God no!
I do the opposite. I try to get out of my head and act like a drunk idiot just enjoying the party.
Not everything in life needs to be heady or metaphysical. A party is just a party.
There are times in life to contemplate and meditate, and other times to JUST PARTY!
I know exactly how hard it is because I went through exactly what you're going through.
I know exactly how negative your mind is.
And yet, there's no other solution but to approach. Sitting there making excuses is not going to solve anything.
It helps a lot to find an experienced wing-man in your town to guide you.

Hello Guys! This will be my first post in here
Just wanted to share my experience and insights I got from this groundbreaking trip of mine. 
 So lets take a look: 
Setting: At home late in the evening 
Set: All alone, with 1.5 tabs of LSD (Estimated 180ug per tab) 
Intention: What is consciousness? 
I have had precious trips where I became slightly conscious of what God is, what love is and how reality works. So I wanted to dig deeper this time. This being my 15th trip.
I began taking the tabs  around 9 pm, and under an hour the effects kicked in - I was in my room laying on the bed. Suddenly while being on the phone (waiting for the trip to kick in), the apps and text on the screen began moving aggressively. Now I knew I was in for a deep trip. While the effects kept becoming stronger, I could feel that my whole body was vibrating. It felt like strong waves of energy coming through my entire body. I felt lighter in my body, and my mind expanded. I could feel how the acid was making my brain more interconnected. - All of a sudden I felt the presences of God. I became conscious that we are not this body.
How foolish are we to think that we are separated from everything else. And how afraid of death we are. I remember being nervous at that moment, but then I reminded myself of the mindset I always take with me before a trip: "Surrender is the key - Surrender yourself, life, ego, identity, body and sanity to God and infinity". And when I surrendered I finally understood. Everything is Infinite Love. Death is paradise.
While having these realizations, there was a conversations going on with God. He told me "They don't understand when they give up, surrender I will give them Paradise. Death is paradise, there is no death! Everything and everyone is God". There were so many thoughts racing through my head - I felt like I was expanding to Infinity. But at the same time, my room was the only thing there was. I was completely present. Saw the beauty of everything - Everything was so magical and beautiful. 
The realizations just kept coming. It wouldn't stop. Life is Infinite Love and death is Infinite Love. When you truly forget yourself (Ego - Identity) and surrender, than God will give you paradise. The insights and conversation with God kept going deeper: "My design is to develop more complexity towards Infinite Love. You are God! You are Infinite Love. I am all alone and everything is my imagination, all people, the whole world is my imagination. I am beautiful, you are beautiful, Everything is beautiful and everything is Infinite. 
I became so mesmerized. It was to BIG to handle, it was indescribable. I was utterly in a state of amazement. - Later in the trip the thought of everything is meaningless came up. And I realized that everything is truly meaningless in the Absolute. Like if I died right now, it wouldn't make no difference at all. Its like we all are sleep walking through life and chasing all these meaningless things. - But with the presence of God I was well rested, that yes everything is meaningless. But its also Infinite Love. - The Love that God has to itself is infinite. To be is the goal. Its all about being. Life is about giving love to the creation. 
 
- I had more insights - But overall the theme of the trip was Love. - At a point in the trip I left my room. It was so weird, because I felt like a child again. Everything felt so big, so magical and utterly beautiful, everything was sharp, the colors so brighter, It felt like I was in a cartoon world (So far from the ordinary reality - Truly crazy what consciousness is capable of) . - It was so funny going around, and even more funny when I looked at myself in the mirror. I was lost in the beauty of my surroundings. And than right there! I became conscious of the Infinite Creativity. Thats existence right there for you it is Infinite Creativity/Imagination. We as humans have acces to this Infinite Creativity. Look around, we have built cities, machines, art etc. All stemming from this Infinite Creativity. - The thought came to me "Never underestimate human creativity". 
After some time (Didn't keep track of the time), the trip slowly faded away. And I was in a deep place of gratitude for these insights. Truly I feel like I need to be more grateful for everything in my life. It was one of the most profound and groundbreaking trips for me so far. Much deeper than the previous ones. Psychedelics is a gift, it can open your eyes to the Truth. 
Some Minor Insights I want to mention also
 
- Showing Gods love trough your Life Purpose. Yes everything is absolutely meaningless, but it doesn't matter - Because it gives you the freedom to do anything, to acces this Infinite Creativity and give love through your work. 
- Death of the ego/identity will ease a lot of things for you in your life. Yes its not easy in real life, but you have to remind your to surrender - Surrender to God - To the present moment. Let go of the constant pain and monkey chatter that the ego creates. Look at the beauty! Everything is beautiful! Look at the marvelous creation of God! 
- Infinity - God - Truth is indescribable. In way its so sad, because 99% of people in the world would in no way remotely understand what you are talking about. It is to deep, to radical, to insane. They wouldn't understand and It being indescribable because of its infinite nature, makes me wonder if there ever comes a day when this stuff becomes main stream. - And no spirituel teachings and major religions is the Truth. Neither Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism etc. is the Truth in it themselves. Many of these traditions do contain spirituel truths, some more than others. But in the end, they are all the finger pointing at the moon. - You have only yourself. Only you can realize the Truth. 
(I am in now way in a position to tell anyone what is true or not. And many of these insights and realizations is also for myself to work on. I am no where near being perfect or awakened. Just wanted to share with likeminded people. Because lets face it, many of us can't talk about this with 99% of the people in our life, neither with family or friends.) 
- I also have had minor personal insight, which I can't really put into words, But I'll try. - It was like God directed me to be more open to my feminine side and sexuality. In a way I feel like I understand, but its still not so clear for me. Like do I have to surround myself with more feminine energy and presence in my life? 
There were many more realizations and insights, some I remember and some not. But I feel like I wrote the essens of the trip. Thank you so much for reading! May God ease your pain and fill your life with Love. 
 
