I often laugh at something sad or for no reason.
Meds didn’t help with this.
I find this annoying bcz ppl think I am crazy.
I behave exactly the same way as her even with meds, apathy, no ambition, no initiative and no plans for the future:

I’m thinking she’s a victim of a pedophile. Her little girl voice and mannerisms.
Once I laughed at my dr gp, he got mad and asked me if I was laughing at him. I didn’t answer. It puts me in bad situations.
It’s a very common SZ symptom, and even more common in Schizotypal PD. I do the same, but often it’s because i’m sad too or otherwise affected psychological and don’t know how to react.
But i really try to control it among other people, because they can be really annoyed.
Yea my gp dr and my parents get mad bcz they think I laugh at them.

I guess you tell them you are not, otherwise show them the diagnose criteria from a website.
I often use things from the web to tell my family about my situation:
Inappropriate Affect
People with disorganized schizophrenia exhibit flat affect, which means that they show little or no emotions in their facial expressions, voice tone, or mannerisms. At times they exhibit affect that is inappropriate to the situation, such as laughing at something sad.13. feb. 2018

I agree with @PinCushion. She seems broken from past abuse. She feels safe and doesn’t want to go home, maybe because she was abused there. She also talks like a child as if she was broken in childhood and never recovered

Not necessarily, her family dumped her bcz she was useless and a waste of money like myself. I am lucky that my family didn’t dump me yet but I feel its soon and I will end up in the streets. My mom keep telling me to go live in the hospital, that I am useless and that I am a waste of money and time.
I’m sorry your mom treats you that way. It must hurt deeply

Its normal because I can’t work, can’t help in the house, can’t live on my own on disability bcz I will never bath and take care of myself. Its normal and I am really useless. My brothers both work, help in the house and even buy house stuff and gifts for my mother. I am also more annoying and needy than my brothers.

You could try doing little things like bathing and taking care of your bedroom. That would go a long way

Its the power of habit. Just like you are salve of bad habits you can also become slave of good habits. If you look at normal people you can see most of the activities they do daily are habits like going to bed and wake at same time, eating food at correct times, bathing regularly etc etc. If they disrupt the habit even for few days they too can become lazy to follow daily activities. So what I want to tell is don’t blame the illness for everything. There is always room for improvement if try.
I wish I could stop blaming the illness but it seems its the thing to blame. My psychiatrist approves me and wrote on my report: sz with negative symptoms, apathy and avolition.
How you able to eat food, sleep etc and also bath after several days? You not feel like to do due to the illness and still do it anyway because there is no other choice. And does this without any kind of motivation. My suggestion is why not try other things in life just like this without the need of any kind of motivation.
I am successfully able to bath once every week. I consider this a good achievement.
Me too was like that, but recently I forced myself to bath every two days and now it become a new habit and bathing every 2 days not feel so hard.
I use this same trick to all most every needed thing. The idea is to force yourself to create a new habit and follow it daily. For bathing you can set either twice, thrice a week etc. For workout can set twice a week etc according to your wish. The most important thing is to follow them without fail.
lol
when I had my psychiatrist meetings at the hospital I used to laugh same with some other important times, idk why these things happen, I think it is excitement mixed with nervousness
