It’s a lovely day in the neighborhood…
It would make me feel conspicuous and watched. I think people would stay away and not be nice.

my mums neighbours know i think, actually think everyone does know about it where i am from.
there was a time when i thought some people where trying to turn them against me but luckily that didnt happen,
now i am in my own place and i know a good few people who know i have had mental illness but people here are very nice about it.
Might make others nicer to me. If they generally understood what schizophrenia is and why it can be so hard to maintain employment, they wouldn’t be so quick to judge me about not working.
I’m paranoid that someone who used to live in my apartment complex area would put some sort of weird substance on top of my external air conditioning unit and so the substance somehow would filter through in the air into my apartment. I believe that person (a stranger I never even met) wanted to do this to me on purpose just because I don’t work and he probably does work. I wound up getting a weird allergic reaction to whatever that substance was.
If people generally understood conditions like Sz, they wouldn’t be so quick to judge schizophrenics or severe mental illness.
I don’t think people care. I think that there’s a big stigma around mental illness especially the serious ones, and people don’t want to face it or deal with it.
It’s the worst thing that can happen to someone in my opinion(losing your wits). Most normal people don’t even want to know that we exist.
I once told the landlord in my pub about my dx. This means everyone now knows. I really don’t mind.
