Do you hear voices that aren’t real? I.e. auditory hallucinations? Is that one of your symptoms in general?

Yes I do. But I asked my roommate in the hospital what people are saying about me and he said it to my face something people think of me then he acted like he was going to hit me

What he said may or may not have been real. People in psychiatric hospitals make stuff up while believing it’s true.

You and me both I heard people talking about me a year ago when I was in the store at a checkout line people can be cruel in judging others I know people judge me too but I just brush it off and try not to let it and them bother me yes it is real and yes it does happen and just because Im mentally ill doesnt make it not true my meds are working and I hardly ever get paranoid so its not that I just cant get people to believe me when I say I have been talked about smh

I use to be paranoid because everywhere I went I thought people would hurt me then something shifted and the fear of death left me now I go everywhere.

I hate when I’m suspicious and condemned and judge others. I mean people don’t really gossip about me as far as I know. They just leave me alone with my way I live my life. So I should give people more respect and just leave them alone also and not get personal with them.

Aren’t you guys lonely, does anyone show interest in the real person you are?
Does being on the forum alleviate symptoms? Because people actually care?

I know people care for me. And love me. At least that’s what they tell me. I mean this thread is about gossip. And this forum is a safe place for me to find care without gossip.

I am happy to hear that.
Why do you care about gossip. Doesn’t really affect me because I know who I am. People are entitled to their opinions. I see it just as a story in their head which does not correlate with the reality of my being

I’m not that concerned about gossip I don’t really take it personally. I mean I’m sure I do it too. I mean I don’t like to spread rumors. Or just distort something that is taken as a fact. There’s always going to be opinions about me. Pack some gossips even good. People talking about me so respectfully to others. It doesn’t really bother me. People praising me and saying all the good things I do. I mean there’s a lot of good gossip too.
