Relationships are just hassle, especially with this disease. You’re not missing out on much.

I’m married. Happily. My husband loves me the way I am. That means someone out there will look past your imperfections and love you too.
Try joining things you like and getting to know people. You might meet someone that way.

You are worthy. There is someone out there for you, but finding them might take some work.

I can understand that. Been there. But a lot of it has to do with self confidence. And that can be hard to find when having a debilitating disease like we do. It’s easy to forget that a lot of other people have things in their life that impair them. This disease can teach us to look past other peoples challenges and accept them. Just like others would accept you.
Although I know I have a challenge in schizoprenia I’m confident in myself. It wasn’t always like that, but I started seeing life in a different way with age.

I worry about this too. You’re not alone. Here’s to hoping we both find that special someone.

Someone is waiting for you out there somewhere.
I have to tell myself this too, for I really feel the same way a lot of the time.
I also have to remember I’m really not out in the world to often so i have to remember that.

Socratic thought can help maybe. Lol.
I gave up a long time ago.
People on the internet say wait it will happen but I’m 38 now and if it hasn’t happened yet it never will.

I have accepted that I am going to die alone. I am too stupid, shy, ugly and socially inept. I say I don’t care but my mind still cares.
Same—although I don’t have the social skills for them anyway. Also, doesn’t help that basically the living embodiment of the “undead.”
We can hate ourselves for out imperfections and assume other people will hate us for the same reasons. Did you ever work to get along with someone you just can’t stand? My best friend in college, I didn’t like him at first. But that was a defense. I mean, the men weren’t exactly beating down the door to get to me. I should have really been grateful, but I wasn’t. Our disease is a twister.

My sentiments exactly. I’ve gotten reports of some really bad relationships.
