Don’t you fear responsibility?
Do you tolerate others? Do you hallucinate in work? Do you have problem in learning instructions and in following them or remembering them? I do
No, Italy. They may be stupid or intelligent. Or both. It’s pretty random, I guess. Or it depends on patient’s personality? Maybe

I don’t really worry to much about responsibility, Im very stable dont have voices paranoia or delusions, other than the fact I am more reserved than before and dont have intense emotions anymore you wouldnt say I have schizophrenia. I think my negative symptoms are more from the meds than the illness.

So this makes them intelligent?
I’m glad you have no symptoms. Today I almost have no symptoms, except a few voices, and the permanent delusions
Thats good, still think my delusions are real but I get on with life, its not often I think about my delusions. Theyre not a fixation, more a belief than a delusion. Almost like a new found religion.

I think so because they are convincing. Since they stem from your mind they are an expert on all your strenghts and weaknesses, which makes it hard to beat them.

It was difficult. I studied from 2007 to 2010.
I had cognitive and negative symptoms since then. The positives came 2 and a half years ago in 2017.
Could it be prodromal phase if it happened 10 years ago? I don’t think so

Some colleges here have masters on clinical psychology. I like it, but I have no money

In my college years, we had a group therapy. The professor suggested that we should buy a book about psychoanalysis. When I bought it, I saw that each personality type is defined by its defense mechanisms it uses the most.
There, in that book I found the definition of schizoid personality. It contained schizotypal traits too. I found a great description of my self in there.
@Om_Sadasiva wow I guess you did find your answers
If you spent 90% of the time focusing on school, work @Om_Sadasiva instead of hallucinations and delusions and staying inside your head, I think you could do anything. You could probably get that masters or something someday.

I started studying psychology as a way to combat my abuser so I could debunk lies she was telling about me and my condition.
But also I found it fascinating and so now someday I hope to be a psychologist.
Yeah I understand that. I have a bachelor in neuroscience based psychology.
