6 Ways Microdosing Can Improve our Social Connections

Microdosing psilocybin refers to the practice of consuming sub-perceptual doses intermittently and for a limited time.

So far, quite a lot of research already has been done on the impact of microdosing in our lives, while simultaneously we are still waiting for scientific research to catch up to all the effects of microdosing psilocybin in general. 

Until more hard data become available, we can share some of the anecdotal reports from our communities, that social relationships and connections are impacted in positive ways when microdosing. 

Here are a few:

1. Increased Empathy

Microdosing psilocybin may enhance empathy and emotional intelligence, potentially leading to improved communication and deeper connections in social interactions. 

Our community has reported feeling more connected to others and being more understanding and compassionate.

2. Social Bonding 

Some individuals who microdose psilocybin claim to experience enhanced creativity and improved problem-solving abilities. 

These effects may contribute to more engaging and enjoyable social interactions, fostering a sense of connection and bonding with others.

3. Reduced Social Anxiety

Psilocybin has been studied for its potential therapeutic benefits in treating anxiety disorders, including social anxiety. 

While the research primarily focuses on full-dose psychedelic experiences, it’s possible that microdosing psilocybin could also alleviate social anxiety symptoms and promote more comfortable social interactions.

        4. Increased self-awareness and self-reflection

Increased introspection and self-reflection: Microdosing psilocybin may lead to heightened self-awareness and introspection, allowing individuals to gain insights into their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. 

This increased self-reflection might enable individuals to make positive changes in their social connections and dynamics.

5. Increased ability capacity patience and listening

Microdosing can feel very grounding and soothing. From this peaceful space, we have more bandwidth available to be patient with others, to listen, and to hear what is being said rather than focus on having a response ready. 

This alone can impact all of our relationships in powerful ways.

6. Reduced aggression 

A reduction in aggression not only affects our closest relationships but also complete strangers. Psilocybin appears to mitigate instances of road rage, work-related temper tantrums, and even conflict at home.

It’s crucial to approach microdosing psilocybin with humility, patience, and a lot of personal due diligence. In tandem with the growing interest in the psychedelic renaissance, anecdotal reports are pointing toward the long list of potential benefits.

We await more rigorous scientific research in all areas of microdosing, but until then, your stories are what fuels what scientific research is prioritized and executed.
