View submission: do people with schizophrenia who also need glasses see their hallucinations clear or blurry when not wearing glasses?

And they are always evil.

Could you elaborate? Do they "look" evil or do the "feel" evil or do they "act" evil?

Hope it's fine to ask this.

Not the person you asked, but I have schizoaffective disorder (think schizophrenia, but it comes in episodes), and a similar delusion.

It's not masks for me, but rather, I become convinced that it's a monster in someone's skin. I look for pointed teeth. If they have those or yellowed eyes (supplied by my brain) it's a skin walker.

So when I am in an episode, and I start looking at teeth, it's because the vibes are off. I "feel" the evil. Obviously pointed monster teeth and goldish eyes are terrifying, but it's really a thing of feeling rather than how they look.
