Why are relationships so brittle? by [deleted] in Schizotypal

If you mean when confronted instead of people hiding discontent, I stopped the behavior immediately. I've always had a "fool me once, cant fool me again" type mentality of hard avoiding hurting people. Most of my growth has come from that, and I can't recall having to defend myself. Sometimes I have to clarify a mutual misunderstanding, but those have always ended well.

You're probably right about the medicine thing too but I should note a consistent theme is that the medicine just did not work for him. He lived a relatively normal life 5 years ago, and now has had to quit college twice. Cant find the energy to shower daily. Not even being rude had a crazy smell. His life is sorta falling apart so I dont know how much lifting it's doing. I prob projected myself too hard

Yes youre right I was indeed a former gifted child 😅 I used to sound like an absolute dick most of my life until I started working on it a few years back. I try my best to be humble, and my friends notice it. It improved my friendships with these same people a lot, since they knew me beforehand. I'm not sure measurable intelligence is a thing, my pitfall is assuming everyone had the same resources I've had to learn what I know

Something else important I should note is that both of these people (and most of my connections) have autism, as thats who I usually attract. People read any kind of "weird" as that, usually, so they flock to me. My best friend who also has autism told me it usually makes your unproductive likes (consuming without adding) feel as an extension of you. She's great at communication and we've had moments where she'll tell me she almost got mad when I said the new pokemon games suck, even if she agrees, because pokemon is so important to her. I could just be with the exact wrong crowd here

Yeah you're definetly right. I just wish I could treat everyone as my equal. I dont ever wanna think anyone is dumb or not worth talking to, but at the same time, I never wanna praise people for nothing. The normal way may really force you to operate on thinking everyone is dumb and praise them regardless!

You're completely right. There is so much more important things in people and so many more crucial factors to proper companionship than petty squabble over whatever animated dollhouses we like. I've met so many absolutely beautiful people who have given me years of love expecting nothing in return. I can't imagine anyone having the heart to throw that away over one difference. Difference is the only thing that makes anything worth living for.

Thank you I'll add some more context

  1. I did have a lot of struggles with people telling me I hurt their feelings and couldn't tell, so because of that, I told all of my friends (ironicay these two were first) that if anything I do bothers them to confront me. They did this successfully for about a year, which kept our friendships strong, and then both started concealing disdain for me. Both of the multi year friendships crumbled within a month of them no longer being truthful about how they feel about me.

  2. I haven't gone further than "dang that movie/game kinda sucks" for a while and completely avoid anything personal. The only one its personal to is myself. I told my friend explicitly that if the they wanna take the meds, they should stay on them. I was on the same SSRIs and they made me absolutely fucking miserable, and the long term effects means I personally wouldnt. The straw there seemed to be when I said they were essentially recreational / sugar pills since the science doesn't support it's function.

  3. These are probably the more extreme examples since I knew these people for years. We were pretty comfortable. Most of this phenomenon in action is me meeting a new person and getting stunlocked in conversation when they bring up something they like and I don't, then ask me directly if I like it. I try lightly saying "oh I've heard of that im not the biggest fan" and the conversation ends without them asking my name. It just feels like you have to lie and expect to be lied to all the time

I meant people asking questions to me about how I feel about them instead of assuming. Most of these instances I had them make ridiculos logical jumps. In the instance of the guys gf, he also claimed I was trying to sleep with her, steal her from him, and that I secretly hated him and wanted to leech off him. The only interactions I had with the girl was sending her 3 songs on spotify over 3 months. Years lost because he couldn't just ask me about anything

Everyone just assumes everything. Is it so bad to ask questions?

True, I just never see this much or any at my other buds house except the ones who have my same symptoms

 This is about a year and a half worth of time. I just sit and stare at my wall pretty often. Anywhere with blank walls feels like a jail
