I used to but cut way down. I don’t get drunk at all anymore. Just 1 or 2 low avb drinks with friends and I don’t drive even if I had only 1 drink

I took the jab and I immediately lost all appetite. It was really easy to inject, it’s spring loaded or something. I was worried about having to use one of those classic syringes but that’s not how it’s designed.

Good afternoon. I am pissed off at myself for being grumpy and insensitive and being unintentionally disrespectful at a memorial service. Eating ice cream to cheer up. I am socially inadept!

Made a total dick of myself. But oh well.
Here’s why:
Social cognition refers to the mental processes that allow individuals to perceive, interpret, and respond to social information
Torosyan, 2017
. In schizophrenia, impairments in these processes are considered a core feature of the disorder and are closely linked to social dysfunction
Green, 2019
Torosyan, 2017
. Key domains of social cognition that are often affected include:
Emotion Perception: The ability to recognize and identify emotions in others, such as through facial expressions or tone of voice
Torosyan, 2017
.
Theory of Mind (ToM): The capacity to understand the mental states, intentions, and perspectives of others
Torosyan, 2017
. Deficits here can make it difficult to interpret social cues or understand why others behave in certain ways
Engelstad, 2019
.
Social Knowledge: Awareness of the rules, roles, and goals that govern social interactions
Torosyan, 2017
.
Attributional Style: How an individual interprets the causes of events or behaviors
Torosyan, 2017
.
Impact on Social Functioning
Deficits in these areas can manifest as difficulties in “real-world” social settings, contributing to social dysfunction
Torosyan, 2017
Kalin, 2015
. For example, difficulty reading social cues or understanding social norms can lead to challenges in social problem-solving and behavior
Torosyan, 2017
.
Research also highlights that these social cognitive impairments are distinct features of the disorder itself, rather than merely a byproduct of social isolation
Green, 2024
. Furthermore, these deficits are often associated with poor functional outcomes, including difficulties in community functioning and social relationships
Fett, 2011
Couture, 2006
.
Other Contributing Factors
While social cognitive deficits play a significant role, they are not the only factor influencing social outcomes. Research suggests that social dysfunction in schizophrenia is multifaceted and also influenced by:
Negative Symptoms: Symptoms such as reduced motivation (avolition) or diminished emotional expression can contribute to social impairment independent of social cognition
Kalin, 2015
.
Social Competence: The ability to apply social skills in a given situation is a separate but related factor that influences real-world social outcomes
Kalin, 2015
.
Current clinical approaches often focus on addressing these deficits through targeted interventions, such as social cognitive training and social skills training, which aim to improve social functioning and quality of life

Yeah I’m also agoraphobic. The less you do the worse it gets. I force myself to go out even though it causes anxiety.

Hey Mars. I’m ok, a bit down. Went to a memorial for my friends Mum who went missing. Didn’t act appropriately, didn’t feel any emotions so felt no compassion. Was embarrasing being there. Plus i heard peeple judging me.
It was awkward. Been binge eating since got back.
How are you Mars?

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes people can respond the opposite of what they want to feel at funerals.
I just got back from getting dinner. Feeling okay tonight.

Steak & Shake, IDK if they have them over there. I got a western bbq & bacon burger, a coke, a shake, and cheese fries. Probably takes a week off my life eating that.
