"I think you can't do it."

Did you ever hear that going on in your head?

I’ve been thinking about what you said about schizophrenics being unable to love and I think there’s some truth to it. I think it’s at least very tough for us. I’m not sure I can do THAT.

I think it’s because love is a creative thing and my mind just doesn’t know what to do - so it sleeps.

I know I’m capable of love… don’t generalize people please…

I need to apologize. I was quoting a doctor about szs not loving.

That’s alright… I do think we feel more fragile, and that maybe is a factor for not being able to be as vulnerable with other people, we don’t really want others to feel our pains. But a lot of people here have love in their lives and have happy relationships… It’s possible.

i was constantly thinking that I cant do this or that. I try to distract myself now and to give me more courage… I couldn’t love at a time but we remain human so its possible one day I guess :slight_smile:

It’s easy for me to love another sz. Even if it’s not romantic. But it’s hard for me to suck up my ego when it comes to romance and being playful. I tend to symutaneously think I’m greater and less than people at the same time. That makes it hard to love. Just confusing. The Separation. Like I love my family but sometimes think it’s hard to express it. Like my dad was complaining a lot being in the hospital for 2 days meanwhile I’ve spent half a year in locked psych ward units. Idk I wouldn’t wish anything bad on him but wish he wouldn’t complain about being in the hospital when he’s around me …it’s a touchy subject

is it just the same people on here or what?

I can relate a lot to that. I’m really sweet with other people, I tend to protect everyone I know, but at the same time I feel exactly that that you described. Superiority/inferiority complex.

Sorry about that thing with your dad. I think you love him, that’s why you get mad at it.

So… not to go off topic. I think a lot of times that I won’t be able to do something, then I push myself to do it and it goes well. It’s a lesson I’ve learned a lot of times.

Is very easy for me to love people however I do get very suspicious especially when trust is broken. I believe in loving my neighbour as I do love myself.
