You obviously don't have a parent who had a stand off with the cops and demanded the president come to see her. I know what it's like to grow up with a Schizophrenic. I have most schizotypal disorders and it's a pain in my ass. My brother is Schizoid. If not for modern psychiatry, I would not have as firm a grasp on my problems as I do now. Remember people have "subsets" as u say for objective phenomenon like plants and animals. It doesn't mean they don't exist like u claim for schizotypal DO.
I'm not ashamed of this at all, in fact, I'm proud to be different. I'm at a young age, and I'm just glad that I have some close friends who understand me...and now I think I am just going to have to deal with this life situation I'm in...I love myself :) and that's something that has always been hard for me to say.
This is nothing to be ashamed of when compared to certain people's definition of "badass" or "normal". I honestly like my life style versus messing up my life with substances and having to pay child support. In the end, it all matters as to whether a person lives malevolently or not.
It's too bad that some people think this if funny. They don't know how it is living with this type of disorder and how it can't simply be "fixed" with medications. I've lived my whole life with this, and it feels like being a sort of shell around people, unable to express myself because I'm anxious--wanting to get away from them and go off somewhere alone. Some people even experience shakiness and severe ringing in the ears. Put all that with being eccentric, and no one will want you around.
I think I'm probably schizotypal, but my last psychologist lead me to believe I was histrionic. Although, I think that was simply to have therapy move along.
Then again, I sometimes display borderline and antisocial traits.
I'm just so fucking weird... I mean, when even psychologists go "Wow, you're a special case" it does feel like a source for concern.
Why are some people being so rude about her? She is a psychiatrist and simply explaining this disorder. It is not fun to have and those who make fun of it don't understand it.
@ilyhoneybee Although I don't condone some of the vulgar comments left here about the lady in this video, I will say this.... If you watch her overall demeanor and her expressions when she talks about the people who are this way, she seems to have this look as though she thinks these people are less then her or not worthy of help. Personally that is the impression I get from watching more then just a few videos of her talking. Maybe I'm wrong but she does not look inviting.
I have symptoms of OCPD and Schizotypal Personality Disorder. :\
I believe in ghosts and aliens, which I understand that a lot of people do, but I feel like it slows down my ability to function normally. Under great stress I have sort of "cracked" mentally and didn't know what was real or fantasy. When these episodes occur, t is like there's a fog around normal reality & people may have ulterior motives and/or can read my thoughts if I accidentally transmit them.
This woman also has some disorder... saying "these people", ect.... she's so distancing from other people. She might have narcizistic, avoidant or other disorder....
You can only tell me I'm disordered if you are ordered yourself,.. IN MY LIFE I ALMOST NEVER SEEN TOTALY HEALTHY (ORDERED) PERSON...
Yeah this is really general. I have this disease but I certainly don't have magical thinking. I don't believe in the paranormal in the least. But other than that, she really is describing the disorder quite well.
You do realize the Pharma Industry is a huge cash cow. Before the DSM4 ever came along Jung called these conditions Neurosis. Not saying there aren't conditions out there more severe than neurosis but come on.....think about it.
Have you seen how much your meds are worth without insurance?
What if I was to tell you that unable to fit into mainstream society, having anxiety, depression, paranoia, aggression, withdrawl etc was a very normal response to a very abnormal world.
@solomons2012abiff In response to your question in the last paragraph of your comment, I would respond by telling you that you don't know what you're talking about. This isn't just feeling awkward in social situations, it's much worse than that. If I don't take my anti-psychotic, I hallucinate. I take the stuff, I don't hallucinate. Please don't assume that you can have any idea of what this disease is like and that we can just snap out of it because that's BS. I know what I've been through.
I love this schizotypal personality disorders. It's sound like me. What hell it's a crime to want to be alone and avoid to be around people that in the end you know is trouble. Also I do believe in the paranormal, esp, ghosts, UFO so according to this doctor I'am crazy and need medication. That's is so stupid. No wonder drugs company are making a fortune by playing with people's mind. A friend of mine lost his job and no longer could afford to pay for lexapro that cost $130 every month.
