Or bad? How good your friends were when you was in school or before sz
All my friends were bad
Maybe not all but half or more

I think most people are just out for themselves. Looking after their own interests. “Friends” just means that you’ve got some use to them.
As schizophrenics we don’t have much and so don’t have many, if any friends.
In summary: So called friends just use each other anyway.

It’s true. Let’s switch it around. How many of your friends did you dump when you got married?

just one, but we were involved and she was very jealous and would have been toxic for my new relationship. She was turning out to be a toxic friend as it was. She was very high maintenance.

I’m just no longer in denial spooky. That’s all.
Spooky, I have negative symptoms, but they are starting to subside since I’ve changed my attitude. I was always a bit hot headed, didn’t know when to accept defeat.
The secret is to fight until you die. You might not win every battle, but you will still be much happier just because you fight.
Be a fighter, Spook!!

We got around. Did occasional larceny, cut school as often as possible, smoked tons of pot and worked out with weights. We were pretty close and had a lot of fun. They used to gang up on me sometimes and make me feel bad. When we were getting along life was great. When we were mad at each life was hell.
Friends are just enemies who like you.
My friends pre SZ were a bunch of jerks, but I was also a drug user and alcoholic at that time. Things are a lot better now that I’m clean, sober, and taking meds.
One friend use to try to make me paranoid. Unless it was just my paranoia. Lol.
I’m bad at making friends, but I always try to “first, do no harm.” And if I can, I try to benefit people’s lives. Coffee and a ride someplace won’t win a Nobel prize but it might really help someone.
