I mean when I get psychotic I’ve often felt like the center of the world. I’ve had a delusion where I thought I was famous and everyone was talking about me, and a delusion where I thought I was the only real person, that it’s my universe. But maybe that’s just my type of sz, so sorry if I’m assuming all ppl with sz have bigger egos, if that even is the case for some of us. Not that it’s necessarily an inherently bad trait anyway though.
What do you think?
That’s a good point. Delusions of grandeur is a symptom but not everyone has it though.
Argument could be made that paranoia is related to narcissism, as it places the paranoiac at the center of Ill will, ridicule, scrutiny, conspiracy etc. that are obviously not real, as the paranoiac is just a relatively normal person who would not warrant that level of observation.
Mine is only turkey-sized.
I used to have a way bigger ego before I was diagnosed with schizophrenia
Leggo my ego.,…,
I think psychosis and coming back down to reality really sorted that out for me. I’m lucky I found this place and realised there’s a lot of others who experience similar. It’s not really special. It’s a brain disorder.
If you are someone everyone is out to get you must be a pretty important person. If you are very evil people play close attention to you. I think the most painful feeling is that you don’t matter. That’s why you need friends.
I think I’m special, like a diamond in the mud. Lol…