 
 
 

That is most true with materialistic stage Orange girls. Hippie girls are often more savvy, looking for soulmates and such.
Girls in Vegas are the loosest.

Of course it's both.
There are many technical aspects of game if you want to get really good. But there are also general principles of being more attractive and high value as a man. Ideally you master both.
No amount of high value will help you if you cannot do such a simple technical feat as open your mouth and talk to girl you've never met before, and do it in a charming, non-creepy, non-panicked way.

That's what happens when you start to self-actualize. You see more and more how much time and potential you squandered by doing other useless shit like a monkey.
That deep regret is a sign of you becoming more conscious. Most people are so asleep they never even know what they missed. They live and die in blissful ignorance.

@PenguinPablo You have to do some serious limiting-belief busting.
There's no way forward in life so long as your mind is full of those recirculating toxic beliefs.
I had to do a lot of busting of my limiting beliefs when I was starting out in this work.
The problem is, your potential in life is so monstrously huge that your mind will not believe it is real. It sounds too much like a pipe dream. The mind needs to be whipped into opening itself.

Exactly. Tradeoffs.
It is every girl's dream to catch a player and lock him down.
Well, it's playing with fire. Maybe you can lock him down, maybe you can't. Depends on what you're offering.
Dating is a sort of market auction system where buyers and sellers have to meet each other's value propositions.
The better you make yourself the higher your bids can be. The key, as with other areas of life, is to bring massive value to the negotiating table. Then you can get what you want. But most people are too lazy to up their value. They want to leech value.

Of course!
You act like this is some special handicap unique to you.
Literally EVERY guy struggles with this. Even experienced PUAs still get approach anxiety on their first few sets of the night. That's why warm up sets are so important, and building up state.
You really need to watch some old school RSD videos circa 2012, where all this is explained and addressed.
There is no trick to overcoming this problem. You must do hundred of approaches by facing your fears. You will realize all your fears are illusions. But no amount of logic will resolve this. Only approaching will.
You overcome it by realizing you're being a pussy, and by forcing yourself to approach regardless of how you feel.

There too many ways to list them all:
Grooming better Dressing better Having a strong sense of life purpose and direction Developing charisma Developing humor Developing confidence, leadership skills, speaking skills Earning money, becoming successful, reputable, famous Building a social circle of cool and positive friends Being more social Gaining experience with women Doing pickup & cold approach Developing flirting skills Improving your vocal tone and body posture Going to the gym and shaping up your body Improving your diet Building an amazing life for yourself Developing amazing sexual skills Developing emotional connection and your feminine side Meditation & consciousness work Self-love and self-acceptance Developing misc skills such at: cooking, home repair, home defense, sewing, arts & crafts, martial arts, yoga, photography, etc. Becoming a good human being Improving your communication skills Improving your relationship skills Learning, reading, knowledge Building an awesome bachelor pad/home that will make a girl wet just from walking in Traveling around the world And more... You could invest 10 years of full time work developing all that.
None of it is necessary to get laid, but all of it ups your value.
Bottom line: become awesome, and awesome people will gravitate towards you. Or stay lame, and lame people will gravitate towards you. But don't expect to have awesome people in your life while you're lame and too lazy to change yourself. A lazy, sloppy, victim attitude instantly makes you repulsive, since you are a value-leech, expecting something for nothing. If you want something special you must be eager to work for it.

Nothing. It just takes some courage and confidence in yourself.
If you can't muster the courage to even walk up and introduce yourself, why on earth would she ever let you inside her legs? A weak guy like you doesn't deserve a hot girl.
The solution is to become a strong guy. Strong guys get hot girls.
When you want something in life, you have to be willing to work your ass off for it. Amazing shit is not just gonna land in your lap. You must BUILD what you want. Do you want to be a strong guy? Then BUILD it! Don't ask "But how?" Just get started.

Evil does not exist. It is a projection of your mind.

Trump is 1000% uglier in private than in public and stories of his private ugliness will leak out for decades to come. But none of it will convince Trumpists.
By this point, any decent person understands that Trump is rotten to the core and a menace to democracy.

Yes, no different than if you were a man in a conservative small town, and started saying you're a woman.
People would look at you like you are insane. Because hardly anyone understands that these categories are mentally and socially constructed.

