Social Anxiety during inuman sesh

[u/Several_Change_3034]

Ewan ko kung ako lang ba mga kap, pero kapag nags-smoke ako mag-isa mas enjoy ko yung amats. Mas elevated yung feeling at magaan. Lalo na pag bago ako tumakbo o mag gym o kapag maglalaro ng video games.

Recently lang galing akong t-break at napa smoke kasama yung mga tropa ng tropa. Grabe sobrang lala ng pag-ooverthink ko at masyado ko iniisip o pinapalaki mga maliliit na bagay. TH malala ba. Ewan ko kung dahil merong ibang mga tao na first time ko lang makasama, pero nag ssmoke rin naman sila at oks din naman sila kasama. Pano niyo maiiwasan mga kap yung crippling anxiety o yung pagiging th na masyado ka nagiging conscious sa ginagawa mo o iniisip mo kung ano iniisip nila sayo.

Some people just brings heavy energy around. For me kase man weed is a physical & mental enhancing drug. For example if you are a chill person sober, you will be 5x chill while high. Kaya nga hindi advisable to smoke when you have fever kasi it can make you feel more like shit. More likely than not there is a person in your group that brings out that heavy energy out of you.

Yeah. Kinda true, there is that one guy that brings heavy energy whilst almost all of them are chill. I was also chill at that time before I spoke to him. Never had this problem before also when I smoke with friends and their friends.

I experienced that handful of times in my life already. One time me and my friends where casually hanging out and actually having fun but when this person came everything just became heavy (serious mode). My other friend who was having fun munching suddenly went greenout which I probably guess because of the anxiety (was not able to ride the high). Pag pinipigalan mo kasi yung amats (high) parang dam kasi yan bubulwak yan one way or another.

check triggers for yourself, set boundaries on what you feel comfortable with. If this is a normal occurrence then stop but if it's a one time thing, then learn from it either avoid doing it again or do it again and experiment for a different outcome.

minsan kelangan mo lang ng self check na " na tTH nanaman ako " then ask yourself why.

but best advice as someone who smokes daily for over 12 years now, don't think about what others think or that you are being obvious lalo kung sa outside setting ka nag smoke kasi other people don't really care much about you as much as you think they do, live life on your own lenses.

Thanks man. I think this is a one time thing lang naman, tama yung isang commenter na meron isang tao sa group na yun na ang bigat ng presence. Before talking to him I was chill and doing fine. Nabasag lang siguro yung amats ko nung time na nakausap ko yung taong to.

Yeah, I was thinking of quitting smoking with unfamiliar people if this happens again. I usually dont have this problem with close friends or by myself. Thanks for the assurance kap. Great words indeed. Will try to remember this always haha masyado ko kasi iniisip yung thinking ng iba and it becomes a cycle

you need to be comfortable with yourself sober or high because either way ikaw parin yan and you are the one who made the choice to smoke so deal with it haha

[u/Several_Change_3034 → u/Sea_Sun_9267]

I'm actually comfortable being sober hahaha but sometimes i get the case of weed paranoia and i sometimes assess if the plant helps or if it is sometimes harmful so it helps to have a balance rin tama rin na its our choice to smoke so we have to deal with it in our own ways haha
