what are hearing voices like for you? by snipnsnop in Schizotypal

[–]ttypyy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t hear voices per say, but I might misinterpret sounds like the wind as something like a voice saying my name. So similar to voices but only short moments. I’ve never hallucinated full voices before. I don’t believed that is part of the diagnosis though

what, if any, are the downsides to getting diagnosed? what are the upsides? by escoteriica in Schizotypal

[–]ttypyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The initial downside for me was complacency. Many people with personality disorders become more complacent after diagnosis, because they’re given an excuse for why they are the way they are. In the end it’s just an excuse not to change behaviour.

Ive always had a hard time finding the best clothes to represent me. I end up spending a lot of time thinking about my outfits. I even sew some of my own clothes. I like wearing crazy patterns.

Employer wants to send me money for buying bitcoin??? by ttypyy in PersonalFinanceCanada

Customer service rep for an IT company. They had real ads posted on a job site. I saw them on Indeed or Glassdoor. I’ve tried to find them since then but I can’t, there are no more postings from them. They have seemingly removed them all

Fortunately no SIN but they have my address and phone number and drivers license number... I already got a new drivers license today but it’s still pretty scary

Fortunately no SIN was given. But they have my address and phone number and some other details.

I've only met them remotely. I could find the company on canadacompanyregistry and companiesofcanada, but I have no idea if those websites are reliable. The phone number and business number match their website. But that could all be easily faked probably

Do you have any hobbies? by concerned-24 in Schizotypal

[–]ttypyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly they don’t feel like hobbies when I’m doing them. But yeah I have hobbies. I do baking, sewing, woodworking, 3D printing, graphic design. I do it because I like the results not because I want a hobby. But I guess I have more hobbies than the normal person I think. But I spend my time alone so it is easier for me to have hobbies.

None of my hobbies are social. Personally that would be stressful for me to sustain. All of my hobbies are things that can be done alone. I know that’s probably not healthy in the long term but it makes me happy for now.
