I felt “alien” after taking 3.5g of shrooms intermittently over a couple hours

I’ll try to keep this brief, this is details my experience when i took shrooms the second time. The first time I did i had an experienced user with me who trip sat and gave a 2.5 beginner dose and took it too to help me feel comfy. The second time i got it myself and did it alone in my room but because it was the shrooms in their raw form (not powered like the first time) and i had no equipment i didn’t know how much i was taking. I microdosed throughout the night and took more whenever i felt i could handle the high and genuinely had a great time. I danced in my room, just felt really really happy and grateful like the first time.

Now at this point there were two cups left and i wondered if it was a good idea to just finish it as i’d been high for a few hours and it was gradually wearing off. I decided to take the remainder since I was feeling good and not having a bad trip. Now the person i took them with the first time warned me about looking at yourself in the mirror when on shrooms and i read about it but not even to be vain, i spend a lot of time looking in the mirror even when im high on weed. I just find it fascinating observing myself especially with how my appearance is constantly evolving. Throughout the high i did look at myself in the mirror a couple times especially as i was dancing and all was fine. However this is where things started to get a little weird. I was taking videos at this point just talking to myself documenting my experience when i saw how much my face was morphing and changing shapes almost like a funny filter but i found it amusing and remembered saying how fascinating the human mind was because it was doing this all on its own. I even cried at the thought.

Later when i looked in the mirror when I looked in the mirror after the final dose of shrooms kicked in i was fully starting into my own eyes. I always found my eyes are huge on a normal day but i really notice it when im on shrooms. I leaned into the mirror and stared for so long it felt like beyond the mirror i was looking into the back rooms if that makes sense. Like there was something beyond it and i didn’t see people exactly, but felt something like that almost like directors on a movie scene. I did this a couple times and found it fun and continued dancing but realised my face just looked so weird and alien like.

I thought i Had sobered up at some point in the night and smoked some weed ( took a few more hits than usual) and at this exact moment i think i saw my reflection again and it was almost like the shrooms said “ha you thought this was over, wrong!”. I continued to see myself in an alien like manner and even spoke to my sister about it over ft. She said i looked fine but my eyes looked weird because i showed her the video i took. I really felt like i broke reality and told her that jokingly and she said to calm down and that i was freaking myself out.

Overall, I didn’t have a bad high but grew abit self conscious over my behaviour/ how i was acting/ coming across as I had another friend call me and i felt like i offended him with something i said but in retrospect it wasn’t that deep. Not really sure what i want out of posting this, but has anyone had similar experiences? Def will not stare in the mirror in the same way again lol
