I think you’re doing just fine. If not overly critical of yourself. You’re a good guy. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You are a valued member of the forum. We like you here.

Yeah i appreciate seeing you around here too Aziz
I also notice that i became more terse and snappy with my speech and less polite since first experiencing psychotic symptoms a few months ago - my case manager thought it was anger but she didnt really understand, it was more impatience and tiredness than anger
i think for me, some of it is more impatience with not being able to remember as many words to make things sound extra polite (i would have to add “i would like that…” and so on).
and besides that sometimes i have short periods where i don’t speak in full sentences and i have some trouble understanding others at certain periods (like when people speak, i can’t focus on what they’re saying past 1-2 sentences and then i hear 1 in 5 words as sounds and not words)
Plus besides cognitives, negatives can make it hard to feel engaged with other people when theyre talking about what happened in their day

You have kindness. When I felt sad, I remember you kindly asking about that. That is nice and empathetic. You are worthwhile to have here.

I think you might be going through a rough decade. But your next decades could be better!
Like @anon63380492 @irrelevant said, just write your aunt a card of send her a text.

I think I have issues being empathetic because I’m so wrapped up in my own thoughts, completely self absorbed.
Anxiety made me emotionally unintelligent. So there’s that also.
When I was younger I struggled with being egocentric.
I was too immature for my age. I blame nobody but myself for that.
I wish I had better role models when growing up. I was lost.

What keeps you from it? Think you should call or send a personal card. You’ll feel better about yourself too.
Just put it on top of your to do list tomorrow.
