>>25546134Man the new person I've had a personal convo outside of work with in like, a regular public setting, is an actual paranoid schizophrenic. He approached me saying I looked like an actor, we talked about our place in life and coffee, it was nice. I saw him again yesterday on the train and most of the convo was normal but I definitely confirmed the dude needs meds, and I can't engage him as a friend because at least half of that second convo was not based in an objective reality, even if most of the convo was calm and normal.
And like, I try to talk to normal people but everyone is so fucking absorbed in themselves, either headphones in, sunglasses on, staring right at their phones the second they're bored in public, or just with their other friends. It's hard.
