I have unusual beliefs and I think the one area where they interfere with my life is relationships.
I don’t seem to be interested in normies. I believe my unusual beliefs and so don’t have anything in common with normies as a result.
Do your unusual beliefs interfere with your life, if so, how?
I’m on enough haldol to take care of mine, but before then they made me happier usually. I had grandiose delusions, not paranoid ones.
I accept the concept of “normies” even if it’s a little derogatory. Some people live an extraordinarily simple life with very common problems, and can’t understand people who deviate just a little to common standards of living and thinking.
The good thing is - I think there are approximately just as many deviants as normies. The boundaries are blurred… so - just thinking - i don’t quite know if the concept makes sense after all. Anyway it’s very easy to find people who accept you, and your deviant way of thinking.
But if I meet a prototypical normie I can recognize him or her. No doubt.
。°。°。°。°。° yes, managing daily life is a struggle — can’t even think long term.
I have unusual beliefs that the U.S. will be destroyed by earthquakes because I watched some YouTube videos of a so called prophet saying that would happen. It makes me not want to work or really do anything because I feel like what’s the point if it could all end any time now?
They interfere with my life
With causing me a great deal of worry, anxiety, fear, panic sometimes
Its difficult to concentrate on anything
I have intrusive thoughts especially difficult
Relationships are stressful
I’m very introverted and have withdrawn from anything so called normal
I feel my comfort zone is staying in most of the time
Stress etc has taken a big toll on my brain over the years and i get stressed so easily now
I can control my unusual believes with meds but not my emotional symptoms I act on them during an episode all of it is turned inwards though I think it is better so if not I would be in the psych ward since a long time ago.
I have found that I am spending more and more time alone and enjoy it
I just brew some tea and watch television
I treat myself to Ben n Jerry’s and sushi (VERY important)
I think about my life and childhood as best I can
I am stuck in the mindset of things like falling over and dropping dead at any time
My best advice is live every day like it could be your last, but don’t do anything crazy (like drugs)
I been told they ate delusions but they do. I been in a struggle to find some friendship in the community, which i refuse to he a part of because im so paranoid. As much as i try i find it hard but you shouldnt be so hard on yourself i think your emotions and feelings are very valid, and i suggest you take it slowly. Much love @everhopeful
I’ve crossed that bridge. It’s everyday life that tries to interfere with my unusual beliefs.
I strongly agree with the original message of this thread. My unusual beliefs delusions override my opinions on politics, religion, aesthetics and mundane mannerisms.
Much like some people who write long essays in this section, I have complex systems in mind. Most of them I tried to explain to others at some point or another. Most people don’t care, almost noone understands any of it.
Something to be expected by others, is mute horror to me. Like piles of garbage or meat markets. Something that I called out for a decade at this point, like torture, rape and war, is sudden and terrifying to others. But to me it just my predictions and warnings finally ringing true.
Even after I became almost sane and reduced my delusions to 1/100 of what it was, still just having a conversation is torture to me.
Yes they do… very much they do. Not sure what sanity actually is, though… life is pretty weird, even normally considered people do strange things.
Yes. I’m afraid to go places without my husband. I’m being followed
Yes i realise i can’t live in a 08-15 relationship. I have a disturbed resume to get a job and getting ripped off having a job. I can’t get on with coworkers. My unusual beliefs make me a clown for the circus.
My thought broadcasting delusion has made it hard for me to be around people. I tend to prefer to have my groceries delivered. It is hard to imagine a career in which I have to work with people. I have given up tennis for a few years now. I ruminate and can’t be fully productive. I am afraid of listening to the radio or watching T.V. although I watch YouTube.
A lot of conventional people freak me out and seem extremely sociopathic to me. It’s hard to find someone you can trust.
Yes they do interrupt my life and I have to try and readjust my thinking.
Sometimes I get paranoid about getting hurt.
I tell myself I have no harmful intent towards anyone so why would they.
I don’t know how else to combat this paranoia that sometimes comes into my mind.
I cant be home alone with my back turned.
I always need somebody to be watching out for me so that if the evil forces decide to rise up, I wont be caught offguard physically. Spiritually the good forces have my back but not being able to do anything physical means I cant do dishes, shave, or anything else alone where my attention may be temporarily diverted. Its very harrowing. There could be a battle at any moment and because I am the Lords herald I have to be on alert and watchful constantly in order to further fulfill my destiny.
Yes, they took over every aspect of life.
My trumanomatrix interferes.
I’m paranoid and suspicious of people,
I have grandiose ideas, which place me
outside of this world
