Due to my current state of mind, which is high, this might not make any sense. Do you ever notice that when you smoke with someone at their house and you don't know them, you act a lot different? Like, my friend took me to his dealer's house and the dealer asked if we wanted to smoke a J. Of course, we accepted. I was uncomfortable, I actually probably looked tense. Wasn't joking around and probably wasn't being myself. Was just sitting there all quiet like. But if someone I don't know smokes at my place, I'm a lot more open. I really don't care what they think at that point because it's my place and probably my weed. I just be myself. Either way, my friend's dealer invited me back this friday. I think he's trying to get me to become a customer, but damn his prices are too high for a small sack. Good shit though.
It makes sense. An episode in seinfeld described that part of life "being on" as in you have to act funnier/less like yourself when you meet someone in certain situations. I usually just act myself which is the quite observer/thinker. Of course with my good buddies I'll observe and get in on the jokes because humor is the best part of life
yeah. new environments can be uncomfortable, you spend more time taking in your surroundings then paying attention to the social aspect of the situation.
yeh that used to happen to me.. but i really hated it. i dont like being reduced to a silent/reserved person. so i make an effort to do something even if its not social. look around at the stuff in the persons place. ask them about things. get some conversation goin and try and find something you can comment on or ask about. you just gotta get teh wheels going, and then you may as well be friends by the end of it.
That happens to me a lot too. I have anxiety problems, especially when I'm high but I can usually "think" them away, kind of force myself to be comfortable.
ahh i hate when this happens! i used to smoke in uncomfortable places ALL the time and i hated it.. so now i try and smoke somewhere where i feel comfortable. but when i smoked in uncomfortable places i would tense up and just sit there in silence people probably that i was an idiot
^^^ Not talking? Just enjoy the silence and reflection. If you try talking, nothing of importance or substance will come outcha mouth anyhow.
im kind of like that when im sober but i usually can find something to say once i get high though, im a story teller
when i smoke, i end up saying the most idiotic things so when i'm in a place i feel uncomfortable, i just sit there and be quit to avoid making it even more uncomfortable
i know what you mean. I feel realy tense around new people, but i dont care if their at my house lol. I think often its because you dont know how long your allowed to stay or what your going to do after/ how your getting home. Its much easier if your doing something instead of just sitting there.
Hmm thats weird.. Usually when I smoke w/ people i don't know, we're all usually comfortable. I feel if you're high, and the other person is high, doesnt matter if you've never met them, you have somethin in common: gettin high !
I am the exact same person at home as I am around brand new people in brand new environments. I am extremely outgoing, very open minded and have no shame. If you act weird/different around new people it may be because you secretly seek their approval and mind your pea's and que's around them to ensure that happens. I could give a shit if people like me so I never walk on eggshells around anyone. :spliff: Does that sound as arrogant as I think it does? If so, I sure don't mean for it too. lol
Not arrogant at all. I act the same way around everyone also. I don't like when people act differently around certain people. Alot of times when I'm high, I'll try to tell a story and just ramble on and I always get off topic. But then there's other times when I'm just quiet and just really into whatever music I'm listening to.
it depends how im feeling but if im high with other people im never really uncomfortable mainly cause im high so ill crack some jokes and make conversation cause if im not watchin tv or have anything to do while im high i start talking so it doesnt happen much but i know what you mean ive picked up off some gangsta ass dealers and i usually dont crack any jokes just get the shit and get out
