They always are staring at me when I acting strangely and they never want to talk to me. I don’t know they are trying to harm me why but they definitely are. i need to get away from them otherwise they get me what should i do

I don’t know but i’m pretty sure they are I see them talking about me and that’s probably what they’re talking about
I am sure they are not talking about you. Sometimes if u are self conscious you send this body language to others. They may pick up on it and act in relation to your body language. So they are not talking about you just mirroring body language. You are ok. Deep breaths.

Well, I often feel the same way. I just feel the same way, I can brush off feelings.
I think you should try reading some books, memoirs by people with schizophrenia so that you can find out that what you are experiencing is not unique to you. I suggest reading The Center Cannot Hold. It’s my favorite.
Well, I can tell you that I often feel the same way and that I deal with it by taking meds and learning more and more about the mind and brain- I study psychology in university.
maybe im not on meds because i know not for sure it sz btw sry if im confusing my speech has been getting more and mroe messed up

I practice mindfulness when I get anxious. Close ur eyes and take deep breath and ask your self what you feel(fingers then toes), where are you ? What do u smell. It grounds you in the moment and stops the thoughts for a chance to refocus on something else.

no one hates you…that is rubbish
no one is plotting to hurt you…also rubbish.
take a deep breath…you are safe.
now look at the top of the 
computer screen …you are on a sz site…
which means you are mentally ill 
…which means…
your grip on reality is distorted…which means…
you see threats 
where there are none…you percieve life differently due to a distorted view point…due to you not being able to apply ’ logic ’ to fundamentally simple situations.
i care…remember that…and have been where you are now 
trust me it is rubbish.
take care

I don’t think ur schoolmates are trying to harm u. They might be looking at u but not plotting to harm u. Hope that puts u at ease. I thought everyone at my high school was plotting to pull some elaborate prank on me to make myself miserable and u know what happened i made myself miserable from just the thought. Dont let it get to u too much. And people don’t hate u they are just curious some may actually be concerned. Do u see a therapist or take meds. Also since u play music i would play music for people in school. They’ll think its super cool if u start jamming on a guitar or something in school. And u listen to the dope music so u could definitely play some killer tunes

I know everybody here is trying to be positive and what everybody says makes sense. BUT… there might be some truth to what you say. If you act strangely people will look at you. They either look at you they may just glance at you or they may stare. It’s unfortunate if they are rude and stare. But that’s how people are.
On the other hand there is a chance that you reading people wrong and misinterpeting their behavior or actions. I can’t tell you from such a short post, as to how much you are imagining and how much is real. Are you talking about strangers, or classmates or people you know? People fear what they don’t understand.
I don’t know if they are trying to harm you or not. That may be true or not, just be careful. Be aware of your surroundings, be careful where you go and who you hang out with. You don’t need to be paranoid but just show a little caution. There are people in this world who take advantage of young people, or take advantage of people who are obviously troubled.
But hey, this world is not all doom and gloom despite us having this disease. No one is plotting against you, no one means you deliberate harm unless you antagonize them. But unfortunately, if you act weird you may attract attention. I’m not saying you’re a bad guy or anything but you got unlucky when you became schizophrenic and it’s a real disease that you have to deal with on top of all life’s other problems that everybody has to deal with.

I believed that the whole world hated me forever. I mean forever. Until I moved into this place. That is, this extended care facility that I live in now. Where I am surrounded by a bunch of 82- 104 year old’s. I am almost 56 years old, and it is very sad that I have to surround myself with the very elderly in order to feel emotionally safe and comfortable. And, I have always been like this. When I was a very young woman, in my early 20’s, I worked with the geriatric population, as an RN, because they were the only group of people that did not make me paranoid. I don’t know why. And my sister was the same way as me. So, we always worked in geriatric hospitals and nursing homes. But, don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I am very happy here. I have lots of acquaintances and activities, and plenty of quiet. Which is what I wanted. And the food is great, which is very important to me.
Idk. my goal isn’t to make friends. I honestly would hate that more than anything. But they are definitely plotting against me and they probably all know that I am mentally ill and trying to take advantage of it. @77nick77 I don’t antagonize people but they definitely hate me because of how strange I am and everyone people I know, peers, and random strangers are all plotting and probably working together to follow me, hurt me, and make my life horrible. I don’t know why but I’m just certain of it.
It’s a paranoid delusion to think people are plotting against you. The average person whether it’s a friend or a stranger does not sit around plotting against a 13 year old kid. Some people may hate you but not everybody does. No one is going to waste time plotting against someone who is probably not causing any trouble except in movies or books. I probably can’t convince you of this but it’s the truth. You need help, can’t you talk to your parents about this?
Yes they know. so does my therapist and a few people i am around sometimes (i don’t call friends i don’t have those) but i only have sessions once a week and he wants to get to bottom of it but that is hard when only an hour per week.
I would just say to co-operate with your doctor and your parents. Schizophrenia is the most serious mental illness there is. It takes a lot of work and effort to manage it and live with it and to keep the symptoms under control.
Those thoughts are only going to harm urself. U cant give a damn about the other kids just be u. Who gives a ■■■■ about some other high schoolers who are probably just judgemental assholes. Ignore them and be u. Ur in a really difficult point in life. High school can be the most stressful time socially for anyone. But i assure u no one is trying to do u harm. Just ignore the assholes and be u. Though @77nick77 makes a good point that people can be jerks in school, dont expect anything but just be aware that high schoolers are jerks. Just ignore them though. No harm will come to u if u ignore the jerks. Im sorry man i wish i had better advice but high school is a tough one. Ull be ok though dont worry about these other people.
