Is it normal that as an adult that I still know right from wrong, even when I am psychotic? It’s just my brain is much more developed, I did not know right from wrong when I was delusional at the 15, and even as an adult, I sometimes am delusional.

Kids learn right from wrong by observing the environment and by getting punished. Conditioning.

I think it is innate for most humans to be born with some level of empathy.
Right from wrong changes from generation to generation. It’s what the group says is right from wrong.
You can be delusional and still know what society/civilization you yourself expects of you.
I’m barely making sense. Sorry if I don’t.

Yes I think part of it is genetic as some kids never learn to respect the law and end up being criminals.

Yeah I think it’s nature and nurture. True.

It’s a good indication that you’re a sociopath. I still manage to not to break laws or get violent when delusional.

It is just that some people say that you can’t be legally sane and have psychosis at the same time, but my psychotic episodes that I sometimes have is mild. I can live in two different realities, one is reality and the other are hallucinations and delusions and I can still be aware that I am seriously mentally ill with a history if developmental delay.
I think that people should be educated that unless you have severe psychosis, you can still be legally sane, and even be aware of your health.
If I think people around me are out to get me, my reaction can lead to the police being called on me. But I’m not trying to hurt anyone.

I have voices. Right now. They’re telling me they’ve identified me and are going to kill me if I don’t do certain things, some of which would get me in trouble. I know the voices aren’t real and I’m ignoring them. I’m going to take in my recycling, get my COVID booster, and then shop for some vittles.

I did some antisocial things throughout my childhood, such as sometimes repeatability getting into fights with peers, making death threats with scissors and was paranoid, had anger management problems, had delusion of grandeur and argued with others, because I thought I was always right. I was also odd and eccentric, and sometimes would consistently get in trouble from breaking some social norms, and I did not understand some social norms.
I had anger issues since sz 10yrs ago up until 2 months ago. They disappeared.

That’s what therapy is for.
Seems sensible to me. I got in trouble in grade eight because a notorious school bully from grade seven rode his bicycle in front of a vehicle and wound up in under it. It was no great loss to society. Guy had pig mean eyes. I got in @#$% for pointing it out and commenting that this was actually a win.
I have had to learn which ones to break and which ones to observe. I find some social norms inconvenient, but failure to adhere to them causes greater inconvenience.
It would help if you participated in other communications. You only talk about yourself. That gets old.

I did commit a felony once when I was severely psychotic. I had a profound delusion that the corrupted military police was going after me and and a computer broadcast hallucinations all high school students and teachers fearing for their life and I got so scared and wanted to run away, but teachers got in my way and I threw tables at them so they get out of my way.
I was suspended from school until I started to feel much better, it was in 2016.
I am here, because I sometimes have hallucinations and delusions.
Yes, I know. You’ve told us repeatedly.
If you want to get along better with others try talking more with them and less at them.
