Shrooms made me beta.

Being kind isn't being beta. Being overly kind to your own detriment is beta. You can be kind and also alpha.

I am a kind person, but as soon as i see someone start to take advantage of that, i stop being kind, they have lost their privileges. You need to have boundaries to be respectable.

No experience with shrooms, lots of LSD only.

While high, LSD puts you in that childlike state that can seem beta. However, it lets you see yourself and the things around you in a more abstract way. This typically allows you to feel more confident in coping with change once you're off it. This can help you in your RP endeavours and realisations, but too much or taking it solely with intention of getting pleasure from the euphoric effect is where you'll enter hippie-betaville. Taking it with purpose and retrospection is key.

As an aside, Steve Jobs used to take LSD all the time during his early 20s and, in my view, is one of the most machiavellian and RP men to ever make a mark in Silicon Valley. He claimed it was hugely formative to his success and the person he became later in life.

Shrooms had the opposite effect on me.

I came to a lot of realizations about the things in my life holding me back and cut them out.

Like you, I also enjoyed the beauty of nature and the company of other people but that doesn't make you beta. I found it easier to relate to people after shrooms and felt much more positive in general.

I've taken shrooms and LSD around 7-8 times total and I think they are a large part of the self improvement and success I've experienced in the last few years.

The most successful trip I had was when I went in with the mindset of focusing on my goals. All cylinders in my head clicked and I was able to clearly establish a plan for all of my goals.

I also had one bad trip on the biggest does of LSD that I took. It wasn't terrible but I experienced ego death and left my body. While it was slightly terrifying I was able to see all my insecurities and failures and this was the most eye opening trip for me.

I think the biggest thing to take away is that psychedelics can have different effects on different people. Each trip is also different and will have different results. If shrooms are negative for you then don't do them. It's also possible that the shrooms haven't tmade you more beta they might have just helped you past the anger phase and now you need to keep working toward your goal.

I almost spit my coffee all over the monitor when I read that title. Yeah, shrooms make you vulnerable and prone to kindness. Not sure that's the same as being turned into a beta...

Shrooms got me back in touch with myself I think. Being on shrooms lets you see your own insecurities and shit like that, accept them and move on. Which is what capable people can do with or without drugs. What you have to remember is most people are defined by their weaknesses which makes them take advantage of people who assume otherwise. The key is to be as good to yourself as possible, and as good to others as they allow you to be. Don't assume they have a handle on their flaws just because you try to have a handle on yours. Hope that makes sense.

"I don't get what I want. My shrooms use made me lose sight of my goals and made me lose sight of 'the big picture' so to speak."

I'm not convinced there is much discussion to be had. It's such a subjective experience that I think you have to go with your own gut and disregard others' opinions on the matter.

Shrooms didn't make you beta. It just made you way too fucking high. Give yourself time to come back to reality, lol. I felt the same way when I did marijuana regularly for a short period of time. It takes you to a place of thoughts and emotions that seem so damn real but when you're not high anymore you feel conned. It's the chemicals man. Just stay away from shit like that. Kindness, respect, and being a human being all bring good things into your life. Sure there are people who don't vibe with that type and want to shit all over them. Who cares. Just stay in balance and continue to be a good fucking human being.

Yeah, I see what you mean OP , it happened to me with acid, we did it a few times with friends a not so long ago. Well, not exactly beta, but I also felt that the world would be much nicer if everyone could just be nicer to each other. But I also think it's kind of an illusion, because I know I am not that good of a person either, and while dreaming about a perfect world was certainly nice, it doesn't really help you in the long run.
So yeah, now I'm just trying to learn a good way to coexist with other people.
Also, thing is, I was also smoking way too much weed regularly, which in turn made me more anxious, withdrawn, which I kinda already was from the start.
So I stopped taking acid, smoking entirely.
However, I think there's much to be gained from psychedelics for most people, if they go in with the right mindset.
