Did you know how easy partial hanging is?

Your cute cat picture and lack of tripfagging has earned a (You). OP confirmed heterosexual.

When I talk to people of my generation, I feel like I have absolutely nothing in common with them. I can only talk with people 50 years older than me, because that's who I socialized with as a young child. My hobbies are relatively niche, and I have trouble talking about them. How do I stop spilling my spaghetti?

Do you have faith in psychiatric medication? How else would one battle depression, if psychotherapy has just been a failure over and over thus far? I'm skeptical about these things but I might as well try everything before suicide.

What do you think of fridgeanon's podcasts?

Why do I want a gf so bad?

Yes, but one thing is how easy it is to do physically and another how easy it is to accept it simbolically and go through with it.
Cute pic friend.
I have had this problem too, and you commonly see something very similar in people who had a childhood spent on the internet and then have trouble adapting their relationship dynamics to "real" ones.
One method to create new dynamics or adapt preexisting ones is to observe normal interactions or develop them through repetition.
Well that is conceptually, but you could you tell me how do are your interactions with people your age? and specify in your own terms what you mean by spilling your spaghetti, please.

Defined as talking way too much about myself and my interests, saying something inappropriate to the conversation at hand (such as a joke that falls flat), or completely blanking on how to maintain the conversation.

Why do guys like trannys so much?

Is complicated, because neuronally there are people who need to compensate hormonal production, but with continuous use of drugs/medicaments learn to function normally with them as part of their life, which obviously creates troubles later on for their lifestyles.
Another problem with your question is how reliable are terapists and the methods they use, by only taking terapy sessions you are supposed to have some level of catharsis (like emotional vent), but long term effects really depend on how good is your therapist.

If you are in a life endangering situation, and yes, suicidal thoughs that are so strong and could lead to suicide is one of those situations. I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist to receive some medication, but do so at the same time that you take therapy sessions. In psychology there is an important first step in which you meet and talk about the development of your case, only begin a process once you are somewhat sure that you can have a certain level of trust in that person.

Hey there.
My dad is ded, my mom's a schizo, my best friend is an ex-prostitute heroin junkie and I'm currently addicted to crack cocaine.
What do you want to talk about?

I don't know, because I have not listened to them, you would have to post them, and wait for me to listen to them, so that I could give you my opinon.
Well, you may think that most people have the same reasons for wanting a gf but that is not exactly true. We all have our very personal reasons for wanting something. One interesting thing for you to think about is the fact that you do not think about a specific person you want to have as a gf, but the concept of gf. So it would be wise to first think about what is a gf to you.
Things like that happen to everyone, the matter is that it looks like it occurs to you so much that is a significant matter for your lifestyle.
So we have:
-Talk about yourself too much
-Saying something inappropiate to the conversation
-Blankin on how to maintain the conversation
I do not like trannies, but I do not know a bout other psychologists.
The question is not what I want, but what you want to talk about friend? why did you feel the need to mention your family, want to talk about them?

Sorry I forgot one part of my post,
So we have:
-Talk about yourself too much
-Saying something inappropiate to the conversation
-Blankin on how to maintain the conversation
Can you think about one thing these three have in common?

>you do not think about a specific person
I have, but can't be with them
>think about what is a gf to you
I just want to be in a loving relationship. To have someone I can share myself with and be close to

Whenever I talk to someone online for a really extended period of time, or hear any really repetitive bullshit extensively, I keep hearing it ceaselessly in my head long after it stops. I also have cacophonous babbling in my head often and different "voices" but I know they arent real and are in my head. Sometimes I get weird shit that keeps me up at night, for example, the other night I felt like all my thoughts were in the form of vague purple blotches on my minds eye, and it was hard to think exclusively in purple blotches, like my mind was compiling wrong. Eventually it wore off, but I still saw a strange shape like a half full ovular tube in my mind whenever I closed my eyes for the rest of the night.These are just some quick examples of weird shit that happens to me.
I am perfectly lucid and aware all this is weird, am I maybe developing schizophrenia or something?

I'm focusing the conversation on me, and not really paying attention to the other person's role? It's like a monologue, not a dialogue?

How to self treat schizophrenia ty

>Useless psychologist here (certified with a degree of course).
>Any questions (irrelevant or relevant), insults or anything else welcome.
The fuck is wrong with me, doc?

