Hi...I have schizoaffecive, not schizophrenia, but I thought I might post here because the schizoaffective boards are a lot less active.

I seem to want to be around people but when I am around them I am more paranoid and have more problems than when I'm just by myself. Which is lonely and frustrating.

I'm just wondering if any of you have a similar problem. Thanks.

I am schizoaffective too and this is where I post. The other section is dead.
I look forward to being with people but once I am I feel a mess. Days like today I don't want to see anyone. That's how I feel most often. Being with other people is exhausting.

I have schizoaffective disorder too and post here because it's more active. I know exactly how you feel. I just got home from school. While I was waiting on the bus, I was looking around at people laughing and everything and it just confuses me how they're not paranoid. Maybe they're meant to be "normal" so they'll make us seem "crazy"

It's nice when someone knows how you feel. I truly wish I could be uninhibited and not paranoid! I had a taste of that this past year but I'm having some problems now.
Thanks for this!

Same here. I wish I wasn't a hermit. Most people wouldn't even guess because I'm only 24 and have bright pink hair. The pink hair seems to intimidate people away even more than my "resting ***** face".

I'm so lonely. I only have one girl friend that I have here who I have out with and the guy I'm dating. Other than that, it's me and my room. I can't talk to people at school.

I'm always more paranoid when I'm around people for long. For this reason and several others, I keep to myself.
Thanks for this!
