Can we expect anyone to understand that has no clue what it feels like?

I got a 16.5% raise on Dec 1 of last year after getting a 4% raise in February of the same year. I hope I continue to confuse my employer.

Yes, as a whole, generally speaking we are misunderstood

The biggest misconception is that SZ people = sociopaths (prone towards violence)

I don’t think SZ makes me special.

I don’t think it gives me special insights.

I certainly don’t think it’s a gift.

Neither do I feel it is a curse.

It just is. I’m grateful I didn’t get something worse.

I don’t feel misunderstood by society.

I don’t feel wronged by society.

I occasionally feel a bit of stigma, but things have improved.

I’m just a person with good and bad things going on.

Like everyone else.

Including the people without mental illness.

I think girls on dating apps misunderstand me. Or when I tell someone I have schizoaffective they act very strange. But once they talk to me and see I’m pretty much normal they don’t think anything of it.

Society hates us and wants us gone, but I just think it’s just a thing and for me it doesn’t matter.

I have strong paranoia and delusions that contribute to my thoughts toward society, and from previous trauma. Sometimes I think they want us to hate ourselves because they want us to feel bad about ourselves.