Being schizotypal and how pronounced the condition -- has a lot to do with a neglect or lack of understanding of parents with children born with a genetic disposition, sort of half schizophrenic. I have few good friends, but am happy to have some connection to others. Indeed, I would love to be more outgoing, but I crave isolation to work in. Of course, I would figure most people would need a certain amount of time alone to take care of business work. It seems that it is high sensitivity.
Well I have schizotypal disorder, and before i was diagnosed I had social anxiety based on self conciounsness, afraid of being judged negatively by people. Today my anxiety is better, cause of medications and therapy. I am more outgoing and have lot less symptoms of schizotypal, I have chaotic thinking but the social anxiety is not there so much. the main struggle for me is the derealization part. It's like I live in a dream, like things around me feel unreal. can someone relate to this ?
@lissimissi Yes i can relate to the Derealization, when i'm in a socializing with people i'm under great stress and it triggers something in my brain, i automatically start acting eccentrically and talking a lot when i can remember those feelings it feels as if someone was controlling my body and i was dreaming.
I've been bullied all my life and only my closest friends said I was weird. My parents say I'm "abnormal" and I should socialize with people and stop being all by myself just because I believe in ghosts and all those things that people think as fantasies. I've been called weird, but so? I rather be weird than be part of a society who's definition is to be "normal." Maybe that's the reason why I'm more of a loner and paranoid about situations and other people. At least I don't cause trouble.
@clover220 i totally agree with you, and i think it is logical to be paranoid and afraid of people if you had negative experiences with them in teenage years
@clover220 I feel your pain buddy, I believe that everything that happens is a precursor to my destiny, and I believe that somenoe or something is speaking to me telepathically! Ithink things I dont want to think! It only makes sense! and I hate being around people too. Im constantly in fear of what their intentions are. i hate people with dogs especially because dogs have cameras for eyes and theyre monitoring all of us. Do you have a hard time with emotion too?
, i believe the world is all just like a made up reality that isnt real and that things i notice liek numbers all have signs for me but i can never figure it out, i always have these wierd connections with people like i know what theyre thinking, i know what they are about to do, i can predict it even...but i dont feel this is normal i feel like everyone stares at me and notices im differant, and i feel differant from everyone else :/ i just want to know how i can approach my doctor about this?
i think i have schizotypal and borderline personality disorder, ive been depressed for about 10 years,almost commited suicide more then one time i self injure, but i know my thoughts arnt the same as normal people, im very paranoid and nervous, i know my perception of reality is distorted to other peoples, i see things other people dont see and i hear voices
I'm schizotypal and the reason why im so paranoid of people is because most fuckers are hateful bitter normalistic judgemental sobs.. and im highly sensitive to that. screw the normal braindead world of pain and hate. The schizotypal is evolvment from the normal typiclal person of blandness fun and genericness.
I don't know of anyone who doesn't get paranoid and psychotic under undue amounts of stress. Most symptoms can be displayed by normal people under different situations. While I respect what psychologists and psychiatrists do (my brother is a schizophrenic), it is wise for people to see whether they have been under too much stress or personal relationships have been in jeapardy. Also, no one who is truly spiritually awakened will take great pleasure in interacting with others.
Okay, got it too ... Wow, if Jezus lived in this time, he would get the diagnose, and some pill, and he would be normal!!! This kind of mindmanipulations by some docktors who place themselve on gods position, (they would own truth it seems), is really making people sick. It seems that Spiritual expiriances now get diagnosed within the psychiatric world! I'm so glad that many with this diagnose, and know better. I fear for those who didn't understand. The soul has to go the way...
@hotmessify Monsters of the past took people that had different beliefs in camps or killed them, today we call those camps "hospitals" and medicate them. She is nothing but the brain dead modern "regulator" of beliefs. Believe in ESP or a divine entity? Your crazy, take these pills and sit in your padded room. Tomorrow morning I'll come by and talk to you in a patronizing manner, if you get offended by this it means your crazier than I thought.
Yeah just kill me please, I can't stand this world
The paranoid nature also makes them yell and scream do to what they perceive is being done or said. They are Very Very paranoid !! It is rather a more dangerous disorder I think then is readily known today. I've seen it and it is very scary !
All people would have to do is watch some of my videos to see for themselves that I would be a classic case of the schizotypal. As a seemingly typical schizo, I do suffer from severe bouts of depression and considerable to high social anxiety and to this day, I keep saying to myself: "All I want is to feel loved and have friends."
