Is it normal that i can't talk to people (correctly)?

This includes everyone, not just strangers. ( I've only started noticing these things for a few months-1 year)

I have a hard time thinking. It's taking my full concentration just to type this sentence. Let's say I'm talking to my friend. I'll want to tell them about something that happened today or something I read about. In the middle of my story I'll completely stop because I've forgotten what I was talking about. It feels like my thoughts were taken out of my head and I have to either ask them what we were talking about or I have to think really long and hard to remember. I usually give up because I get frustrated.

Another thing I noticed is that when I talk I don't finish the words completely. Example: If I say, "How are you?" it sounds more like How ah yo-? and I trail off or sometimes my words mix together and no one can understand me. I have to consciously be aware of saying things clearly which takes a lot of effort.

Other times I just have nothing to say and when I say nothing I mean absolutely nothing comes to my mind to say. All of this is partly why I don't like being around people anymore.

On a side note I've been worrying about this because my mom's schizophrenic and I've just started noticing that I've been acting/thinking differently.

I might as well add that a month or two ago I was at the book store and this book caught my eye, "Liminal States." I think it was the bug on the cover because at the time I kept thinking there were bugs everywhere (in my drink/food/following me). I read the prologue and I thought it was a message for me.

    You need to copy what you have written here and show it to a Psychiatrist. You might need a referral from a family physician for this first.

    If you smoke weed you should stop smoking weed.

      Also if you kill Jews you should stop killing Jews, but that's just general advice.

    ignore the other advice here,they don't know anything. it's just attention deficit disorder. just make an apointment to a regular dr. and get some medication. nothing else can fix it.

    Maybe you're developing schizophrenia. Go to a psychiatrist or doctor ASAP.

    Don't use cannabis, seriously. It will make matters worse for you. That's really all the advice I can give.

    I feel like I have to preface everything I say and it drives people crazy. I don't like it when others do it either. I feel like I have to set the stage for what I am about to say. My boss really hates it. I guess it is just the way I am.

    Speak to a psychiatrist. It could be something or it could be nothing-thats why you should find out.. Are you particularly stressed right now? Or Is something on your mind? Getting enough sleep? That could lead to the social awkwardness but for the hallucinating.. Idk.

    You could be developing schizophrenia. Since, your mother has it there's a greater risk that you could develop it too. I have the same problem. Sometimes, I can't even get words out and I'll either mumble incoherently or not be able to talk at all. I also have most of the other symptoms associated with the condition. Like Suck said, you should see a therapist. Write down every single symptom you have and show it to the doctor.

    Good Luck!

    I agree with suckonthis9, you should really see a psychiatrist. You could be developing schizophrenia, or acute paranoia. There's no known cure for schizophrenia, as you may already know, but there are ways to decrease the activity of the symptoms. I hope you figure something out.
