I’m so amazing and perfect but nobody else at my school can live with that fact. Does anybody else feel like they are superior even thinking that the thoughts they have or hallucinations to have our actual and it making them smarter and better and more perfect than a cooler and everybody loves me
Uh, no. I might be in multiple honors programs and have a very high GPA but I am not delusional about it, it actually exists. Being popular is good, sure, being able to socialize well is a good thing, but it sounds like you may have some grandiose delusional thinking.

Mr Mortimer the mouse we appreciate your continued efforts to give advice. So what do you talk about when you’re not talking about your mental illness
I would be careful talking that way in public. It doesn’t bother me, but some people might get angry and retaliate. You could end up catching hell.

Hey mac maybe you are bi-polar and right now you are at a upswing? My illness makes me feel exactly opposite I stay inside by myself because I know people wouldn’t like me.

yeah may be bipolar. But I’ve definitely think I was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia I’ve never heard of voice outside of my own and I’ve never had a hallucination so I don’t understand where the doctor was coming from I’m sorry if I offended anybody I don’t I definitely understand what it means to hurt someone else and I’m sorry if I offended you all and I can’t take it back but I have changed but I definitely made a mistake going to that Psychiatry she told me something that was untrue and I still don’t believe it but now it’s hanging over my head everything that happened to me this past year is hanging over my head now kind of annoyingthis is my last post
Well, I talk about all sorts of things- music, movies, working out, psychology, school, philosophy, writing, psychology, psychology, nutrition, powerlifting, bodybuilding, martial arts, whatever- on here I talk about mental illness because this is a schizophrenia forum and the overall topic is schizophrenia. That’s a little redundant now isn’t it?
I try to downplay my accomplishments in real life because I don’t want to appear as a braggart or supercilious.

You’ll learn to not feel that way. Sounds like your young still you’ve got time to find humility. I’d just keep it to yourself man. I used to feel pretty cool and capable, never the coolest, but I can relate to what your saying. Then I had a full blown psychosis. It kind of puts you in your place
You can have sz without hallucinations or voices. It’s not really split brained to be grandiose or a little delusional, but man it seem like if it’s not depression or mood problems it’s considered sz. Which shows how primitive diagnosis can be.
You probably won’t feel the way you do in a couple years. You get into the real world and it’s no longer a popularity contest.
Stupid what our culture does to the youths sociosphere.
Good luck man.
The classic pattern of delusions in paranoid schizophrenia is grandiose followed by persecutory, I might add. I mean I might be functionally recovered but I have the illness and that is both what I experience and the textbook progression. I mean look at John Nash’s progression, that’s what it was like for him.
However you could have a mood disorder.
I myself do not think I am the greatest, I am just narcissistic to a degree but do not have the personality disorder. I use “the royal we” meaning I often say “we took honors world civilization” for example, referring to myself as “we” is narcissistic. Or it’s a schizophrenia joke. You decide!
no but I wish I did LOL
