I pass as normal most of the time but have that eccentric air about me. Most people look past my little eccentricities when I start whipping out the big vocabulary and medical terminology…like “frequent mastication leads to longer eructations”, which sounds dirty but means frequent eating makes longer belches. Then they just think I’m weird but not sick…unless they see the old cut/burn scars on my arms.

Same here. I wrote a book about my past and when people who know me casually read it, they are shocked by my history…but like Anna, people who know me well can definitely tell something is wrong.
My mum says i do not come across as normal .
She thinks I have Aspergers and refuses the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Apparently it is noticeable that something is not so normal about me.
Even when I try.
I can possibly do well for shorter time but depending on who etc…
My boyfriend has visitors right now and I just can not sit with them right now.
I have strange beliefs his cousin is looking like his x.
I can not keep up with their conversation.
I think all his friends and family want power of me but I do not approve of that.
I have others in my body and body starts twitching and I go mute and feel uncomfortable.
I had to withdraw and am in bed .
I think my bf may of given them a explanation.
I will have to sit with them through dinner unless I eat it in bed but I want to be polite.
I have been attacked by people .
It makes me feel lonely and sad.
I do not have friends but I would be friends with some but not all .
I say wierd things and body moves strange at times and it is difficult.
I think I can pull of as normal for a short period of time but others disagree.
As a child I was a total outcast lonesome weirdo .
A few years I was just surviving and my eons were in other bodies and my body was pretty empty and painful .
I hated being a child it hurt and no one understood or cared.
I was always wierd and different and never fit in.
Have you considered family therapy?
I can fit in to normal when I’m thin. When I’m fat I stick out like a sore thumb. When I’m thin I get nicer looks from people.
I’ve been in customer audits with heads of security of fortune 500s. Either they know (doubt it entirely) or the perfectly paranoid design. I’m usually only called unusual for putting up with my brother as well as I do, he’s a real piece of …
…just like everyone else.

that’s what I meant…
I can pass as normal as long as I don’t have to talk to someone for very long.
But sometimes I do weird things in public like dance, and then I catch myself. My Mom calls it my “dancy feet”.
And then sometimes I laugh at inappropriate times, laughing at what the voices are saying to me.
Same with me. After awhile people sense I’m a bit “off”. Fortunately I have awesome family and friends.

I can do a bang up job acting “normal” til I ask those around me, “do you hear THAT?” lol
In full psychotic mode, I hallucinate orbs, multi dimensional geometric shapes (of which I feel I can control, as they are produced by my hands- even in the dark), sacred geometry, and critters in my periphery. My husband is a saint. I tell him I can’t believe he can’t SEE them lol. Then there is constant background noise, often music, that only I can hear.
Took me forever to get dx correctly and I didn’t receive my dx til my 40s. All along I thought I was “normal” lol. The turning point was when I started seeing and conversing with people who weren’t there and when I thought Russians were intercepting my phone and laptop.

@Thanna how have you been? I haven’t seen anything from you for a while, but then I only read certain threads here and there.

Not really, although people at work seem to be warming up to my weirdness.

This makes me wonder. I had all these beliefs in the past but because I could be normal for short periods of time and when my cousin was visiting me we had a good laugh so they thought I was lying I think.

Blending in a melting pot of people is fairly easy, don’t you think? Embrace yourself ish; accept your idiosyncrasies and funny quirks of character. You are unique and that’s all really that matters.
