    am I developing schezophrenia?

     

    i do believe that every person i see is talking about me and saying bad things about me

    sometimes i believe i see and hear things. i always feel like i'm being watched. i believe that i have the power to make people change their decisions and do whatever i want them to do. i really have no interest in doing anything at all. sometimes i find it hard to concentrate in something or put my thoughts into words. sometimes i dont feel like talking to anyone or i respond to them nodding or just with one word. people say i'm negative. I get really mad over almost anything. i am very impatient and i always argue with everyone. i would say that i daydream too much.
