Do you think the majority of people with sz or others have attitudes that just contribute for stigma? Do you try, in your life, to reduce your attitudes that contribute for stigma? How?

Im less social since schizophrenia but no ones noticed much because I wasnt very social to begin with just less social than I use to be. But I think thats a stigma about people with schizophrenia that they not social
I do my best to work against the stigma. I like to think I’ve changed some peoples views on schizophrenia. But its definitely an uphill battle

Is there a sz pride shirt? Is it by some organization? Or did you make it yourself?
