Hello, this is an informative blog about StPD, my experience and the general traits/characteristics (I don't know how to say it in English) of the Schizotypal disorder. 

Warning: mah English is broken, it's sucks I'm so sorry if doesn't make any sense at times

Schizotypal personality disorder is a Cluster A disorder, the Cluster A is a category, all the disorders who belong to Cluster A have (most of the time) the followed characteristics:

• Eccentric/extravagant personality

• An overall stranger/weird way of acting, speaking etc

• Tendency to be introvert, social isolation

• Have unusual pattern of behavior.

• Paranoia

Now, what are te general characteristics of StPD? One of the most talked is the difficulties of keep relationships with other people, but why? 

• can't express their feelings correctly

• Social anxiety who tends to be a paranoid fear (that does not diminish with familiarity) 

• an eccentric appearance

• unusual/odd beliefs (example: aliens, fairies, cryptics, crystals, blizzard fantasies etc) 

• Odd speech (vague, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped) 

• Paranoia (again) 

To make an actual diagnostic of this disorder the patient have to show 5 or more symptoms, so... What are the other characteristics? 

• Derealization

• Discomfort in forming and maintaining social connections

• odd/eccentric modes of dressing

• Peculiar speech mannerisms

• React oddly to conversations (not respond, talk to themselves etc) 

• Ideas and delusions of reference (thinking that random events and casualties have a personal significance) 

• Paradoxical laughter (an uncontrollable laughter that is unwarranted by external events) 

And an uncommon symptoms of amnesia! 

My experience

So I'm a person with multiples disorder (autism, ADHD, social anxiety and obv StPD) but I think people noticed more my StPD, my memory is bad but I always talked to myself, when I was little (6-10) I pretend I was multiple people because I didn't have friends so that was my way of coping with it, then (11-15) I talked to myself to remember me things, say an unfunny meme or just because yes, in the actuality I do both, sometimes I pretend I'm multiple people just for fun.

I was always tell by my family that I believed in weird thing (unicorns, fairies, cryptology, aliens, ghost, mermaids and more!) That none of those things existed and I would never had a boyfriend if I start talking about unicorns with people (?) But I actually don't care, for me they exist and no one can change that (literally, is impossible to change my mind about it) 

I just have one friend... Okay I have MORE FRIENDS but I don't consider them my friends because I'm with the constant fear of they are using me or they judge me, I don't like interacting with people and I wish I had more friends but is so hard for me, it caused me physical pain sometimes talk to people.

And recently I noticed I make odd pauses when I answer in a conversation, sometimes I talk TOO FAST, I can't control my loudness when I talk or control my tone (idk how it call in English), when I'm nervous I laughed and when something bad happens I also (usually) laugh. 

I have this weird feeling of the world being against me, sometimes when something bad happens randomly I just think "well goddamned, this happened because of me" and like????? No 😭 but sometimes I just think like that, I have enough awareness of my condition to know that's not true but I still get sad when idk a tornado happened because 'is because of me" shit :(

My "friends" at school always told me I get angry because random things or I start crying for shit, that I made up words, that sometimes is hard to understand what I'm saying (my ex used to tell my I made so much metaphors or over explain things). 

I think StPD are one of those disorders that you aren't aware of it, it doesn't affect you directly but affect the people around you, like most of the time I'm just normal doing my thing and is the people around me that noticed I'm not like them and I mean.... Is fun! Is actually funny to me to see the people around me get confused because the things I say, but ya know, that's only my experience