The idea that Trumpists think Trump does anything out of altruism -- "for the good of the people" -- rather than to increase his ego, is laughable.
Trump's only motivation, ever, is whatever most benefits him personally.

It's more accurate to frame it as: consciousness can suffer, but it doesn't have to.
Suffering is just one of an infinite number of things that can be held within consciousness, like the color red, or a bird, or time. Consciousness can hold it, or not hold it.

Girls often fall in love for douchey asshole deadbeat guys who can't keep a job, but they give the girl emotional stimulation and adventure. That is sort of the player stereotype. The manwhore
I bet that a lot of professional women in their 30's and 40's who work boring corporate jobs but make good salaries would kill to have a player boyfriend who fucks her real good and provides her an outlet to be playful and go on adventures.
Girls just wanna have fun and feel their feminine side. Which the proper guy can do for her. That's when she falls hard in love, and he can then exploit her emotional soft spot for him.

All identity is relative.
But of course biology plays a huge role. You identify as human because of your biology. Although of course "human" is still a relative, imaginary, constructed identity.
But it makes more sense for you to identify as human than as a kangroo.
Yes, relativity is easily abused.
We have them. But all agreed upon rules will be challenged and questioned, which is what is happening.
The fantasy is thinking that we can agree on some rules and that's the end of the story. All rules must evolve and all rules have exceptions.
Conservatives love to play the game of agreeing to some rules and then pretending that these rules were not merely an agreement but objective reality handed down by God.

@Craigxt22 Mushrooms can be more challenging than 5-MeO. 5-MeO is very straight forward. It doesn't screw around.

It is a fact that you can be more conscious than you currently are.
End of story.
Everyone is in the present moment, but that doesn't mean everyone is equally conscious of it.
I'm sick of arguing against this neo-Advaita over-simplified shit which refuses to acknowledge differences in consciousness.
Just because you are surrendered to the present moment does not mean you are deeply conscious of anything.
What I care about is CONSCIOUSNESS, not surrender and not liberation and not freedom from suffering and not lack of ego and not some permanent condition. But CONSCIOUSNESS!
It makes no difference to me how long it lasts or what its consequences are.

This is a phony distinction. Whether a state "sticks" or doesn't is completely irrelevant from the POV of truth/reality. This is a criteria that you -- the ego-mind -- is placing upon the situation. Who says that a thing must be permanent for it to be valid or true? The mere fact that it can exist, even for 5 seconds, is enough. Nothing sticks forever. Even your so-called Buddha-level enlightenment will eventually be lost as God will fall asleep at some point after it awakens. Otherwise there wouldn't be any asleep people in the first place.
And yes, some people do have "permanent" states which are very different than all the classical ones you know or could ever access via meditation. Your "permanent" state totally hinges on your neurology, genetics, and brain chemistry. If we tweak your brain to start pumping out new chemicals, you will be permanently living in a new reality. Well, as long as you're in that body.
In the not too distant future we will have a Neurolink-like device which will be installed in your brain which will consistently pump out whatever cocktail of neurotransmitters you want, and you will be able to dial in your baseline state of consciousness to whatever you want. Such a device will be the most important and revolutionary technology that mankind has ever invented.

It's crucial that you address those root issues. Modafinil can give you focus and a mood-boost but it cannot correct for metal toxicity if you got it.
You can start doing heavy metal chelation without many tests, and just see if you feel better from it.

@WHO IS Don't worry, that's where life will end up.
If you really want to go there permanently, just set that intention on your deathbed.
But also, don't be too much in a rush to get there. Enjoy the dream.
Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.
And the grass is always greener on the other side. Once you're there, you'll want to be back here.
There is a good reason why you're here. To experience here. Don't take here for granted. Every corner of God is worthy of exploration.

By definition, Infinite Love Forever cannot have any form or person there. It feels a lot like if you were physically merged with every living being in the universe to the point where all of you became an undifferentiated soup of Love. It's like entering a black hole of Love from which there is no desire to return. You give up the desire to have any concrete personhood or form so that you could merge for fully with every part of the universe.
It's like having an infinitely long, infinite intensely orgasm that is so intense that it kills the body and just keeps going forever beyond the body because the body cannot contain so much Love. It is literally an Endless Ocean of Love in which all memory of having been a human or a person is lost. That is God in its purest form. But this degree of Love is not possible for humans because they choose to be finite and separate from things.
Imagine becoming ONE with a chainsaw. That's real Love

The biggest thing money buys is not happiness, but freedom to not be someone else's bitch.
Being someone else's bitch can make you very miserable.
But once you stop being someone else's bitch, life will still be difficult and full of new challenges. Now you gotta grapple with the biggest challenge of all: not being your own bitch.

You are doing it right, but this is just the early phases of self-inquiry.
For self-inquiry to get serious, now you have to keep focusing awareness on awareness itself while quieting the mind down so it just rests on the awareness of awareness without moving. And just sit like that for as long as you can.
It takes lots of training. The "What am I?" question should become internalized, so to speak, such that it doesn't need to verbalized non-stop. You just sit in silence and focus the awareness of awareness.
Or just take a psychedelic.
