found out why im quiet when im high

Turns out I have selective mutism. I think that means im retarded lol.

Pretty much all my life I've been real quiet around people. I remember in first grade I would only talk to one kid and if I was asked a question I would tell the kid my answer and have him answer for me.

Its getting a lot better though. Im not afraid to shout out answers in class or look like a complete dumbass in front of my peers. Still have problems meeting new people though unless im introduced by a friend.

But for some reason when I smoke I just get real quiet and I keep to myself. Like people will be having conversation around me and I will just sit there thinking about my own stuff cause I don't want to converse with those people. My cousin is the only one I can get high as fuck with and still carry on good conversations with. Also when I had a girlfriend I could get high with her and we could talk all day.

So yeah, selective mutism sucks. Apparently some people can grow out of it. Another option is antidepressants, which I do not want because they can fuck with me in more ways than I can imagine

Is this a real diagnosis?

I get kinda quite sometimes when I smoke too. Other times you can't shut me the fuck up. Depends on the smoke and how my bi-polar is feeling that day.

Lol, you worry too much. It's all in your head. Just don't give a fuck about what others think.

I don't think you're broken at all. .Here are three links/articles that may interest you.

The Introvert's Corner (Psychology Today Blog), an article from Psychology Today,

and an interview from The Atlantic.

Hmmm...I used to be quiet when high...then one of my friends called me on it...I was only quiet to keep from saying dumb things...lol

I used to be the same way , even when sober. Until I got to high school and met w girl that used to be the same way we clicked instantly.
By my senior year people couldn't pay me to shut up lol

It's mainly in your head. I used to think about what I was gonna say too much. You just have to stop holding back and speak what's on your mind.
That's how I did

BTW my pussy rate went thru the roof once I stopped giving a fuck about what other thought about me.

It was only like 2 years ago that I really stopped being quiet when high... I'd just get too fucking high to respond, I'd communicate with nods, shaking my head and shrugs... could not speak if I tried...

KushXOJ - I've never really given a fuck about what other people think of me and my pussy rate if compared to a plant I would say that it has extremely low yields with only a few branches and barely any budding sites...

Yes it is a real diagnosis. I mean, not by a doctor, but everything I've read about it today describes me.

When im sober, I am usually myself. I think that's why im single right now actually, I can't really think of anyone that can handle my obnoxiousness. Think of a drunk teenager. That's me when im sober. But I don't really care that that's me because I usually have a shit ton of fun all day everyday.

I am going to try talking more while high. See how it works out. Maybe I'm just meant to smoke alone

Look familiar ? Here's the plant you described

there's the cinnamon toast

I almost always smoke alone... but you're young still mate, plenty of time to develop conversation skills when high... Next time start a conversation before you inhale, then keep talking, talk about something you like ask for opinions on things etc... and over time you'll be able to converse for longer while being high... I go shopping high now, flirt with check out chicks, have convos with people I know that I meet downtown... Don't worry about it...

So you read some stuff online and diagnosed yourself with a disease/disorder?

Hell, what do I know? Maybe you do have it, but I seriously doubt it.

Your just quiet nothing wrong with you ,a lot of smokers go quiet in the beginning ,after youve been smoking for 10 years or so this wont happen.

i was quiet at first.. but that was cause i was shy didnt want to make myself look like an idiot.

now that i am a seasoned veteran... aint no problems. get lit, and get the jabber jaw.

coke just get a bag snort three good fat lines and bang prob solved

I bet your smarter then alot of other people..
Want to know why I think so?
Cause you spend more time in your head then in a Social world if you catch my drift.
You should be proud of this gift.
Im the same way. Online I have no problem communicating lol.

^^ amen nice ol bud

And yes I did diagnose myself online. I live in the generation where internet is the equivalent to your god haha. I've actually diagnosed myself plenty of times using information on the internet. Not all of it is false information.

I think I will be smoking alone for a while though. Yesterday I was at my friends house and filled a black and mild with some of my white widow and smoked it about halfway. Went inside and my friends brother smoked the rest of it and blamed it on the dog. Funny how the dog only ate the blunt and the joints that looked good and weren't rolled with shit weed. Live and learn

Fuck that GG I wouldn't smoke around them again...

And try to not be so blasphemous... please...
