It is always suspicious when someone who claims doing shrooms/experienced something first hand is when they fully understood empathy for someone else.
Ok so like you had understood all that deeper nuance and meaning that would require months if not years of cognitive self work to identify struggle and develop respect and compassion for those around you and you mean to say the ONLY thing holding you back was observation?
Like you couldn’t even take the half step to imagine it even for a second on your own?
It’s like when someone claims their behaviour and emotions are just ‘out of control’ leading to acting abusive to their loved ones but then knows how to put on a face when company comes over.
It’s not so much about understanding empathy. It’s basically poisoning yourself, having a shit time, such a shit time that they end up being able to appreciate basic things. Not just in themselves but in others.
It’s hard to do things, it’s hard to focus, and your voice becomes louder with raw emotions and low inhibition.
So you realize how amazing people as a being are, you appreciate everything that makes life work.
However it’s fleeting, rapidly fleeting. It is a moment. You have to learn from it and detach from it.
Did you grow up in what you’d consider an emotionally healthy and open atmosphere?
Secondly, have you ever tripped properly?
The first one is because if the answer is “yes”, then it might be hard imagining that sort of revelation even if you do trip. If it’s “no” on the other hand, I am curious whether you’ve tripped on an amount you felt was “properly high” and whether you did it with people you trusted at the time?

Two questions:
Did you grow up in what you’d consider an emotionally healthy and open atmosphere?
Secondly, have you ever tripped properly?
The first one is because if the answer is “yes”, then it might be hard imagining that sort of revelation even if you do trip. If it’s “no” on the other hand, I am curious whether you’ve tripped on an amount you felt was “properly high” and whether you did it with people you trusted at the time?
