I'm going to put the question in spoilers just in case our exploratory friends happen to start reading.Again, question for the currently sober people:

For whatever reason I tend to "spiral out" kind of easily when I'm tripping. Other people sometimes exacerbate this; make me extra anxious, or just say really weird unsettling shit. I took a very low dose of shrooms and went to a concert the other night. I was having an absolute blast, and about 1/4 of the way into the show the thought "Man this is so freaking fun, this concert is so great, I couldn't even think about having a bad trip." Hit me. I'd taken little enough that it only took me a few minutes to work through that, and stop the loop in my head.

But that's the sort of thing that tends to happen to me semi-regularly when I'm tripping. I have kind of a hard time not latching onto negative influences/thoughts, and more-often-than-not it kind of just ruins the trips for me. Am I just not cut out for psychedelics? Am I not setting myself up for success well enough by not really doubling down on set & setting?

Edit: At least for me I've noticed a couple things that tend to set me off. If someone I'm tripping with says some shit like "Man I feel like I'm going crazy!" that almost instantly starts the spiral. Talk of suicide will also get to me, that I at least understand with my history. I've also noticed I tend to do much better (generally speaking) when I'm alone, as opposed to when I'm with a friend (or 3.) All the added chatter just tends to fuck with my head I think.

Any advice on what to do, or how to handle this sort of predicament I seem to find myself in?
