I'm thinking about trying shrooms for the first time, I just want to know if it's okay to try for the first time alone or not?

I love and very much prefer tripping alone, but then again, my first time was about 35 years ago. I would not recommend you to be a alone for a first trip. Talk to someone who you trust, a friend who won't make fun of you and who won't try to prank you. I mention this since people often try their first dose at an age where that kind of thing sometimes happens.

Start with a low dose, less than 1 gram.

Try a tea maybe, the chitin of the mushroom walls is not really digestable and some people find it upsets their stomach (although the active ingredients do also play a role in that, so that can't be fully avoided I suppose). Peppermint and ginger can help. If you later find it doesn't bother you, feel free to eat the mushrooms whole, but why make things complicated the first time, right.

Overall, relax, let things come to you, and enjoy.
