I would like to be treated normal, but I’ve had to come to grips that I have limitations, and there’s no good pretending otherwise. So I guess I would like people to treat me as someone who has limitations, but not over do it. I don’t want to be treated as if I can’t do anything.
I want to be treated as a normal bloke, with the undertanding that i think, feel and act differently than the average joe. That normally only applies to social settings tho.
When i have to leave early from an engagement - dont ask me why and have a go, just let me get on with it - im managing my brain at the time.
That is a tough question part of me wants to be treated normally and part of me wants to be shown more compassion towards me because of mental illness but maybe that isn’t appropriate
I don’t know. Like if everyone treated me the same then there would be no variety. Sometimes what I appreciate the most about someone special to me is their rarity. If everyone was suddenly nice to me it might feel a bit weird. I think I’ll settle for non-violence. Treat me non-violently, but don’t sugarcoat your words. And hug me lots. Yeah. Lots of hugs.
Exactly @Zoe
This is how I want to be treated, but my brother doesn’t respect my boundaries or limitations.
This upsets me very much.
sorry to hear that @Wave
Thanks @Zoe 155
I like to be treated for who I am, a schizophrenic, so a bit of empathy for that.
I’d like it if people weren’t so quick to underestemate everything about me when I inevitably come to fairly illogical conclusions sometimes when trying to communicate with people. This deficit isn’t what defines me in my opinion, but it sure does for quite a few others.
i would probably let someone baby me if they did it with love and in a way i approve of and if its someone i know very well and love and know they love me.
but that is like one person or so.
otherwise i want to be treated well.
my sister and their family supress me and treat me as if they are sooooo superior than me.
they seemt o beleive in some hierarchy and that i am the lowest and they are the highest.
they are arrogant and bad behaved to me which makes me uncomfortable around them and makes me avoid them.
i seriously can not stand to be around people like that and avoid it.
my former stepmum is the only one out of them who does not treat me that way but treats me beautifully and with so much love and understanding.
the others dont love me but she does.
if she dies before me im fu cked.
i will perhaps be alone and unloved and have noone other than a family that supress me and think im lowest and they are superior.
there are many powercrazed people who behave badly and ego themselves around.
it is very unattractive to me.
i hope to find my people that will treat me right.
I like to have a thoughtful conversation in which both people’s interests are considered, and each person gets to bring up a topic. Both people get time to talk almost equally. And I like to be respected.
To be fair, I need to respect the person I am talking with too.
I just like to be treated with respect. I don’t like when people act over sympathetic or make a big deal of “if I’m feeling ok”
