I'm not entirely sure the functionality of an online forum, so I hope this posting is legitimate. I'd like to start off by first saying I have smoked weed quite often, but this re-occurring scare has been circulating in my mind for a really long time. Whenever I'm around people who haven't smoked pot or are so solely against it or just have reasons to insult me because I'm high, I become deeply paranoid. Especially when people try to trip me out, treating my high as something so ridiculous. It gets to the point where I'll appear dead silent (literally no words). It's unfortunate because, when I'm with my close close close friends, I have a really good time, and laugh and talk and basically never shut up. I was wondering, if there was a way I could train my mind to not care about what others thought. As exciting as it is to digress off into my own world, falling into an abyss of deep perplexing thoughts, I know a social high itself is just as appealing. Is there anything I can do to habituate to my environment and learn to forget about what people think, and act how I truly feel? I want to forget it all. ---------------- Now playing: Boards of Canada - Chromakey Dreamcoat via FoxyTunes
there is a cannabis forum in the Mind Trips section, youll probably get more responses there. There is no way to just get rid of anxiety, it takes a really long time. I had the same problem with smoking weed, and it took me a good three years to really be comfortable while high in a group of people I didnt know. To be honest, it will never go away completely. the best advice I can give you is to immerse yourself in those situations a much as possible, and eventually you will learn that there is nothing to fear. Another thing I did was to look around at the other people who dont talk much, and observe them. I noticed that they were experiencing the same thing that I was, which made me feel better about my anxiety. Once you realize that everyone has moments like that, even the most confident extroverted people you know, it doesnt seem so bad.
Don't hang with people who are not ok with you doing marijuana. If you're forced to hang with those people, don't get high when you do.
take some acid. It might work? worked for me.. But then again it could also make it a lot worse lol But drugs arnt always a viable solution. Maybe go see a therapist. What you have is a phobia Im pretty sure, and a therapist might be able to help you. Or dont smoke weed, if thats the only time you feel like that?
