It's difficult to say but if you're not hearing voices as in people from nowhere talking to you and having hallucinations then I'd say you don't have shizophrenia. It sounds more like a personality disorder.

Either way I'd talk to an older person who you trust about it and perhaps arrange to see a doctor. It seems fairly obvious that you need help, so you should try and get it somewhere.

Yes, it doesn't sound like schizophrenia of any kind. To be honest i don't even think it's personality disorder. To me it just sounds more like chronic depression
