Maybe by being a bit more of a forgiving person.

Cos then even if I assume they think I’m an idiot at least if I forgive by default, then I can be less hostile lol?

Yeh I think you’re correct.

I am a mute quite a bit irl.

That’s wat I’m like. I find it so hard to like or even love certain, that I’d rather assume they are judging me incorrectly and forgive them to like them rather than like or love them directly…

I don’t know how to like or love some ppl due to fear of being let down badly.

This above idea seems my only solution atm but not sure it’s appropriate

I mean to forgive for any potential inaccurate judgments or arrogance etc…

Yeh yeh I know I’m not perfect either :blush:

If someone calls you hostile, deny it and punch them in the nose.

I can tell when someone doesn’t like me and my tone becomes a little unfriendly. I want to change this too.

I raise my voice and speak over people when I get hostile. This is when I think a person or people are disrespectful to me. I take a stand on an issue that I think is irresponsible or something. I can become very condemning internally. This is a lot of times when things don’t make sense to me. When I see how I would do things differently. When I see things as hypocrisy. When I am being judged I will become very judgmental of others. I ask myself what is the purpose of the conflict. What is causing me to oppose or stop something. Very frustrating with people I love and want to have fun with. What responsibilities are my loved ones putting on me that I would never put on them. I love these people and it always ends up being a situation that helps me grow with them. Helps me mature as a person more. Besides myself and money they are all I have at the moment.

Loving kindness meditation can help maybe. I used to be very hostile and closed off couple years before schizo diagnosis. I started being more friendly, understanding and open after doing that.

Although I got psychosis weeks after starting LKM, my psychologist said it was just a coinsidence, to be honest I’m not sure.

edit: i know i kind of contradicted myself… be careful with any kind of meditation, although if on meds I doubt something extreme will happen

Idk Zoe… It’s been hard for me to become less aggressive. Something just switched in my brain and I don’t get upset as much anymore but we probably are dealing with different situations
