Does anyone else here accidentally piss off others?
I can be feeling perfectly fine and having a good day, but then people will constantly ask: “Are you okay?” “Why do you look like that?” “Why are you so mad”
Now see, I don’t mind people checking on me, but it seems like I unintentionally make somone mad or uncomfortable because I apparently come off as an huge ■■■■■■■.
I can’t help that i don’t always want to talk in a higher pitched enthusiastic tone all the time.
I sure as hell don’t want to smile 24/7 like these neurotypicals.
In short: How have you accidentally made people upset because of your SZ? Is it as constant for you guys as it seems to be for me???
I think we become distracted and focused on just trying to survive our symptoms, that we come off to other people as certain ways. On my bad days, my husband will say to me, “I am not the enemy” simply because I am irritable and easily worked up.
My husband seems to be in a constant state of soothing me even when I don’t think I need soothing. I get “are you ok” a lot from other people. I’m just trying to get from one moment to the next, sometimes not so gracefully it would seem. But I honestly think I look upset more often then I actually am, maybe they read the flat affect wrong???
