Loneliness!

Hey guys, i read somewhere that people who suffer from schizophrenia are the loneliest of the lonely, thoughts?

I always have my parents.
The question whether I can acquire other allies, depends on my level of functioning.

A black dot on the wall can be so entertaining, when you are lonely.

Loneliness is good for me, however I do try to take care of myself as much as I possibly can without completely sinking into hell (hell is usually a side effect for staying a lone for too long).

I actually do find peace when being alone. My symptoms usually subsides at some level and I can work on some kind of recovery in my own time. Loneliness is the least amount of inadequacies that I’m faced with.

I suffer from loneliness almost every day. Sometimes I just want to die. I hate being alone. I do have a couple of people that I can call when it gets to tough.

I’m lucky to be schizoid, I could live in solitary confinement without any issue.

I live here with other people in the house of my father. But I tend to not join their company. They are just drinking alcohol everyday until they zone out. And they yell a lot. Even if I’m the whole day at my room not talking to somebody, I never feel lonely.

I want my old life back…I used to be so social in college (High school in USA terms)

I’ve been awfully lonely before. I was the most lonely when I was at school. I’d be surrounded by 20,000 people and not have said a word to one of them for a whole day.

I was living alone and had a social life. Then I had a crisis and my family took me to my aunt’s where I’ve been living with her brother and my cousin, but they sometimes take my stuff, so now I’m considering going back to living alone. I wonder if this will be bad for me since I also work over the internet.

I’m was in a children’s home. I know loneliness. Supported living is my saviour.

I can’t decide if it’s my life-long mental (sk)illness besides sz, or sz in the past 10 years that’s making me more isolated, and the last few months memory problems because of the goddamn lockdown, but things are not getting better cognitively or socially.

I was alone a lot as a kid, had friends but mostly alone. It’s not a big change for me with sz to be alone. I do appreciate this forum to have some connections at a distance. Plus I can’t talk to myself with people around lol.

Schizophrenia can definitely be pretty alienating at times.

I think a lot of schizophrenics want a lot of friends but the paranoia makes things difficult.

I’ve learned to enjoy my own company. I kinda live in my own rad world of movies, music, and comic books.

I do still get a little lonely once in a while though.
