Oh I’m sure that’s not true. I bet it just seems that way in the moment. You don’t seem selfish to me.

Is there any particular reason you think that?

I find that very relatable. My schiz um sensory stuff, kind of “requires” me to have certain conditions? On my person, or in the room I’m in? Having a very selfish feeling, to write that, and it’s true.

I can become irritable, or too overwhelmed to speak, or have to lay on the floor, or something else weird or mildly-to-really inconvenient for people around me. I mess up a lot and I’m forgiven a lot.

Also I don’t consider how much my moods affect my parents enough, to be honest, often, until my mom is overloaded on despondent/dramatic/Dawn Focused Freak Out Calls and actually tells me she needs a break.

Thanks for posting.

I feel like the center of all attention.

I think my illness is the most important issue.

Is that what you mean?

I’m only worried about myself most of the time and being comfortable @Om_Sadasiva @Agent101g

More sensitive towards people who are mentally ill.