No, this is very true, I have this, and im grateful i recognize it in myself, in that i can control myself and and understand better when i become anxious and paranoid. But, the depression is very, kinda difficult to deal with, i just can't get happy but only for a couple to 5 minutes at a time, maybe twice a day. No meds, just music, art, and escaping to the world in my head. heres some advice: remind yourself what you have, and do your best to put it out of your mind.
What causes it?? All the people in our lives who betrayed us or abandoned us, our minds have defense mechanism, introversion is just one of these natural mechanisms that we are forced into by people schemeing against us or hating on us. They say it is a "disorder" but perhaps it is they who have a disorder.
okay, that means everyone who has ever been addicted to wow developed a personality disorder. WE MUST IDENTIFY THE GENES BEHIND THIS AND FIND A CURE, NO REALLY. DSM-IV and personality disorders are a load of crap, less categorizing behaviour and more common sense please.
@aguarag I'm not sure how WOW relates to schizotypal personality disorder; are you referring to schizoid personality disorder perhaps?
Schizoid PD is the only PD which doesn't quite convince me, as the person who has it is rarely unhappy with their situation, but the others have real, observable problems they cause. It's a blurred line between 'disordered behaviour' and 'non-disordered behaviour', but that doesn't mean the line isn't there!
@AloofPeregrine Amen. I have schizoid personality and avoidant leanings as well. I think a lot of has to do with my screwed up childhood and teenage years. I have learned in my 33 years that you cannot please anyone. If you don't talk much, stay to yourself, and cause noone any trouble then you are labeled a weirdo, yet those same people label those who talk too much trouble makers. If people would mind their own business this world would be such a mess.
that assholes woh label us as "weirdo" are expendable fucking cantainers of forgettableness. we are the people who are to fucucking crazy and break the limits of how to talk and act to kiss and please others asses.
@RetroJenny Careful with that. The world should intrude minimaly in order to ensure that your illness isnt taking you towards suicide. I had this problem of wanting the world to go away, but it almost cost me my life. Allow atleast your direct family to intervene if the situation is dire.
Since I am a person who has been diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder, I can say that she is laying out the majority of the (generalized) symptoms of the disorder, however there are a few things that she may want to reconsider. The paranoia I typically experience isn't one that is similar to a person who is afraid that aliens or zombies are out to get him/her, but rather a strictly social or interpersonal form of paranoia. My individual idiosyncrasies factor into my social anxiety.
i try so hard to get girls. i view myself often as ugly (partly because my asshole friends and brother something tell me that im skinny), but i know that i am very attractive. i've had many girlfriends and ive gotten lots of digits, but i never go on dates or anything. idk wuts wrong. i have like two different personalities. i engage in many sports and activities in which i can express myself, which gets me through my teen life. can u diagnose me, or gimme advice? (look at previous comment).
i think i have a disorder. i have a lot of friends, but they are not very close to me. i try to become close with them, but i never take it a step further. same goes for relationships. when i talk to someone new, i view them as superior, and i try to impress them by speaking carefully. im different then who i am on the outside. i play variations of music in my head over and over and dream of the future regularly. then, sometimes i'll be just the happiest kid and nothign will go wrong. continued>
@videosfromderelix shes so uneducated, yet youre watching her and judging her as if she is. shes right, get over it, and i am skizotypal and i admit she is right. fucking douchebag ((you are))!
I don't give a shit what label you chose to give yourself, she doesn't know shit about the human mind. I am not saying she is uneducated, I am saying she is arrogant.
At least I admit that I don't know everything, you keep hiding behind your labels and taking your fucking pills you sad little brainwashed slave. you make me fucking sick. You sold out your own people.
@OdeToNecrophilia Giving yourself a label and calling yourself defected is not how you grow, it's how someone else breaks you down so your easier to change and control.
Whatever, believe whatever you want. I'm not wasting my time on people that refuse to be saved. If you feel safe in your flock, stay there. Just don't come to me when you realize your Sheppard is leading you to his slaughterhouse.
@OdeToNecrophilia Alright I apologize, I didn't realize that was over a year ago.
I did get unnecessarily judgmental there. Finding out who you are is a hard thing to do because we are all constantly changing in form, spirit (or consciousness if you prefer) and mind. The real problem comes when you allow another human to decide who you are for you.
