Inappropriate smiles, talks to self, that meets the criteria for the diagnosis of the onset of......encourage her to see a psychologist and an assessment will be done.

Ok sir

KingEverest:
I think it's natural

Hmmmmmm natural to me I don't think it natural sir, it draining her even people they avoid her... But me as a good understanding friend I stood by her

Mamayam:
I have depression tho. Don't know the cause if that. It could be depression or anything. For me, most likely cognitive deficits.

good friend

VanessaKokomama:
I think it does matter... People would avoid you , if somebody finds your trouble and you retailate they will say , he done start again

I think you care too much what people think or will say. I have been living this way most all of my life and people don't avoid me as you assume.

Maybe small-minded individuals avoide me, and thank God for that because I have an aversion for small-minded folks. It's like I am allergic on some level to them. The moment I realize their present, it's like the wind gets knocked right out of me and I am scampering to get as far the help away from them as I can.

People will say what they will say. It is up to you to decide whether to give meaning to what is said or not. The choice is yours. As long as you are not a selfish inconsiderate jerk about it, there is nothing wrong with living life with you, yourself and yours as your best buddy!

Does your friend tell you that it is compulsive behavior on her part?

Or is she drained because she has emotional vampires around her, some of whom may call themselves her friends, telling her that she is not normal for talking and smiling to herself?

Tell her to come online on nairaland and talk to other people about this so-called problem or hers so she can maybe get a different perspective to help her either cope or find a resolution.

Kobojunkiee:
Sure, the DSM-5. So what particular illnesses in the DSM-5 do the "symptoms" listed by the OP belong to?

I do not want to state anything here, reason I posted that the OP should encourage the friend to go see a professional for assessment.

Well according to her she said people always says Unprintable words to her so that normally get to her... I think what she meant was people say bad things against her, so she allowed those negative words get into her.

So, the cause of the drain is indeed from the fact that she is surrounded by emotional vampires who fill her head with negative words and ideas likely born of ignorance?

If that is the case, she needs to work on her self-esteem and self confidence. If she is dealing with depression, especially from being different, she needs to get necessary help or even read up on ideas on how to put all the toxic people and their toxic comments on full ignore.

There is nothing wrong with your friend.. if she is the only intelligent conversation she can have, then she has a right and freedom to engage and enjoy the company that is herself.

Life is too short and too hard to be worried about what other people think abeg!

Ok no worries

Psychological disorder

Depression

Be specific, what disorder is it?

Onset of Schizophrenia vs Schizoaffective disorder. I hope she is not talking to voices in her head. If so, you should be careful. One day those voices could tell her to hit you in the head with a brick.
