I’m stuck in my brothers house with a bunch of strangers.
I’m sitting alone in the living room while everyone else is eating and socializing.
I feel like crying but I don’t want anyone to see me.
This nice lady keeps asking me if I’m ok.
Ugh I hate being so anxious and antisocial.

Why am I so antisocial?
I honestly believe that I have SZA.
Everyone else is mingling laughing joking being outwardly social and all I want to do is hide under a rock!

You’d think some of the others would try to engage you in conversation. People can be clueless sometimes.
I hope you survive this nightmare social situation. I know what it’s like.

Yeah there are quite a few people that are approaching me and making conversation.
Including my brothers super nice girl friend.
I go and make attempts to walk into the kitchen from time to time but I’m really in no mood to socialize today.
More so than usual.

I have a cousin who is Bipolar and he is the life of the party, especially when he is in a high.
Another cousin also has Bipolar and he is very social.
On the other hand I am schizoaffective and quite shy. I would also imagine you are schizoaffective rather than Bipolar.

SZA is another one of my diagnoses.
I suspect that I have SZA but my current psychiatrist feels that I have bipolar.
Go figure.
My brothers gfs brother has bipolar and he was a social butterfly at the gathering.
I usually withdraw during get togethers.

I used to do that at some family gatherings. A couple of times I was talkative, though, and after that I think they were happy to let me be alone.

I can socialize with ppl but just a bit. Once I was in a nightclub with friends and one girl there told me to smile, she said I am giving her bad vibes lol

When ppl hug me I feel like crying for some reason. Maybe autism and sz have things in common like scientists say, they share lots of genetics.

This happened to me at my cousins wedding. I went back to the Airbnb. Now I take a prn before social situations like this and it helps me a bit
I do believe it’s the sza, but I think in my case I can remedy it with a prn
Hang in there tonight!
