Contrary to how I seem on the forum… I can pass off as “normal”.
Well apart from look anxious most the time.
I think it maybe because on the forum I do not think much before I write.
In reality, I think before I speak.
they don’t know what I am REALLY thinking

I don’t think I can pass as normal. I look normal, but if a person watches me for any amount of time that person knows something is wrong.

I’ve always been able to pass as normal to most people. Even when I was psychotic.

I was on benefits for five years, so I was only able to pass as normal on a superficial/social level.

I think my mouth has no filter and I end up raving about the government especially in the past not so much now. I his how I thought I was dead last year pretty well but I made limited contact with people at the time so it was easier to have the facade. However I think they could tell something wasn’t right.
In short bursts- maybe. Anything longer and I think people begin to see I’m a little 'off ’

No I can’t pass off as normal, there’s definitely something different about me. I probably come off as bitchy when I’m just trying to keep it together when my anxiety starts going. I’m not a bitch , I’m nervous.

I can pass as normal, but I would be the first to admit I’m weird

That sounds horrible. But, I do pass as normal much of the time… If someone talks to me for more than a minute or two, I run out of normal things to say and the expression on their face changes from friendly to uncomfortable. That’s my cue to walk away…

Well my positive symptoms are gone so I guess I do seem quite normal. My boyfriend doesn’t even know about the schizophrenia.

I think I do a pretty good job of hiding my illness when I’m in public and passing myself off as normal. If people could see how I am in private, however, they would know there is something wrong with me. I think I mostly keep my weirdness in check when I am out and about. I did once have a student write in an evaluation of me that, “he’s a little weird, but that’s ok.” Maybe when people are around me, hearing me speak for extended periods of time the weirdness comes out more than I realize.

For the most part. Sometimes I’m a little strange.
We’re all strange though it’s a strange strange world

I can pass as normal, but I think that’s mostly because I don’t ever do things for very long. I’m never around people for more than a few minutes here or there.

Mos def.
Until the first thing pisses me off.
Then I start unloading suspicions and trying to fight.
Fracturing that “normal” veneer.
And by “fracturing” I, of course, mean “shatter into oblivion”.
On bad days, I don’t go out, so you wouldn’t see me in desperate need of a shower, talking to myself, demanding hidden camera footage.

Normal people spend their time trying to be different and individuals, something that makes them different from the crowd.
