Forum Schizophrenia

for·um schizo·phre·nia, n.

An internet disorder caused by an individual who reads a significantly higher number of blog, forum or comment posts by many unique individuals, to the point of hearing voices in his head that do not correspond to his perceived train of thought.

The pathology behind this disorder is believed to reside behind the individuals 'mental voice' - the voice that speaks the words in an individual's mind as he reads - and the lack of a consistent train of thought due to the brevity and uniqueness of blog, forum and comment posts

i.e. each post has a different writing style, tone, train of thought, point of view, that continuing to read these posts, without a rest period to center one's thoughts, can lead to a lack of sense of self, and beginning to hear one's mental voice speak and think in ways that are foreign to the individual

The reason it is specifically an internet disorder, and not common schizophrenia, is probably due to the style of internet writing. i.e. if a person were to read a book, or magazine article, it's length and sense of closure at the end of the article allows an individual to regain their own train of thought.

Can be commonly found to coincide with Google Amnesia, and Hyperlink ADD

Schizoposting

They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door They are scratching at my door

The old testament withered along with the understanding of the previous realm. Nothing can be understood verbatim after the discombobulation of logic.

What you just read is a fair example of Schizoposting, the act of creating memes generally used to induce a feeling of dread and panic by creating some of the most batshit crazy media only fathomable to a schizophrenic.
Guy 1: "Man have you ever tried Schizoposting?"
Guy 2: "AHhhhhhhhh, the gnomes in the forest want me to prance in the mist"
Guy 1: "Okay yeah you definitely have."

Julie: It's 4pm, I'm off. See you tomorrow.
Karla: What? You don't just leave at 4pm. There are still open issues to resolve.
Julie: Understood, I'll finish up.
Karla: Look, you can't just assume that we can pay you overtime. Your shift ends at 4pm, so if you stay later you need to get it approved first.
Julie: Are you certified in schizomanagement?

schizoid

Similar to a loner, but on a larger scale. They appear to be detached and emotionless, but they are still people. They have little regard for social norms. For more information, see loner.

*note: Schizoids are NOT schizophrenic. The similarity in name is because they basically mean 'split from society' and 'split up mind' respectively.
Jack is such a schizoid, I think he's some robot or something.