If you are not sure who you are, how could anyone else possibly know without having all the information?
nevermind so called normals, sometimes they hate being so extroverted and having tons of committments and responsiblities, expectations and frequent dissappointments, and the shopping, the mindless consumerism, the herd mentality. sometimes they wish they could be like us (i'm borderline schizoid). i have the ability to entertain myself for hours inside my own head. 2 centuries from now, mankind will look back on what we are today and classify our culture as insane.
she can't accept the fact that some people aren't interested in things she likes to do, you ever meet those people. well i like sports, why don't you like sports? i like having lots of extroverted activities and meeting new people, why don't you? you must be assimilated. she's insecure about her identity, she needs everyone else to validate her by sharing her interests. well fuck her. my interests are to stay at home, dream, write, study,and philosophize.keep your values and persona to yourself.
i've been judging her as well, and i categorize her as a narcissistic, judgemental bitch, who's over confident in herself and her personality classification scheme. so called schizotypals, if they really exist, may excel at things that are beyond her ability to comprehend.
i think her and her friends just don't like people they can't understand.

@videosfromderelix believing in esp was just a fucking example. hence the "or consult a horoscope" and the "more examples possible" tone of her voice.
ShpinxiLotus23 says they sound like "interesting individuals". My friend, trust me, they are not all that interesting, especially when you are the caregiver for one. Especially when one day the person thinks your nursing infant "doesn't sound like a baby" and asks "are you sure that's a baby?" and then tries to cut their own wrists the next day. That "interesting individual" spent the next three months in the psych ward of a serious hospital. I deal with the paranoia, the suspicions everyday
@xBieberUSmile Yeah I hate it, the more I think about it the worser I feel. Theres nothing I can do, life goes on and I gotta fight through it and not give up. Im kinda getting over it. If you wanna get over it you have to forget about it. Block it from your mind.
@pwnagekills71 Yeah. I hate that im always paranoid. And then at some points you just feel like your gonna go insane. and the feeling of knowing that people really don't understand how we feel. or how we work.
int he DSMV coming out in 2011 this will not be a disorder, and rightfullt so because its not a real personality disorder. its a bunch of random traits stuck together to explain why some are hermits.
What is interesting is to even consider ESP quirky. The subject has been intensely studied in universities and yes, many people with mental illness or not, can or do possess some paranormal abilities.
Even if one does not believe in ESP (or other parapsychology topics) we are getting down to a belief system. Because this doctor or a doctor may not follow such, they will then deem the patient ECCENTRIC for holding those beliefs. So much for being unique in this world.
Seems like each one of these specific disorders could meet the critera for ONE individual. Seems like they're all interconnected. INTP, schizoid, schizotypal, highly sensitve person, Sometimes I wonder why we bother analysing all o dis stuff...
I recieved a full psychiatric evaluation and was told that I was a relatively sane, intelligent and functional person who is at risk of developing this disorder later in life... I wonder if I should be concerned?
I meet the criteria for this disorder; as well as Schizoid PD and Avoidant PD.
There is no such thing as an actual personality disorder, in my opinion. Animals do not have personality disorders, because personality disorder is a man-made concept.
I have avoidant and I'm not complaining. like totoole67 said, it's no fun. and if very specific characteristics and thought processes are peculiar to an unrelated group of people otherwise, there probably is something that's happened to these people... and this stuff can really ruin lives. if people are looking into these idiosyncrasies for OUR benefit, to improve OUR quality of life (and earn a few dollars) what's wrong with that?
I like how this is the only point of mine you bothered acknowledging .. the least relevant one
so are you saying dogs, cats, primates - any animals - have personalities as developed as ours? of course animals have behaviours particular to their species, but they're more instinctive. they've never shown reason for us to classify their behaviours as symptoms of disorders
i'll admit: i'm not truly sure why I said animals don't have personalities at first because I've never decided on that before, but once I did I kind of believe it now.
it depends on how you define personalities. dolphins are intelligent, friendly, etc. and dogs can range from aggressive to shy but I STILL think most are just inherent characteristics, and in the case for dogs, instincts mixed in with conditioned responses (from whichever environments they've been in)
... and toddlers develop personalities later. animal "personalities" are more uniform when they grow up
BTW studies show that dogs can suffer from depression, separation anxiety and PTSD - but I still think these are results of environments rather than distinctive emotions that wouldn't be the same for any other dog...
