用法筆記

This adjective is always used after a linking verb (feel, be, become, end up) — never before a noun. For example, you can say 'He feels screwed up' but NOT 'a screwed-up person'. When written as a compound adjective before a noun, it is hyphenated: 'a screwed-up childhood', though this is still highly informal.

常見錯誤

I am a screwed up person.
I feel really screwed up about what happened.
This adjective usually follows a linking verb and sounds unnatural before a noun.
