No one in my life wants to talk to me

My mother used to talk to me a lot, now she tries to end phone calls really quickly, and she avoids logging onto Facebook in the morning so I can see when she is awake.

I probably shouldn’t have been checking this anyway

My care coordinator didn’t bother to call me this week as promised.

The rest of my family never call me anymore.

I feel so alone in this world. My existence seems pointless.

Even though I have my issues with sz, gad and asd, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be able to talk to someone

I just had an argument with the local mental health line as the guy refused to answer my question of was he reading from a script.

don’t give up @Joker a lot of people don’t have as much time on their hands as us disabled folks…I used to get hurt a lot by that…I just listen to music and reach out with texts if I want to talk to anyone.

I am getting close. My parents are supposed to be here in two hours for breakfast, but I am not in the mood for part time support.

My main go to is also music, but I feel like an unwilling passenger in this farcical fiasco of a life

I sometimes feel that my nephews and my older sister are afraid of me

Try to be more pleasant on the phone,dont know if u are complainning we tend to hear less people who complaiining all the time.
or its what jukebox said !

I don’t know if I am doing this or not, but what I think you’re trying to say is I might be doing something wrong in how I talk to people and what the topic is.

Suppose my mother has just got tired of talking to me.

Still leaves me in the same position though

Fade i said that cause i dont listen much my sister cause she is growling all the time.
i still love here but i see a distance she seems she doesnt focus on the good things in life and she tends to negative ones.

scizophrenia is a jail" we must do everything we can to pass the time as best as we can for us and others.

it is serious when u say" no one wants too talk to me."
its either u or the rest but what the odds 1vs many, try to focus on good things and be cheerful, helpful,kind smile even and see if ull see a diferenece.

just an advice dont know your dificulties and your life.

People often don’t know what to say to people like us. They dread hearing bad news of us going back into psychosis.

My mom used to tell me I couldn’t go to church or hang out with the youth group. She was uncomfortable with my religious beliefs as they differ from hers.

I was emancipated at 16, but ended up maintaining a relationship with my mom. But I have to keep conversation on the positive side or she’ll lose interest.

I don’t know why your mom doesn’t talk to you much. It may be she feels bad about herself and it may not be about you at all.

When you see your mom, try to remain positive. I don’t think it’s your fault, but people like to be around positive thinkers. So try to remain positive around your mom.

Just remember you did nothing wrong. You can’t help being sick

I agree with this. I only talk to professionals about my mental health issues.

There’s no point in complaining to family as there’s nothing they can do and it only causes them distress because of that.

When people ask me how I’m doing I say “can’t complain”. Which is my in joke to myself. I’d like to complain but can’t.

My sister asked me to not call her anymore. That upset me. My calls with my mum and dad are usually under 5 minutes. So, I understand your pain.

Yeah. That is how we play the social script. If someone asks me how I’m doing I almost always say “just fine” or “not bad” when the truth is I could hold a seminar about my issues, but I guess so could many other people as well.

first things first …
if they don’t want to talk to you … don’t worry.
Stop giving them any importance :)( bad advice but it will work)
you have social media accounts then talk with your online frnds.
and most importantly keep yourself busy by doing something … so you will not even feel need to talk with someone.

My brother avoids me lately.
He ignores my texts.

Doesn’t talking to customers helps you? It helped me when I was working and isolated socially.

With Covid I don’t interact with customers unless there is a design change on an agreed job, or they bring out a coffee.

In a 9 hour day I probably interact with people for 10 mins.

This is good in a way, as in my office job I was in constant communication with other people, mainly dealing with stupid questions and trying to ‘firefight’ issues with data etc that idiots created and couldn’t fix themselves. I used to get into a lot of trouble for being blunt in my challenges back to these people.

Now I have the other extreme of minimal contact, but I think the benefits of this are much greater as I can get on with my work

I’ve experienced this too. I text with my aunt a lot. The minute I say anything about my symptoms she kinda just blows it off.

I spent years of my life playing online games. Completely out of practise now, and cannot concentrate long enough to play them.

To be honest, now I struggle with even a tv show that lasts more than 30mins

Yeah. I just avoid talking about it