How do you get rid of gender dysphoria w/o transition
Order antipsychotics from India for positive symptoms

This goes a bit outside of my knowledge, but auditory and visual alucinations are symptoms of schizophrenia as well as other possible diagnostics. You would need to get checked, I do not have the neccesary materials with me right now, to even do a superficial diagnosis, try to ask me again tomorrow if I make a thread. I am going to look for the necessary things later, but have in mind than even if I do a partial diagnosis of your case, you still need to get checked if those things are causing you problems in your day to day.
I would say that is impossible to "self treat" schizophrenia.
It would take months of therapy. But please do understand, that therapy is only necessary when is causing problems to the person himself/herself or to other in her/his environment. So you cannot apply by force therapy to someone who wants to transition, though it would be very useful for the person to understand its mind better.
Thanks, will watch later

Not the person you were talking t, but do you really think so many people are suitable to enter into relationships with one another? I see this board full of young impressionable and vulnerable boys who are very demoralized, also full of narcissists who enjoy their predatory behavior towards the former group. Alot of the discussions hinge around boys longing for these idealized concepts of what a relationship might be. The truth is that most people in relationships are very unhappy, and unhappy or otherwise troubled people are not likely to form a beneficial relationship with another person. My advice to them is to get a sex doll that you like and take good care of it and of yourself. This whole incel meme is ridiculous.

hehe look at the cat

he gots a little pp!!!

>Is having that type of relationship the same as having someone you can share yourself with and be close to?
I guess, but the two aren't exclusive. I can feel safe with someone that I'm not in a living relationship with
>What is in your opinion sharing yourself and being close to someone?
Feeling safe to talk about more sensitive things with someone. Knowing that they care what I have to say and vice versa. I want to spend time with someone and know that they love me
>what things are included in it?
I guess spending time together and helping each other improve and overall enjoying things together. I'm pretty sureI started feeling this way lately because a friend tried to set me up with a girl he knows, but then he found out she had a boyfruend. I've met her and she's really cool, but obviously I can't date her. I just hate that I got my hopes up

Please tell me everything you know about insight oriented therapy?

Is that a Turkish van? I LOVE those cats

I always feel undeserving of love or affection. Whenever someone actually loves me or befriends me, I shower them with attention and expensive gifts but feel hurt when they don't give me attention when I need it. How can I overcome being this easy to control?

Not OP, but one way to cope with schizophrenia on your own is to practice observance/awareness of your own mind. Don't fight against your psychotic episodes, but don't try to ignore them, either.

Feel free to only answer a few:

Why study something as useless as psychology when you can do something productive like psychiatry at little more time in university?

Any suggestions for meds for LTP (Long term propagation).

Experiences with the DSM5, good or bad compared to DSM4.

Difference between depressive personality disorder and depression.

Are there any easy tests for choline/acetylcholine levels.

Are there any easy tests for dopamine levels

Are there any easy tests for sexual hormone levels (mainly estrogen and testosterone)

Is progesterone a noticeable factor in mood.

What is better for passing the blood brain barrier, fat or water soluble molecules. Water right? It seems more intuitive but I've been told otherwise.

Are there any drugs you know of to largely suppress brain activity? Something like a voltage gated calcium channel blocker, to stop the diffusion of calcium into axon terminals to stop the fusion of vesicles with the neuron membrane to reduce the amount of neurotransmitter released from action potential.

How would you deal with depressed patient that also has schizoid tendencies?

Sorry it will take me some time to answer to all of these questions, and I am having some issues here, so please wait a little I will do my best to answer all the questions.

>trannies
such a larp, cant beleive you guys are bumping this crap

>would be very useful for the person to understand its mind better.
>its mind

>Take your meds, schizo.
Not OP. If you have heard this line do not heed it. This line is indicative that you are being gaslighted by someone who is indeed guilty of doing whatever it was that you suspected them of. All the boards here are subjected to pretty heavy shilling from various political activist groups and they use tactics like spreading propaganda, astroturfing, black propaganda, etc. If you complain about having observed such behavior, they will accuse you of being a paranoid schizo because that is the easiest way for them to respond. It is well known that all social media sites on the internet are subject to this kind of shilling and if you want to take a break from it try visiting some boards dedicated to apolitical subject matter, not this board.

That could be it. When one is having a conversation, one constructs together with someone, is a process. When talking thinking about yourself is as important as thinking about the other person.
Now, what would you think is the source of this troubles you are having? you said that the reason is you only interacted with older people while young, but if you think about it, and the direct reasons which would they be?
For example, "I cannot wipe my ass" direct perceived reason "I have not toilet paper"

I call people schizoids but I'm not a shill

Why do psychs never take health insurance and try to push video call sessions? It's like they dont actually want patients
This extends far back before the quarantine lockdown thing, the video calls have nothing to do with it

Hi op.
Please could you give me insight - why would one obsess over friendships, even just online ones.
Also, why would someone not want to seem (physially) vulnerable?

