I am just cos now not only do I worry which I did before psychosis, but I also worry about worrying.

Psychosis relapse risk.

There’s a pattern I noticed with that.

Do you know why you are more antisocial now

I think because I have less to say because I’m not as quick mentally as I used to be and it just makes me uncomfortable being put in the position of making conversation.

I don’t have the wit to keep up with the friendly banter I may encounter on the street. I’m not necessarily antisocial but I’m definitely not a people person. I need massive amounts of time alone to recharge.

The idea of having to converse is mentally draining to me.

I think I am now. It wasn’t always that way. I tend to be the quiet person at gatherings now.

I dont even know to interact with people.
I some times feel is others who are harsh or I am too sensitive to others.

Definitely for me. I can’t say multiple sentences in a row. I can only really say short bursts of words in conversation lately, and rely on the other person or people to do most of the speaking. This causes huge amounts of anxiety while around people I don’t know very well. One example of a situation I absolutely hate is sitting at a table with a few people having a meal. Sounds like such a simple thing to do but not for me.

It’s not that I’m against socializing, sometimes I’m just not good at it.

I’ll love to be more social, but my paranoia is a real obstacle. That and the fact that people seem to frequently bad mouth other people behind their backs, so I start to wonder if they’re doing that to me too.

The biggest turn off is that many people complained about their problems, and I listened to them for hours without being judgy (I let them sort things out for themselves), but when I’m going through a hard time, they’ve got some excuse to get off the phone… :laughing: Maybe I had bad luck with the wrong set of people, or maybe people in general tend to want to be supported more than they’re willing to be the supporter. And my favourite excuse for them is that they just don’t know what to say to someone with my condition.

I’m just very introvert. You could call it antisocial if you want to. It just takes me a lot of energy to socialize and that’s why I often forfeit social occasions.

More a-social. I can usually only deal with the public when when ive had a drink. And as i dont drink anymore i stay indoors 24/7, with the odd trip to the corner shop.

Its all anxiety and paranoia. I could go out more if i pushed myself, but its easier to stay in the safety of my flat.
