After getting to know someone for a while and feeling they either deserve to know or whatever, and I tell them I have SZ, the immediate change in demeanor and attitude brings me down. I can see their thoughts no longer on the same level as what it was just moments before. Very serious facial expressions, deep in sidethoughts away from our conversation… It hurts. You can explain so muvh, but in the end it comes down to what they’ve been taught about the subject that rules their thoughts on the matter.

Sometimes it is better left unsaid. That’s just the way people are.
Yeah I agree. I’m not telling too many more if any at all. It just reaffirms my bitterness directed at the ignorance of humankind. (Broad spectrum blanket terminology. There are many great individuals out there but as a whole, humans dissapoint)

Yea this right here is why I’m not telling people I have schizophrenia anymore, the people that know I have schizophrenia treat me completely different then the people that don’t know I have it.

I usually get the worst from my family. Other people who I tell seem to have no problem with it.

My sisters won’t talk to me about it. It’s like they ignore it or they don’t want to catch it by talking about it.
I wish I could share my experiences with them, they might be able to give me some insight or help me in some way.
Since telling my biological father, his attitude toward me has totally changed. He never used to call me, forgot birthdays and such and was basically just absent from my life.
Since telling him I have schizophrenia, he has called me at least once a fortnight and is trying to learn more about it. It’s nice.
