Yes. I feel lonely. When I got schizophrenia I ended up moving back home with my parents. It’s nice to have a caring family. But I miss being social with people my age. Like playing pool or video games. Or just hangin out watching sports. I left all of my friends to move home. Now it’s just me and my parents. Doesn’t help I don’t do anything to meet people. Between schizophrenia and anxiety I have trouble talking to new people.

I want to be around people and friends but I have social anxiety caging me up on my own.
It’s like I’m a zoo animal, out of my natural habitat, due to circumstances

Man, that was so poetic what I just said, sleepoptimistic would have liked it.
I can never be pleased. Yes i get lonely - and crave company. But usually if i have someone here for more than a few hours, i get pissed off and want them to leave. Mind you - some of the company i keep isnt exactly the type of person you would introduce to your mother lol.
Yes, I get very lonely as I am of the mindset that who would want to be friends with me, being a Schizoaffective. Thankfully I have a Support Worker twice a week who is great company.

I think the same thing. I’m having trouble believing my friend really wants to be friends with me.

I don’t like being around people. I am not social at all specially because most people are narrow minded. When I find someone not narrow minded I like to conversate and learn, absorve new concepts. I like being alone thou. I can’t stand banalities or cheap talk. I don’t feel lonely, I feel like nobody cares about me but I know this comes from my sz. The maximum I can stand talking to someone is 30 minutes to one hour. After that I end the conversation.
