Do people IRL react weird when you're on this site?

I mean do they know something is up? Like roommates or neighbors or people passing by your window? I often feel that just reading the word schizophrenia all over this site makes me put out some kind of weird vibe that people pick up on. They don’t know exactly what it but they know something weird is going on.

They might react weird if you painted schizophrenia all over the walls but not for using this site.

One time I was checking this forum at the Co-op by my house and then I noticed a guy who works there behind me where I was sitting and eating and I was hoping he didn’t notice schizophrenia dot com at the top.

I react weird to some of these posts on this site. Some of you are truly complicated.

At subconscious level people might pick up some vibes. But they have no acces to that level.
I read the forum on a crowded bus as I do not care. They do not care either.

Aw shucks, I’m just a simple country boy.

i seriously think it should be a closed group.

not fair to those of us that struggle with this. lets petition admins!

doubt thats going to happen. Would you have even found this site if it was a closed/private forum? I know I viewed the public forum for awhile before signing up and posting, like I think most people do. Leaving it public allows people to see the topics and want to join and respond. There would be a lot fewer new members if they had to sign up before viewing.

I get strange looks when I browse the site. Maybe I should stop using my projector to display it on the side of a large building downtown later at night.

(Large print is easier to read, ok?)

I know when I was over at my friend’s the other day I moved the app from my home screen so they wouldn’t be in my business.

I ask this question myself. I go to the local café spot and sometimes use my laptop there(the only device im logged in), i see people walk by and not say a thing, I even had people sit on the table behind me and… nada. Most times, if I’m lucky I pick a spot thats in the corner. But the times people had the opportunity to see me on this site, they never said, looked or asked me what this site is.

I feel somewhat conscious when I am on this site and there are people around me. But have not got questions from people why I am on this site and what it is. Only very few can understand I guess.

I don’t get online when I’m out in public. Something I did learn recently is not to tell anyone that’s not close to me that I have schizophrenia. Some lady went around and told some neighbors. She didn’t last long where I live though. Some people can’t follow rules apparently. I’m a little miffed about it.

I can’t really go anywhere without sunglasses my disguise

My partner doesn’t know I’m on this site. I need a safe place to say anything I want.
