Kratom makes you extra NICE?

[brave777]

I realized friends and those who i know who take it, are extremely nice at all times. Sometimes to nice and agree with something with you they use to disagree on. Must be the feel good part? I also noticed big changes in people who take kratom, way to friendly to others, sometimes others can use them for this reason.... It is very hard to piss you off no matter what but if someone cant stop pissing you off, you will reach a limit to blow off on them. But in general you can take a lot of shit and still be nice and reasonable. what's ya'll opinions and experiences that you have noticed? does it make you take in more shit? are you extra nicer? are willing to go the extra mile to help a friend?

Yes it makes me a nicer person to those that don’t deserve it, I have family that are assholes, for instance I have a cousin that back in late January stole about twelve kilos from me, he’s got a problem so if you’ve been around people like that you know what I mean, so I try to help him out gave a few doses to take when he’s not feeling to hot, big mistake in my part, but well anyway to make a long story short I went looking for him for like three days on the third day after I cooled off a bit I decided to let it go he just isn’t welcomed any more I still don’t know what I will do if I see him I got lucky I had a bag with about 200 hundred grams to get me through for a few dayz but if I would not of had that to calm me down a bit shit I better stop here I’m getting a little heated lol let’s just say he would have gotten a Proper beating so much for family well most of my cousins are dip shits the rest of my family are loving

That would be the dopamine at work. I sometimes get that, but a lot of times I get the opposite. This is common for me (and others) which IIRC some people call "Opiate Anger". I become short-fused and a bit hard to deal with. I seem to notice this happening with faster strains more. It also seems to happen more when I am dosing daily as opposed to every few days.

I'm definitely in this category. I don't know if I get mean or anything but I do get a really short temper if someone is being rude. The worst is when my partner is drinking because he tends to say things that are mean spirited (not abusive or anything, he just takes certain jokes a little too far) and when I'm on kratom, it seems to really get under my skin. I mean, this exact scenario is pretty rare in my house as we're not always just drunk and high, haha, but when all the pieces are in place, I definitely notice the anger.

I don't think I'm "extra" nice. I'm a bit of a cynic and a pessimist, but I know what brings out the best in me so I try to find those people/places when possible. For the past few years, basically, it's been all about pain, discomfort, fear and disappointment. The last one is on me but I can only stand so much physical (and emotional) pain before the world goes very dark and loses every little bit of joy. It's hard to be nice when the pain is unrelenting. So, yes absolutely; I'm much nicer when I get some relief - and kratom gives me that, Bless it. I'm also nicer to myself, which is always a good way to start, I think.

It really is true what they say, "You don't know what 'it' is like until you experience it." I had no idea what living in pain was like. None. Now I can look back and think of the grumpy people I've encountered, and I know that a person can only 'rise above' so much. Hell yes they were grouchy, impatient, probably depressed. The way this country treats folks in pain is an abomination. I'm grateful that I was led to this place before taking steps toward pain relief that might have gotten me into serious trouble. I hope to god I never have to do that.

Kratom is a mighty gift and, for me, proof that the Universe is benevolent (despite the millions of douchebags who enjoy making others suffer).

I agree with you Greyfeather, about how people with chronic and constant pain are treated. The government has made our doctors scared and unable to prescribe as they see fit for fear of losing their license. I’m lucky to have a great empathetic rheumatologist who is very open minded. (He also has psoriatic arthritis like I do, so that’s a plus)

Just to be clear - I don’t use pharmaceutical pain drugs at the same time I take Kratom. I try to use the Kratom for pain unless I need more pain relief.

I’ve definitely noticed what you’re talking about—in myself and others. I think it partially has to do with decreased testosterone levels. Also, for me at least, I don’t feel as affected by things typically. (I can be on one side of the spectrum or the other though. See: other thread.) But yeah, without dancing around it, there’s a certain emotional blunting that comes with Kratom and it makes it easier to just roll with shit.

I'm glad you have a great rheumatologist. I saw mine yesterday. She asked me briefly about pain but didn't really want to hear an answer. She said once that she "isn't allowed to prescribe pain meds" and I think that's a load of BS.

When I burn real top shelf Kratom my whole being and persona becomes all sweetness and light. It makes me sweet, tolerant and forgiving. I find myself letting little aggravations slide. I find myself more able to put myself in the other persons shoes.
