I can't get my trips right.. I keep messing up.

I'd for sure say it's you buddies being a bunch of idiots. Every time I've had shrooms I like to take 6-7 grams, usually pick up a ounce and grab the biggest cap(s) and have a couple buddies over. I don't like going outside and definitely wouldn't be cruising around with someone drunk.
I blaze for sure but I also put my self in a good environment.
Also If I was in a shitty mood I wouldn't even eat shrooms, only time I have ever had a bad trip is when I was somewhere bad, if that makes sense.
Like driving with someone drunk, wouldn't even do this sober and I'd wouldn't let it happen, if I could. Or being around people you don't like and annoy you.
Even listening to some sad music
I just make sure I have a good time

right - think about how you would normally have a good time and plan the time out - don't let things drag you into bummer situations - you want no bummers and positive nice atmosphere - wherever you feel the most comfortable and secure - that is where you should trip.. my friends and i used to head up to a nice, flat hilltop near town where nobody else would come up during the trip.. or a friend's house where only friends are there..

things that have messed with my trips include, but are not limited to: angry strangers - traffic - girls who dumped me - alcohol - being left alone in the woods at night - extreme cold - the police - hospitals - sober people driving me around aimlessly - people who react badly to acid due to mental illness - involvement with methamphetamine - vandalism - having to find my way home by myself - lack of food/water - unexpected parents - lack of weed.. the list goes on, but you see, you just avoid things that make you uncomfortable..

weed has always been a positive force in my trips - i never dose without it... i get wild visuals for a few seconds after each hit..

Do you have a problem normally with anxiety or have a fear of dying? Sometimes trips bring out things that we are meant to see and understand.. let one play through with no other substances (even if it gets intense), you may learn something.

paranoia could be set off by smking marijuana. ive seen plenty of people who can handle their smk bug out hard when they mix (shrooms and E). Y keep upping the dose (4-6g) if 2-3.5 was fine and you enjoyed ur trips?

Try tripping by yourself, or at least without drunk people, this is a bad social mix, its almost alwase turned out negative for me when tripping with drunk people. If you drink, then have a few drinks to loosen up during tripping, drunk tripping is fun. but drunks and trippers are polar opposites, drunks are ball busting d-bags and trippers are in fragile mind sets, you can see the issue here i hope.

Thank-you everyone who posted on this, I couldn't agree more on the drunks being polar opposites.. It makes sense.

Actually when i'm sober I never have paranoia.. My problem is that sober I have too much balls and end up regretting shit (is why I don't drink.. besides court order), weed keeps me a couchlocked well fed hard worker.. lol. I smoke alot of weed, everyday; sometimes this naturally brings out paranoia.

I ended up deciding not to do them with my buddys.. is it a personal drug? Should it be?

yeah drunk people ruin a trip every time

It is different for everyone, some like it in numbers while others like it in solitude. Get experienced by yourself and learn how you react and furthermore who you are on a deeper level with psychedelics, once you are comfortable with being alone, start working into smaller groups of people if you'd like.
