Happy for you if you have found peace.

Perhaps weed made you both more relaxed around people, which enabled you to make humour more easily. I've met people who thought they were hugely entertaining when high on cocaine but they weren't really. They were just high and full of themselves... they complained of lack of confidence when they ...

2 years and 4 months in and my extremely quick wit has just recently began to rear it's head but only slightly. Nothing of how I previously was with being able to leave a room in laughter and respond to quick banter. Real shame really. I don't know your backstory but I started smoking at 16 and con...

Life seems unfair. Just gotta be a soldier and keep going forward.

Hi there Indeed there have been about 4-5 occasions where I took a toke of a friend's joint. I'm not trying to defend it but it was always between 1-3 tokes. Anyways for the first 6 months of my quit I was completely clean. Brain healing is a process, I doubt a few tokes would have set me back a lon...

I'm quit smoking everyday in November 2017...
I don't feel anywhere close to where I wanted to be ... Oh well... Hopefully things improve lol

Hey man just do you know, I totally get the lack of emotion thing. It's like the main thing holding me back. I too feel like I'm damaged for life and will not heal like the other people who recover on this forum. I also started smoking at a very young age as well. Have you noticed that when people t...

Exact same situation dude Social anxiety Inability to experiance emotions Minor 'constantly low' depression I don't think this is paws. I think it's closely related to structural and subsequently functional changes in our brain which developed as a result of smoking heavily while the brain was still...

I feel ya man I've gone about 13 months barring two slip ups The social anxiety bothers me the least.it used to be moderate and would negatively affect me all the time, but now it only bothers me occasionally. The lack of emotion is the real killer because it affects every aspect of life from social...

I've been clean for 12 months now bar a single slip up.

I also hate being emotionless lol.

I also feel emotionally numb and unable to form emotional connections with other humans. It is also difficult for me to derive pleasure from 'enjoyable' activities. This happened to me after smoking weed everyday for years.

I too have friends but I only enjoy maybe 10% of socialising. Sometimes I do genuinely laugh, but very rarely. So for you, do you think it's got worse over the last 3 years? Have you seen any increase in emotional capacity or expression or being spontaneous? Any increase in social skills? Any increa...

Yeah my emotional intelligence was significantly affected in a negative manner compared to my academic intelligence... Even while I was smoking weed I still scored high on exams and got top marks at university then did a masters degree and got good marks again. Now I work a demanding and stressful j...

I wouldn't say mine has got worse It was much worse when I was high and better when I am sober It goes down a bit when I am with friends. I also don't know if medication mbis an answer but I do know that it is important to try stuff to solve a problem Do you exercise? I remember when I used to jog i...
