im a male im 17. Over the past year i have distanced my self from my friends to the point where i dont really talk to other people that much, which makes most social interactions sort of akward. Also when ever i am alone in my house or at night some where alone i always get this horrifing feeling that there is something there something thats not supposed to be there and what ever it is is going to get me. I also hear things coming from outside which scare the hell out of me or a little scratching sound from one of my cats but i always associate it with something else. When ever i am in class at school and somebody laughs or is whispering i think it is about me. Not that i have a huge ego and think the world revolves around me, but just that people are making fun of me or something. I do have a girlfriend but its long distance so i only get to see her once a year. I love being alone and being able to think about stuff. I can just sit there and think about random things for hours and not get bored. Also i tend to always be tired no matter how much i sleep. Do you think i am schizophrenic?

Hi Connor,

I don't think your symptoms make you schizophrenic. I think you might have some anxiety issues, but they aren't severe enough to keep you from doing things. It's also fairly common for to distance yourself during adolescence.

Can you talk to a counselor or someone you trust?

Hope it helps.

being a 17 yo male is hard no matter what. if you're worried, talk to someone. school counselor, nurse, parent of a friend.. don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for help, we all need someone to talk to and we're all scared sometimes. I'm sure you'll get thru this

«-----ive read that schizophrenia is linked ,amognst many other factors, to assoiciate stuff aUtomatically, although non-schizophrenic can do that as well. my best advice would be to not JUMP to conclusions.                                                                                                                            talkiing always helps, cuz it helps deal with emotions and everybody has emotions. they regulate our lives.

schizophrenia is categorized as hearing stuff in your brain, but its like hearing anything, when schizophrenic people hear auditory hallucinations, most tHInk its very much real. cuz their brain told them they heard it. cuz they heard it.
