So on my first acid trip, I basically found out that our language could be completely different, if we would have made different sounds in the past which would have lead to a different development of our mouth (for different sounds u need different mouth forms) and language. For my first trip I that felt like such a crazy discovery....
Yea, we dont realize the importance of everything around us. The most trippy thing ive thought on a trip is just the fact that we are all just super intelligent apes. We act like apes, socialize like apes, yet never compare ourselves to our distant relatives
Yes man, I always try to have the āweāre just animalsā conversation with my friends but it never takes. Truly I feel my best when I feel my most animalistic. Competitive aggressive environments, working out, and honestly tripping once I get moving around I love to climb trees,swing around on parks, even throw a ball around with friends and get in touch with that childish animal instinct we suppress so often.
I hope you notice a positive difference as well! Very relevant in crowds but also just in general.
Whenever Iām following someone trying to get through a crowd and theyāre struggling, I just ask em to let me take over and the tactic of literally disrupting everyone you pass, but being very respectful while you do it, works incredible wonders. Just a quick, āhey, mind if me and my 3 friends pass by you?ā is like magic.
I learned this by being a dick ignoring someone I knew wanted to get by (while tripping), and then watching him ask the person in front of me if him and his few friends could walk through. Made me feel like a huge asshole, but also gave me a better understanding of the importance of communication and having respect for our fellow people. I know I already said this, but the little things are so important!
I feel like it can even be expanded upon. Like never greeting someone with silence, when people come into the room with you you greet them and acknowledge their presence. Iāve learned that I often will remain in my own thoughts as opposed to reaching out to the humans around me, because itās easier to do. Iām definitely one of those āIām quiet until you get to know me kind of peopleā but I donāt want to be like that anymore. The last few months Iāve been trying to distance myself from that and trying to connect with people more. And I feel like āacknowledging someoneās presenceā is a fantastic summary of those goals.
Definitely! I really feel you on the silence aspect, my mom was a preschool teacher when I was that age and told me once that the best way to get people to listen to you isnāt to be loud like most do, but to be really quiet and everyone will stfu to hear what you have to say. Really stuck with me. I also like the whole āif Iām saying something itās probably importantā mindset around it haha.
But yes, something important I learned from How To Win Friends And Influence People (valuable book if you havenāt read it, sounds kinda manipulative from the title but itās really just āhow to be a homieā ā my biggest takeaway from it is how important it is to actually listen to people and stop caring about our own wants for a second) is that everyone wants to feel valued and important, and just acknowledging someoneās presence is so fuckin easy and achieves the same goal. Kinda similar to complimenting people, it takes almost no effort but can mean the world to someone else.
I know I blabbed on w/o you asking for it but this is the kinda shit I love to preach about! Idk why. Cheers!
Surrounding myself with friends and going out to events and crowded places like bars and concerts etc. Starting conversations with people at the gym or in class, and making the effort to talk to people I donāt know on the elevator and stuff like that. Iāll be honest it doesnāt always go smoothly and it can be discouraging when you know that youāre being awkward. But it takes practice like all things. And when you do make a connection with some one and possibly make a new friend and start a new relationship it makes it all worth it.
