Need Some Advice, Smokings Not What It Used To Be

[raw tunes]

ok so lately ive been taking a break from smoking, mostly because i thought i was going to have to take a drug test for work
but the job thing didnt work out
so i smoked a few times, but not nearly as much as i used to
and every time i smoke i get very depressing thoughts and i feel really akward in social situations
i just feel real reserved and not as outgoing as i normally am
and hardly ever just get in a chill mood anymore


and the other day i made a huge mistake
i was going on a date with this girl i just met
it was our second date, so i didnt really know her
but the first date was so uncomfortable and akward I had to do something to make it better
so i was like, "do you smoke weed?"
she said yes so we smoked before we went to the movies
and it was a terrible idea
i probably seemed retarded and it made things even more akward

so i pretty much threw out any expectations of hanging out with her again, oh well



but let me know what you guys think of continuing to smoke or not

Thanks

[raw tunes]

yeah man
i remember back in highschool smoking
and just being retarted, body high and all
but i felt amazing
i wish i could get high like that now

yea I can relate to that social akwardness at times. especially when i get akward and start talking akwardly with weird facial expresssions. lol. but what you have to do is maybe not smoke for a day or two when you have social things going on like a date or something. or try smoking alot less. its all about your mind tho. i feel alot more comftorable around stoned people when im high then sober ppl. sober people trip me out cause im always wondering what theyre thinking


*holy shit 420 posts for me. woohoo. this forums addictive

Doggggg, just chill man. What you gotta realise is that most situations are already awkward and smoking weed can make it better or make it worse, but its really all in your head with the anxiety thing...just dont think about it much, enjoy yoiur high and let it flow...I talk WAY too much when im high so that makes me feel awkward sometimes but when nothing's being said, it defines awkwardness. I try to convince my self in 3rd person "Your high man, youve done this before, you know that anxious feeling is just the weed and as soon as you relax it will go away and you cna enjoy your high."

You really have to enjoy smoking weed and the high to reach my level of being high and being social. Tolerance is not on your side so either smoke a lot more so you can function while baked OR only smoke when you dont have something to do. Hope this was helpful.

Sounds to me like this is a "Man vs. Self" conflict.

I think you just need to chill out a bit, be more confident, and play the game. It's no big deal bro, and I doubt that chick went home thinking you were a nerd or something. Smoke with some bros and have a good time.

Oh, and don't give up on that girl.

Yeah for real, I bet if you watch a movie with her at home and burn one down with a few beers/ glasses of wine and the only thing awkward will be locating your clothes scattred around the house.

If she says anything about you acting weird on the last date, blame it on stress and weed. Shit, you wouldnt be lying, as unstonerific as it is to use weed as a scapegoat, dont give up on a girl just cause you got high and felt some awkwardness.

For my most recent GF (we broke up, has nothing to do with bud) pot brought us closer together.

im right there with you on feeling a little burned out from smoking. i love getting high, but like you said, it just seems like it was just THAT much more dope back in highschool, getting ripped beyond the ability to complete a thought, and just being like "im blazed and i dont give a fuck".

now that ive been smoking more, its obvious to me that i just dont get as high, and even when i do its just not as special.

i think what it comes down to is (for me at least) getting out of the habit of smoking AS a habit. maybe youll re-learn to love getting ripped if you only smoke when you really feel like its what you want to do, not just because its what your used to doing. im gonna try that, hope it helps
