Overthinking things when high ?

    So the last couple of times I've been high I always overthink things and constantly remember every embarrassing thing I've said or done and end up feeling like crap which ruins my high. Normally when i'm sober I do this aswel, I'll think about how people view me or how I may have said something that could have come across as weird or cringey and beat myself up about it, but when i'm high it's like these feelings are 10 times worse. It's all i can think about during my high and i find myself waiting for the high to wear off so I can stop feeling so crappy.

    I used to smoke quite a bit when i first started about a year ago, maybe 3-4 joints a week (Thats a heck of a lot for me), but when i started to feel like this i cut down and stopped all together. I haven't smoked for around 4 months now and just want to be able to get high and enjoy it like i used to, I want to be able to listen to some music and chill or watch a movie and laugh but I can't because of how I'm distracted by these thoughts and how crap i feel.

    When I smoke with my mates it's not as bad but they've all stopped smoking so if I do smoke now it'll be on my own. Is there any way to stop feeling this way ? Should I be smoking a certain type of weed and be avoiding others? Thanks for reading :)

    Weed is telling you there is something wrong in your mind... you say even when your sober your mind tends to focus on what others think of you, which it shouldn't... That said, you gotta work on yourself to fix your problem.

    This. Like Bob Marley said, when you smoke the herb, it reveals yourself to you. Use this insight to acknowledge your problem and face it. I've learned that what other people think of you is worth shit, you've got to be your own self and love yourself the way you are. Realize you're a valuable human being for the mere fact that you're on this Earth, there's a reason and a purpose for you, whether you believe in religion or not, which is beside the point. Later in life you will realize that being popular or liked only takes you so far and in the end leaves you with emptiness as your self worth is defined by those who surround you, instead of being based on your own love for yourself which is something that no one can ever take away from you.

    Also practice being a good person in general. Care, help and be kind to other people, animals, the environment, etc. When you do this, your conscience/soul will be in peace and you can rejoice in the mere fact that the world is a better place, albeit in a small way, because of your existence, that you've made a difference somehow.

    this is good advice. I had basically the same problem as you do, both in terms of when you are high and when sober. its strange but the weed actually helped me in this regard, I would totally overthink my behavior and how other people perceived in when high and then when I became sober, I realized how overexaggerated and silly my perception of myself was when high..i then took the next step and said to myself, well, maybe I am overexaggerating and being silly when im sober too...its all a matter of perception...the reality is no one really pays that much attention to the behaviors of others most of the time...so just be yourself and realize some people will like u and some people will not like you and be content with that

    I get that way when smoking sativa dominant strains. IDK, I get wrapped up in my own thoughts, mix in a little paranoia and boom, I get exactly what you're describing..

    On indica this never really happens to me

    Good thread, I'm the exact same way and once in a while I think myself into a panic attack.

    OP, are you very quiet when high?

    Also the guy above me is right about sativa dominant strains. Try a hybrid or indica. I heard strawberry cough is relaxing and your mind doesn't race.

    Yeah I tend not to talk when I'm high because of being afraid of saying something dumb or stupid. I'd rather play it safe and say nothing. Thanks for the advice I'm gonna try smoking indica and see if it makes any difference.

    I have a gf :) she doesn't smoke though, and hates the fact that I do sometimes. She's pretty chill about me smoking once or twice a week but any more than that and she's on my case :smoking:

    I understand it happening sober but weird how it hangs around after a toke.

    I had this problem too, turns out my care factor was turned up way too high.

    Blaze it all up till you cant think no more. Youll learn a lot about yourself this way. But please do this resposibly brother

    This is why u don't smoke when u have a problem u can't do anything about or if something really bad happened or hurt u. U just sit there and over analyze everything. I hate it
     
  18. #18 iluvnugz, Apr 9, 2013
    Or overanalyze it so much that you know how to fix it right away

    I just make myself think positive thoughts about myself. Or force myself to think something else. works for me.
