Sometimes I am paranoid of my friends and think that they’re laughing at me behind my back bcz I am in bed all day everyday. How can I verify that its true?
Sometimes my paranoia and doubt makes me get argumentative and angry with them for no reason. I made fun of two friends because I knew more about computers than them. I just think that everyone should think like I think. How do I change that?

I think my empathy is low and I have no or little emotions other than anger and physical pain.
In my teens I was a little paranoid about the way people were behind my back. I remember asking my girlfriend about how people were when I wasn’t there. I thought they had deeper conversations. I dealt with a little depersonalization which I beat eventually.

Did this go away with meds or on its own? I think I have residual symptoms. Maybe they wont go away even if I increase my meds dose.
There is no sure way to know whether they do or not, asking won’t get them to tell you the truth. When I feel like friends are talking behind my back I just take it as it is and realize no one will like me or see me the way I see me, and that is fine until they disrespect me in front of my face… About your empathy, I’m sorry to hear.

Not with meds but on it’s own. I used to feel very “out of it” or far away in my mind which made socializing difficult at times. It eventually just stopped happening. The last time I felt it significantly was when I started reading again in the hospital which makes me think maybe I was just too “in my own head” back then. It’s nice not to feel that way anymore. It used to suck. It began when I was like 16 and ended at some point in my 30’s. I don’t know how.
I used to take Effexor for it which helped but then I’d develop a tolerance to it and it would come back. Ended up not being able to come off it because of “electric shock syndrome” which was in the list of side effects believe it or not.

When I had a gf she said that a small devil is in me. I dont undersand and never though about that. Sometimes I laugh in funerals or when ppl get hurt. Is this normal?
I’m really paranoid about one of my friends. It’s really messing with my head. I feel like she’s out to get me and that she’s reporting me to people. It’s very frustrating

Do you think that ppl want to harm or make fun of you? Sometimes I feel like that.

I used to think people were talking behind my back when I was younger. Now that I’m diagnosed sz I’m less paranoid.

What was your reason to feel like that? My reason is that I am not like them bcz I stay in bed all day everyday.
I feel like she wants to do bad things to me. And she wants to report on me.

When you feel like anxious, paranoid etc best strategy is to avoid people. Not interact with people till your anxiety and other hyper sensitive feelings get reduced.
yea i had paranoia about friends too. Like people talking behind my back. I still do get it occasionally but it’s much better these days
