Thank you for sharing this. I feel uneasy about having used the word "schizophrenic", especially after reading what you wrote. It was a bit of a nasty tactic on my part because it attracts attention (unfortunate that the internet implicitly incentivizes that). In my regular in-person conversations I don't think I've ever used that word. I'll be more sensitive next time online too. Thank you. As a substitute -- can you think of a word that would very swiftly capture the extreme cognitive dissonance people surely must have to engage in the behavior they currently do?
