How do I convince my schizophrenic friend that he is in a game and I am one of the main characters? I tried to help him but that fucker is so stubborn in his delusions that I gave up. He keeps telling stories about people "showing up in his head" and playing "games" every single day so why wouldn't I have some "fun" with him?
How should I approach him?

You can't, you've watched too much dumb cartoons/memes if you think schizophrenia is free access to brain's kernel processes.
Yes I can. I just need to start my own 100meters long website, filled with low quality pictures of strange, unhappy people and theories about "people like him" realizing they are in a game. Too bad I'aint have time for that.
I agree
I hope he murders you and leaves you in a ditch for trying to play with a mentally ill person when he spoids out.
Does he have any experience with drugs? If not then I recommend dosing him with DMT.
Joe Rogan out here on Sup Forums
he was doing ayahuasca with real shamans and his trip was about "coughing out" and "puking out" his voices. The next they he could still her them and was disappointed.
You're not a therapist.
Don't mess with the mentally ill.

It's all about conditioning and gaslighting.
First thing you need to do is teach him to let you be in control of his thoughts. This can be done in many ways, but the easiest is the Pavlovian method-stimulus and reward for proper behavior. Now, all of this can be done to treat your friend too, and get him to stop talking about his delusions to you, but that's not as fun as what you proposed.
Get him to agree that you are right to something small and obvious, and then introduce a stimulant of some sort- a noise, an action, something not really super obvious though-think a whistle, clicking your fingern tapping a foot-and right after give him a reward- be it praise, for a job well done, a cookie, smoking a bowl, a beer-doesnt matter as long as he enjoys it.
Over the course of many many sessions of you getting him to agree you are correct, instroducing the stimulus and giving him his reward- you slowly build up crazier and crazier ideas. You cant start at "hey you're an NPC". You gotta build up trust in your reasoning and build up the reinforcement of this concept so your friend wont even think to question you when you drop the whole video game thing.
Huh. Bummer.
I'd say your best bet is high dose Scopolamine then.
Still a faggot.
You are a peice of shit.do the world a favor and kill yourself.
U mad? I'm just trying to make it more enjoyable for him. Nothing seems to help. He just wants to trace down "people in control of his mind". That's the only thing he cares about, literally.
>more enjoyable for him
by making you the main character? kys faggot
Following up on this, you should also start pointing out the day to day trivialities that nevertheless resemble targeted game features. Like if you could somehow arrange for something "respawn" at regular intervals (moldy bread under the sink? something funny looking at the grocery store?). Anything you can do to cause doubt will help widen the division.
It's a joke. I don't have to be a main character. I just want to make it less about control and being a subject to an experiment.
lol
Maybe it's presumptuous of me to assume computer games. If you wanted to go for tabletop games, then leave dice around, make a point of making your own decision by using the dice, and encourage him to do so as well. Or point out the various controlling figures who fill the role of the dungeon master, boss/supervisor/manager/maitre d'/etc. There's connections nearly everywhere, and life for regular people is all about pretending that it really isn't all a game. Your goal is just to make them a little bit more apparent, and he'll do the rest himself.
Inb4 OP get murdered by his loony tune friend
Your friend is going to murder you if you keep this up
Take him to a psychiatrist you piece of shit. I hope you develop a mental health disorder one day and have other people mess with your mind.
he does this and you still hang around him?
when he stabs you
you will deserve it
I hope he stabs you in the eyeball OP you sick fuck
he's rather suicidal than homicidal.
He was there already. Told me the doctors didn't want to believe the voices are not just hallucinations. Also medications didn't help him, just made him numb so he lied he no longer hears anything and they let him out.
