SWIM has always been something of a quiet and introverted person. But during the first few years of use, he found that mdma made him a lot less self-aware and more open to strangers. He'd start conversations with people he didn't know, he'd hug people he didn't know and so on. Basically all the classic stuff associated with ecstasy use.
But in recent years he's found that the drug has the opposite effect - it causes him to become more introverted than before. He'll go to a club with friends, take some mdma, and then spend the night on his own thinking about trivial things. He also finds that it makes him VERY self aware - he worries that people are talking about him, and if he makes eye-contact with people he fears that they think he's staring at them
Has anyone else experienced this? Does SWIY think it's just down to the drug enhancing SWIMs already less-than-positive mindset?
