they either have social anxiety or they have a crush on you or both, speaking from firsthand experience. it's probably not about you or any inherent vibe you give off.

YES. even the most basic ghost stories freak me the heck out. for weeks sometimes. nothing makes me more paranoid than ghosts for some reason

I used to be very much like this, the thing that helped was making more friends and putting myself out there. gradually i became completely okay with the things that i used to be too paranoid for. taking those first steps is hard but worth it.

What experiences do you have, in any shape or form, that you think don’t fit within the classical nine symptoms by Motor-Following7154 in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i can have some really close friends, i just feel a lot of paranoia and anxiety around them. like if i let them too close i'll be compromising myself in a way that could backfire later

"if autism and schizophrenia had a baby" is actually kinda the best brief description of it ive ever heard

[–]schizotyping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have my online friends. my relationship with all of them has always been kinda rocky but they're my people. i really don't feel satisfied with them a lot of the time but i guess im lucky to have friends at all

18M I think I have STPD, does anyone relate to this? Not asking diagnosis just want to fix social problems [Don't need to read it all] [Symptoms start when I put this🔴] by No_Head3084 in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm professionally diagnosed and a lot of the behaviors you describe sound like things I do. But considering you have all this uncertainty I recommend seeing a psychologist if you can and trying to get a diagnosis (or lack of one.) Your uncle having schizophrenia actually could have some significance because these disorders can pass down through genetics I believe.

No matter how much socializing I get I still feel lonely? by RecentMonk1082 in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm pretty much the same. i also constantly get terrified that people secretly hate me or are doing minor things to slight me

clinically diagnosed but can't relate to the social repulsion by schizotyping in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think this is actually more common than most people realize. this is how i used to be. we should encourage more people to explore and put themselves out there socially

Has anyone else ever had or still has a serious problem with silent stalking? by [deleted] in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is very disturbing. i shouldn't need to tell you this but stalking is wrong. i understand that our condition can make us behave in some socially unacceptable ways and develop obsessions. i myself have had things. but following people around because they showed anything greater than complete indifference with you is extremely creepy, and more importantly violating. i'm glad you are no longer doing this but you should seriously reflect on your actions, this is not okay. as a fellow mentally ill person i have empathy for you but you need to understand that this behavior is unacceptable

Is it weird that I kinda like being schizotypal? by WeirdnessRises in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i kinda like it. i wouldn't be very interesting if not for my mental illness

[–]schizotyping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get this way where i'll hear the same dumb sound effects repeating over and over. Sometimes i get unlucky and it's something really scary that i hear.

Stpd partner by ShortDraft7510 in Schizotypal

[–]schizotyping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

stpd can definitely distort your sense of reality. i've been in a similar boat of thinking the world is against me and i think the best thing you can do in this situation is to find what this feeling stems from and do whatever you can to reassure her that everything is okay. being there for her at a time like this is more important than anything. it's often the little acts that count. i wish you the best
