Do you find it is hard to get close to people in a relationship sense. I always find that I feel alone and it is hard to communicate what I really feel and think.
I was always too numb to feel physical needs. I’m a little more sensitive to people (and animals) now and find it’s a very real need to be physically close. But, one can’t fake it too well if the feelings are gone.
I do find it difficult to get close to people. I always feel like they are going to find out who the real me is and not like it. So instead of trying, I isolate myself from others.
Ive been with my partner for 7 years and Ive gotten used to expressing myself and being close I think with time you adjust
Never get close anymore, for that matter other than work, alone 99% of the time.
I JUST DONT DO IT …most people are degenerates that have nothing to compliment my life anyways…but hey im a psychotic maniac …so …ya know.
I had somebody tell me one time that Schizophrenia prevents a person from getting close to another person. I think there is something to that. I have always felt alone.
I appreciate all the responses.
When I am in an intimate relationship there is one thing I learned: A woman/man can be your salvation, it is true now and it was true when I first discovered it. But it is essential that you drop your guard; No pretences to yourself about how you are sufficient to yourself, and don’t need anyone, because it is way too simplistic. As people we do need love, camaraderie, kindness and affection. [quote=“Breeze, post:1, topic:57718”]

underneath it all they are probably thinking the same. You don’t always have to fill the silence of not knowing what to say with words.

the inner turmoil experienced prevents me having/showing feelings to others sadly this includes my 10 yr old son, so i do what was taught in treatment and act as if all ok.
Unwanted, intrusive inappropriate thoughts come at me wavelike, however occasionally a good news story will touch me ever so slightly. My heart not 100% bad then
Its hard to get close to anyone as the illness dominates ego-like and i manifest behaviour patterns which appear to affect others negatively
My boy breaks through this imaginary barrier and plonks himself on my lap from time to time(regardless of my state of mind) bless him
yea im too apathetic. it kills me inside
I have a hard time being close with just my family.
Making friends or a relationship is just not even an option, right now.
