I have history of childhood abuse and have experienced emotionally traumatizing experiences and have suffered mentally much of it,I had injuries to my self-esteem and self image…so I was curious to know do all our us have a similar history?..my symptoms began when I was around 14yrs old I was in 6th grade…I was finally diagnosed after finishing my college with rosarch test
Generalities are bad man… they undermine the complexity of the human being…
A lot of us do… a lot of us don’t…

I think only a small minority of people who develop schizophrenia have a history of childhood abuse. It is just one type of stress that people experience that seems to increase risk of schizophrenia. There are many contributing factors in the development of schizophrenia - from many pregnancy factors (poor nutrition, flu and other infections during pregnancy, etc.) head trauma / accidents, street drug use, etc.

When I was in sixth grade my “friend” saw my ■■■■■ and told the whole grade I had a small ■■■■■. Some kid said “you’re never gonna get married now”. Then I went through puberty and I’m above average but still somewhat insecure about ■■■■■ size. Does that count as emotional abuse? I’ve had other bad experiences too but thought that was bad.
By its very nature its fair to say that people with sz handle stress poorly , I think it could also be fair to say , that poor coping mechanisms are a general feature, for the vast majority of prediagnosed persons. So stress regardless, is, going to be a very prominent feature for a sz, throught out his/her life…

I too am above average length ‘down there’.
Er…4.5 inches is average, right?

I think women fall in love with the guy first. If he has a big knob well, that’s just a bonus.
And women only care if it’s really, really big…or really, really small.

I’d like to take this opportunity to brag about my endowment but don’t feel comfortable saying it to a guy 
I’ve read lots of things about ■■■■■ size and know it’s overrated to most girls and means not much…but even if average is 6 I’m well above it.
I’m just a little bit insecure about it cuz of the above experience in childhood… I have a damaged “ego” cuz of it I believe which is part of the reason for my “dark personality” I feel
I’m 7.5 on the dot…I’ve posted my ■■■■■ on Craigslist…it’s big enough for guys to offer me money to give me head 
but not big enough for girls to care
Take care
But I’m a grower not a show-er

I used to be a big time narcissist as a result of my abuse. Okay we’ve steered off topic a little
For me… Sz is in the family… I have an Uncle on my Dad’s side who’s living through this as well… so genetics put the light switch in me
My entire life I’ve sort of been on the edge of reality… but diagnosed with OCD… ADHD… PTSD…
Then age 15… my favorite older cousin introduced me to the wide world of XTC… LSD… Pot and Whiskey… and other drugs…
That turned the switch on full tilt.
As far as childhood abuse…
My parents have never laid a hand on any of my siblings or I. They also have never really yelled at us… Child abuse from family didn’t happen.
Bullying in school… stuff like that… did happen a bit.
i was abused sexually when i was 6. the guy didnt penetrate me but masturbated infront of me… i still struggle with this,i couldn touche the guys penises till my 25-s… my father was beating my mom and my sister… we have schizos i think in his family also… and i am in treatment since 5 years and still dont feel fine. i was somebody dead when i hit in psychiatry,honestly ,lots of delusions,completely derealizated and here i am still paranoid 
Child abuse doesn’t cause it. We are born destined to become scz. It’s a neurodevelopmental disorder like autism.
Child abuse doesn’t help, I was abused too.
It can make it worse or make it happen earlier, but it won’t just up and cause true schizophrenia.
