My dad is schizophrenic
The story
My dad has schizophrenia. Ever since childhood it has been my insecurity. One day when I was in class 1 my dad randomly can to my friend and started saying random shit to him and it scared him. I am used to this behavior but many people don't know what schizophrenia is . Similar incidents like this has happened all through my life . Now I am in class 12 and nothing has changed,. This creates negavity in my mind. I feel like people's attitude towards me changes when they come to know about my family situation.

i can totally relate to what you're going through; it's tough when people don't get what schizophrenia really is and just judge based on what they see. i remember this one time my uncle did something out of the ordinary, and the whole neighborhood started treating me like i was some kind of weirdo because of it. it kinda sucks how people have these reactions without even trying to understand the situation. it's like, "come on, folks, ever heard of 'don't judge a book by its cover?'" i get that it's frustrating and that the negativity can pile up when everyone's got their opinions. sometimes you wish folks would just chill out and be a bit more open-minded. but hey, at least we're not alone in this. we've got each other and those who truly get it. you know what they say, "a friend in need is a friend indeed." maybe it's about finding those who actually care to stick with you when things get rough. keep your head up 🙂
Yes, people start judging u and treating u like u r a weirdo. ( not directly, but they just kinda start ignoring you) . Then it becomes difficult to be social and start conversation with people . This is one of the reasons I never invited my friends to my home . Because I don't want them ignore me . Although I think if I explain them about the situation they would understand but I am also scared that if they don't understand it will be difficult to talk to them without awkwardness.
But I feel better that I am not alone in this. There are people with similar experiences
i can see where you're coming from, but i'd suggest reconsidering how societal perspectives on schizophrenia impact interpersonal dynamics. it's true that the stigma around mental health persists, but i've seen shifts toward more acceptance and understanding. :)
