Using LSD to overcome social anxiety/gain confidence/kill insecurity?

Nothing worse than dosing too low. My trip was also 5 hits, but I would def reccomend smaller doses at first to familiarize with tripping before attempting a potentially life changing experience that high doses can provide.

 

yea thats true. :cheers2: but thats why i said for the dude to take 2 hits. i know one 1 hit will give a nice body high from the lsd and maybe somethin else but 2 hits will def give him a good trip

 

i was kinda of in your postition. i took drugs and lsd to try and change the person i was. i hated who i was. lsd is a drug that can change u deeply. i experienced the change i was looking for, i no longer want to take lsd, cause each time i do i come thro the hole a different person. i am now happy with who i am and i dont want to take lsd.

i had alot of social anxieties and that sort of stuff, and whether it was the drugs or merely just growing up, i have become alot better.
but now im on half a anti-depressant (lexapro) and surprisinly it is really good. i do not have any depression or anxiety, and the side effects are very small. a full dose however the side effects are strong. and the benefits of a full dose are just shit. i cant beleive the packet recomends a full dose. but anyway, u can choose acid, it will change u, or u could do anti-depressents for 6 months... that will train ur brain also, it isnt a permanent thing.

 

Yeah that's why I don't want to do anti-depressants.

I'd rather go with something very strong that I only have to do a few times (or maybe only once)

How big a dose did you take Peter?

 

well i don't mean to be a dick here but peter has taken WAY, WAY, too much acid.

the thing is with lsd man is that it will change you if you have a real divine experience. i mean once your perception is stretched so far it's almost impossible for things to not change. experiences like this can take many forms and isn't always like experiencing complete ego loss. small doses won't induce quite as powerful of an experience, but will still be there to some extent. things like this really can't be induced though, they just sort of happen. i'm a strong believer that these kinds of things are left up to fate. but if you take enough, then you will probably be able to push yourself over the threshold.

my advice to you is that you shouldn't look upon psychedelics as a tool for changing yourself. they can however be looked upon as a tool for working upon aspects of yourself and resolving issues that you have, not to change you. paradoxically, as a result then you may change. you shouldn't confuse yourself with your baggage. the difference is vital.

also with the double edged sword... the thing is that when you do attempt to 'awaken' yourself in order to attack your anxiety problems then you need to be ready for what is about to come your way, and be ready to embrace it. premature kundalini awakening can cause insanity and decades of suffering. in the end it resolves itself, for the greater good, but that is alot to go through. in many ways lsd use can be likened to this. things like this wouldn't happen if the person was ready or had embraced what they were shown. this is why i so strongly believe that things like this are left up to fate.

but don't let me discourage you though. it sounds like your intentions are very pure and you are definitely interested in psychedelics for the right reasons. just be careful not to be too eager. patience is a virtue.

remember, we are all children of god! all roads lead to home. eace:

 

LSD will destroy you mightily.

 

some people need to be destroyed. i know i was.

 

yeah that's the point

Yeah the issue i have with anxiety is i just think wayy too much in certain situations. Lsd has kinda fixed that in a way but not really. When i'm on it it feels like everything is possible and i become crystal clear with what i need to do, but then i kinda fall into my same thought patterns of thinking too much. I have taken two hits at once, and that is as far as i want to go for now. Mabey i will take 3 hits sometime to see where that gets me but you could say that i am scared because i am. It is scary the thought of losing my old thought patterns because then i worry about where will i end up?

 

break out of your shell.

you can't just rely on acid to change you. you have to learn from it and do what it takes to actualise what it is showing you. lsd only opens the door.

 

imo the antidepressants are more of a placebo if anything. It really is all in your head man, but maybe the acid will make you realize that more thoroughly

 

I know lsd isn't the answer, i just love it soo much though. My main problem is that i don't push myself into very many situations because i actually just don't want to deal with people because they make me think too much. I just like living my own life by my rules and being relaxed mentally. When i do push myself to be in situations, is done purely out of boredom and the essential need to stimulate my mind.

 

Dont be a little bitch, overcome you anxiety on your own.

 

hey man, who said you had to live by other people's rules. make your own world!

but i mean you should be confronting your fears. just don't be surprised when you find out that what you are fighting for is a big empty chasm of misdirected potential.

 

Yeah you are right, i probly just need i higher dose of i don't give a fuck when around people. I had a good amount of that when i was younger but all the experiences added up and made me subconciously think that people are more of a hassle than its worth. And i'm not a little bitch, i just don't give a fuck about most of societys crap.

 

I wouldnt care at all about society but society is whats helping me work and pluse the scores of women ...If not i would love to be go around barefooted not caring at all...

 

I've already tried doing countless things that are far and completely beyond my "confort zone". No dice. I've done shit that would scare the piss out of my extrovert friends to do.

You have no idea how badly I've tried.

 

what exactly are we dealing with here then? why do you still feel insecure after confronting your fears?

i mean, insecurity to a certain extent is just natural.

at a certain point you have to come to terms with your past and move on. attachment is almost always a hinderance, including being attached to the ideas of your past -- especially since those ideas are effecting you negatively. there is only the moment that is now.

Dunno. It's basically just non-existent self esteem which leads to the social anxiety.

I've "faced my fears" in that I've done all kinds of crazy shit in social situations to feel that "rejection" that I feared so much and kind of "flood" it (i.e. like if someone was afraid of snakes they could be in a room with a bunch of them to realize their fear is unfounded), but that doesn't remove the sense of lack and worthlessness, which is basically just due to some fucked up thought loops that I have been unable to change (and I've tried many different ways).

Anyways... it's cool. I'm becoming more and more convinced, from what I've been reading, that either LSD or shrooms or both will get me sufficiently "outside my headspace" enough to make me realize that everyone's all on the same level or whatever, and then I'll be all good.

 

Basically to some that up, been there done that, that was for the first half...The second half would be "boom"? something like that haha
