SZ people come from all walks of life, they’re not necessarily selfish.

I am a selfish piece of garbage but no one else on this site seems to be. I’m thinking most SZ are not like me and are generally pretty caring towards others.

First of all @bittercat you aren’t “a selfish piece of garbage” I refuse to believe that. You are a good person.
But to answer op nah I don’t think sz are anymore selfish than anybody else.

Sometimes I am selfish. Sometimes I am not. We all have our own balances of the two.

Selfish? No…self-centered? I think that often comes with mental illness, you get sucked into your own brain. With psychosis, your own reality even. You can’t help it, it isn’t intentional.

I’ve always been self centred and selfish. Just one of my personality traits. Don’t think it has to do with MI though.
In fact I feel that people with mental illness are generally more empathetic towards others. Maybe because they’ve experienced pain.
I’m actually very apathetic. Don’t see the point in caring much about others, since we are all born alone and alone we die. Might as well be my best friend and focus on myself since I have to live with myself for my entire life.
However I’m pretty unselfish online. On this forum I want to help as many of you as I can, I’m fond of the people here. Strange since I basically hate all of humanity most of the time.

I am not selfish. To be selfish I think you have to put yourself first. I hate myself and do not think I deserve to be first at anything.

My schizoaffective disorder consumes me. Getting better is a higher priority than anything else. I doubt I could ever be a parent. Maybe one day though, who knows.

Sometimes, i think karma gave me this illness. I was an â– â– â– â– â– â– â– before.

I have seen from the love being spread on this forum that most aren’t selfish. My sister has schizophrenia and she is one of the most unselfish people I know. I don’t believe I’m selfish, just reliant on my husband too much.

learning to share was definitely a thing for me as a child, I didn’t like to share toys or most of all food…so yes I was naturally selfish person who has been subverted by life into being more generous

I look at it like this…selfish people are all over. Just like any other human being, there are SZ’s who are selfish and SZ’s who aren’t.

Not selfish but maybe self absorbed.
