I don't have sz, just a disorder that includes psychosis, but I question certain aspects of it. Who's to say reality is a universal, uniform perception? Seriously, what looks like blue to me could look completely different to you, but we both call it blue. Reality is subjective. Generally, the way we perceive others is totally through our own lenses. We constantly attribute thoughts and feelings to people and those thoughts and emotions come from OUR brains, not theirs.
Then again, at least for now while I'm treating my disorder, I'm more functional. I think. As an actor/musician, I'd love to go off my meds and become a shooting star of creativity, but there's always the downside to that.

Underneath this skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