I will explain something very simple, but apparently unknown to most people, including psychologists.
One does not go to the psychologist, only because there is something "wrong".
People go to the psychologist for these 2 reasons:
1. The person wants to go to the psychologist.
2. The person is obligued by family, friends or an institution to go to the psychologist.
The therapy originates from what the person wants to talk about. Most incorrectly frame this as something "wrong" with the person, but this is far from being the case most of the time. The person has something happening in his life that is affecting their "health", according to WHO "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." so something could be making people sad or uncomfortable about their social dynamics, their environment, etc... and the aim to make a change about it.

why do girls send nudes to guys they've never met?
>inb4 she's a slut

it has to be more than that

how do i start going to therapy and how can i make it productive for myself

Go to a nearby free health clinic. If it's not free, go a nearby paid health clinic. They will refer you.

You have to believe/want it to work for behavioural therapy to work. Generally it's a load of shit, effectively the same as 'drink more water', 'get more exercise' etc, so works for people with (((depression))), which sounds like what you have in all honesty, since if you actually needed help you would have tried to get it by now.

I've seen over 10 therapists and 4 psychiatrists. I've tried probably 15 different types of medication combinations.

I moved to a new city 6 years ago, thinking for sure I'd be able to make friends or meet girls in a new city, if I went with an open mind, treated others how I'd like to be treated, said 'yes' to as much as possible, and tried lots of different things. I never did make any, and now I feel worse than ever.

Should I just kill myself or what?

What do you mean by letting go user?, do you want to make them dissapear, and why would that be?
thefreedictionary.com/fraudulent
"fraudulent - intended to deceive; deceitful advertising, fallacious testimony, smooth, shining, and deceitful as thin ice"
fraud noun
1. (an act of) dishonesty.
2. a person who pretends to be something that he isn't
First I want to say that in my opinion most of our field is not fraudulent, but could be easily considered so by these definitions. What I agree with is that there a lot of practitioners of psychology that engage in fraudulent acts in the diverse fields of application of psychology.
In investigation, is certainly common for people not only in psychology, but on other fields like medicine and biology, to falsify, do poor jobs, or make use of statistical tools to promote their career at the cost of the truth. This is something you see in psychology and that has helped in worsening the opinion of the field.
As per the second definition of fraud, there are a lot of practitioners, who proclaim outside of the validated knowledge of the field, to be able to "cure" people completely, among other things, they even make use of experimental methods not validated yet by openly accepted investigations of the accademic community.
Another important point is the confusion between psychoanalysis and psychology, the latter has the advantage of way more diverse field and validated methods of terapy, which are constructed according to principles of social and natural science (somewhat).

I do not have a gf, being able to understand yourself and others better is not the same as being able to go through with the correct decisions you have to make.
You are assuming that every person who tries to do it or have really though about doing it, is absolutely and consciously/willingly sure and ready for what they are about to do or want to do, there is the meme of "trust no one, not even yourself", and is true to some extend, because you cannot always believe that what you really want, what you think you want, what you are ready for or able to do, the way your symbolic world is structured, and your morals are in sync.
Whether everyone should know about is something that I would doubt, because having the means to do something while you are not mentally ready for it could be dangerous. Of course it could help some people, but it could also endanger a lot that mostly need someone to talk to or someone to present possible alternatives to them.

not making it dissapear just make it not effect me so much.

What are the clear markers of high iq (+130)? What are some easily identifiable traits of people on the spectrum?

Well, first I would advise you to stop thinking of yourself in labels, because from my understanding, it only helps you to stablish more rigids way of being and in the same token, makes change more difficult. But first to think about this situation, tell me why did you feel the need to say you are a "schizoid" to relate with the need you are talking about?
Relationships are complicated, not only as being part of one, but also as a concept. We create relationships whether we want it or not, but they are different in a lot of aspects, so in a lot of theories they are cathegorized by similar traits. The truth is that being happy or sad is not something that we always are, is something that changes constantly, so it can be said that someone is unhappy in their relationship right now, but not that the relationship per se is unhappy, and we can only examine that relationship by talking to the people in it or analizing variables related to it.
With all of this I want to say that, your advice is not something I would recommend, the "incel" meme may be ridiculous as a categorization made by some people, but not as an object of analysis relating to lonely young men, and statistically relationships of differend kind are necessary to fulfill people needs, and most of these needs cannot be covered with a sex doll.

oh, well I was diagnosed as having schizoid PD a few years ago, wanted to summarize my situation in as few words as possible. I'm guessing my pro-longed social isolation does not help the situation, but it's difficult to be social and re-connect with the real world when the entire world is quarantined now. I seem to only want to be in a relationship with unavailable people as a distancing tactic i'm guessing. Whenever someone shows interest in me I have 0 interest in them and I've been trying to break out of it so I won't live life socially stagnant.

i wanna go to school for psychology. Is it worth it?

I experience the things you describe with hearing "voices" or repeating things in my had that I know aren't real, and I've always considered those were a form of random intrusive thoughts given I have OCD. Might not be your case, but I guess it's useful to mention.
