Dear Members,
Research has shown that submissiveness is often a problem in both schizophrenia and depression.
Submissiveness is defined as:
Is overly submissive or passive with others. Could you please tell our community if submissiveness was part of your schizophrenia, and what made this better or worse.
Your comments will greatly help others facing these same problems.

I sometimes have the opposite problem.
1. In high school, for example, my only official detention ("green slip" they called it, with demerits) was for 'insubordination' which would seem to be the opposite of submissiveness.
2. I am often drawn to pornography involving sadistic behavior, the thing which stops me from being sadistic (I am most certainly not masochistic) is 'the system' meaning fear of retribution (for lack of better vocabulary). I would not consider myself masochistic at all.
3. Only being in hospitals where I have no control of my environment has made me submissive at times, when you are in a place where if you give an attitude they can (and in my case, have) tie you up in 4-point-restraints, that's the only time where a forced submissiveness (or learned submissiveness) comes in, because after a while you realize you are not in control of your life, someone else is.
