Half my life is over

Hmmm, I’ve worked and worked and worked. I’ve worked most of my life while having paranoid schizophrenia.I’ve held many jobs. Or maybe they held me, I’m not really sure.

Maybe now is the time to quit and become a full-fledged human person and just live and enjoy my life and enjoy other people and be happy. I’m just toying withe idea. But if I can do something as hard as being employed may be I can conquer schizophrenia and become a well-rounded, nice person who enjoys life to the fullest and maybe help other people along the way. I’ve already made great strides in getting my sense of humor back. My curiosity about people and the world around me is growing.

Sorry, but i have to be negative here for a second
I don’t want to be negative but I also have appropriate ability to scare people a little if they mess with me. It’s all bluff because I can’t really defend myself because of my bad back. But bluffing works pretty well and I guess if it came right down to it, I think I have a chance of knocking someone out or hurting them because I think I could throw one punch before they hurt me or kill me. End of negativity. Thank you, Elvis has left the building.

Anyways, my long dormant ability to get angry is back after a 40 year hiatus so that’s good. I’m also more interested in women than I was even as a teenager! I am able to laugh too. And feel feelings. AND I can think pretty clearly too. Hmmm. I’ll have to ponder my next move.

Never too late to live!
I do the same as you, in regards to “scaring people”. Sometimes I do it unintentionally, but at times when I feel I might be threatened, I feel safe because of my ability to look like someone you don’t want to mess with. I don’t think that’s negative.

Your negativity wasn’t so negative at all. You have ever right to “use the rattlesnack approach,” so to speak. Otherwise you seem optimistic, keep fighting for your happiness.

Even if a rattlesnack was non-venomous, his foes wouldn’t consider that when they hear his rattler shaking.

And I’ll bet you’ve still got some venom left in you.

my next move my next move I’ve already made great strides in getting my sense of humor back. maybe buy stock in movie wrights… and get revenge on the actor who Stoll your interested in women .

Self defense is almost always bluster. The art of fighting without fighting is a great skill to have. I never want to harm anyone. But I will scare the hell out of someone if they dare threaten me. The hillbilly will arise and I do declare that it’s time to crack skulls. I’ve never really done that - but I did break a guys nose once because he was actually attacking me. He backed off in a hurry, bleeding profusely.

I quit my job recently, and now I’m bored as hell. Unemployment is not all it’s cracked up to be.
