I am social phobic. But I tried Marijuana

Question

i have social phobia. im very shy and quiet and usually never talk to people. but I tried pot with my friends and I went crazy. I was very loud and did some really crazy things that I would NEVER do. I was talking so much that my mouth really hurt, but I couldnt stop talking. I was talking about really random things , and I couldnt stop.

Is this normal?

Answer 1

If your going to be smoking and don't do it much just know your limits. It's never fun to have a bad high right when getting into it. And weed is good for social anxiety, just don't do it to much. I know alot of people who smoke constantly and it has really changed their personalities. To me it just sounds like your being yourself just without the worrys. Hope it helps you out.  

Answer 2

absolutely, make sure your as high as possible when you go to school, thal'll sovle all your problems

Answer 3

Don't use weed to overcome your social anxiety...that is how you become addicted...same as with alcohol, cocaine...etc.  It lowers inhibitions.  Just be yourself, you'll learn to socialize w/o drugs or alcohol.  Believe me...when they say weed is the "gateway drug", they're not lying.  If your anxiety interferes with your daily life, seek professional help.

Answer 4

Pretty normal.

Just make sure you don't turn into the s**t of the party and another soon-to-be underage mom.

Answer 5

What your problem is that you think your anti-social but your not

no one is anti-social they think it and they believe it

STOP TAKING DRUGS do you really want to be messed up

Answer 6

Are you kidding me? Just socialize in groups without the drugs!

Don't use drugs to hide behind your cowardness.

Answer 7

Please don't think that weed will cure your social phobia,it won't...Leave it alone.

Answer 8

ACTUALLY i find that highly unusual because POT usually makes us a lot more Self Conscious........which would mean that a Socially Phobic person Who is very self conscious which is WHY they are OBSESSED or PHOBIC about being LOOKED AT ........would be more likely to HATE pot.........I really don't get it.

Are you sure you are Socially PHOBIC or just RESERVED and Quiet........but even THAT is strange since POT usually makes people more introspective........well I guess you just became a bit GITTY and if it was your FIRST time that may explain why as well But i will tell you this POT does NOT in any way help loosen inhibitions or make people less SELF CONSCIOUS it does the OPPOSITE it expands your MIND which means it opens up the UNCONSCIOUS and allows you access to more of it than in the usual waking state.......it is a mild hallucinogen. What these drugs do is bring out the truth that the EGO is an illusion.........albeit to different degrees.......pot being very mild but still it BENDS the ego a bit....especially very good pot. It you have an EGO problem Pot is NOT the answer........there are antidepressants that help with social phobia if you feel you MUST be taking something. Ask a doctor.

Answer 9

Maybe the weed help to you lose your inhibitions which usually keep you from talking to people aka your "social phobia". Weed is never a good thing but maybe you should try loosening up and just try saying whatever you want to who ever you want. Kinda like word vomit. It might help you learn to express yourself more and loose your shyness. Again Pot, definite no, no!

Answer 10

wow anyone here who is saying Don't use drugs you coward etc. First off i myself have SAD marijuana helps me considerably to be able to interact with people without feeling self conscious and other SAD symptoms. Also these same people who are looking down on marijuana use are telling you to go see a doctor, and what do doctors do?? they prescribe you medications for that anxiety. Considerably more dangerous chemically engineered drugs might i add. So telling someone they're a coward for using a homeopathic safe method to eliminate their SAD is not only ridiculous but grossly hypocritical since you advocate the use of other drugs that ARE physically addictive and unsafe.

Answer 11

Yeah, normal. It's called your subconscious if you believe in that, I do. Drugs, drinking and other mind altering things bring out a personality inside you that is normally kept in check by your ego. Smoking lowers your walls.

You shouldn't look outside to cure things going on inside you. Drugs are bad. If you self medicate in order to relieve your anxiety, you will end up worse. You can become dependent on smoking just to feel normal. Most people who are depressed or have any mood or personality disorders are or were drug abusers. And why is it that only once they start using drugs that problems enter their lives? They are bad for you and if you disagree, you have not seen the worst of what your are going to face yet. Now a little smoking every once in a while is probably not gonna be harmful to you. But weed cannot cure your problem; it will only make the phobia worse or you will develop an entirely new problem.
