How do I stop caring

About people talking about me? I am slightly psychotic again because everywhere I go I hear people talking about me. I feel so weak mentally and it bothers me I had a miserable trip to the grocery store today

Are you self conscious? Social anxiety? Stop caring is essentially what you gotta do. Ignore the existence of everyone at a deep level, so you believe they are not relevant.

Honestly I thought my voices were talking to people for a long time. And it made me hide out.

But you gotta have some balls and confront it in my experience you can’t let what other people think matter to you.

Be good and trust yourself.

Then nobody can say sh it

I understand you bro. Sometimes I feel like you that people gossip about me. But I’ve learned not to care and so can you. The feeling of people gossip about you will become much less as you are ageing. So there is hope.

I experience the same. Sometimes I feel good until I actually get out in the world and realize how messed up I am. Day treatment helps the most when I’m a day person and make it. I’ve been couped up to long. Idk what to do other than my day program.

I think people who couldn’t accomplish much, try to make other people miserable.

Yes, my dad is like that

His company went bankrupt, he didn’t like school so he didn’t go to university and envy his brothers’ accomplishment (one is engineer, the other worked for the navy) so he tries to dismiss other people accomplishment (once I was proud of my language learning and he started to say “You didn’t learn this language, neither this language” while saying language I would never learn), he’s obese and has a complex about that so he criticizes overweight people and people with belly fat (he dared criticize me because I took weight even though I’m still thin), he’s ugly and has a complex about that so he criticizes people beauty

He doesn’t like when people seem happy and try to put them down(I remember a couple of times I was laughing alone and he started to say “Stop laughing like a moron”)

People are weird. I haven’t accomplished much since SZ but I don’t get mad about it. I’m happy for those who accomplish things. I used to accomplish a lot and felt good so I’m happy for those who accomplish things and feel good about them.

If you think people are watching you. Just look up and look around. Most people are on their phones. I used to sit in a crowded restaurant and stare at a blank phone screen lol. When you go to Walmart you’ll notice most people aren’t talking. Of course the antipsychotics distract me so much I don’t see them.