We got 2 know each other now were frends. Weve helped each other cause I knew if he came across a certain way not to take it seriously so now its easier 4me not 2 take neurotypicals seriously.Schizophrenia & Autism r opposites on the same spectrum.were good abt thinking abt the world outside & aspies the world inside.There was a time I knew nothing abt myself bsides that I existed & even questiond that.I got lost in a myriad of different perspectives. Now I think Im starting 2 figure out my own.
This is me. Cept I love all the fun aspects of socializing more than most. The only thing I h8 is anxiety¶noia.
Our minds think so abstract we make all these associations & think of every possible interpretation of a situation then worry if the remote negative 1s r true. Overtime Ive learned 2 start dismissing paranoid thoughts but it still takes effort. I think were the opsite of aspergers. They think concrete we think abstract. I met an aspie when he dscrbd his problems I almost cried.
My psychiatrist told me I have schizotypal personality disorder, which makes sense in the mental aspects delusions, hallucinations, paranoia. But one of the symptoms is no close friends, which isn't true with me. It sounds like thats a big part of the diagnosis, so I'm not so sure why I was told I have that.
Um... I have schizotypal personality disorder... Unfortunately, I am required to take a high dose of antipsychotics to keep me in line. Under stressful situations, I do exhibit the temporary psychosis she described and have had thoughts of doing bad things... Every once in a while, I get something like a "evil conscience." I don't necessarily hear voices or see things that aren't there, but I exhibit some of the pre-symptoms of schizophrenia as well...
@noswanson1982 same here , although i do hear voices mostly on phones when theres a pause in the conversation or outside when theres alot of background noise my mind will fill in the blanks usally with something negative or odd is how i learned to distiguish it i sometimes have visual episodes too mostly bodly hallucinations,insects,bubbles,time can speed up or slow down at a rapid rate although i refuse to take my medication , i look like ive seen a ghost when im around people is what i hate
@mucker3001 i was diagnosed in 2002 was trapped in a space and couldnt move or talk to anyone which lasted for around 3 months before that i was perfectly normal i think heh
@noswanson1982 F these medications I took Risperdal as well, I learned that my schizotypal pd is a gift it's like ad/hd but then creative in overdrive. I missed waking up with poems in my mind i missed my sensitivity i missed being able to sense aura's, I am not quite sure it is a disorder really it's close to having something extra, gift. and the social anxiety had everything to do with how society is, people with stpd are often very social, it's just how society pushes people like me away.
The only time I want to be around people if it's something I want to do, other than that, I can care less about any thing other than my interest and prefer to be alone. This woman is silly in this video. I don't believe in the paranormal, even though it's an interesting topic.
i have schizoaffective disorder, although its possible an updated Dx could yield something like schizotypal PD. what she said is accurate and in my experience most people in the field have very serious reasons for treating mental illness, and genuinely wish to restore a good quality of life to those of us that battle these lifelong illnesses
Yes. I agree with hotmessify. All psychiatrist are shitty. Trying only to make people take lots of medicines. Just to make some money... A lot of money.
Hmm...is it possible for these individuals to shatter the supposed limitations? A significant disadvantage it is when negotiating wit' society's general demands, but I like to think that they're jus' as much as capable as the average 'n healthy citizen...
Or am I jus' childishly idealistic? : / Cringed at the career limitation part of the grocery list.
Its canny scary how much of these "traits" i fall into.
the only two i dont fall under is the "irrational beliefs(like believing in ghosts or owt)" and i also have some close friends altho i can still get anxious around em
people that don't wanna be normal think they're elite because being abnormal is rare?

Well I have schizotypal disorder, and before i was diagnosed I had social anxiety based on self conciounsness, afraid of being judged negatively by people. Today my anxiety is better, cause of medications and therapy. I am more outgoing and have lot less symptoms of schizotypal, I have chaotic thinking but the social anxiety is not there so much. the main struggle for me is the derealization part. It's like I live in a dream, like things around me feel unreal. can someone relate to this ?

@lissimissi Yes i can relate to the Derealization, when i'm in a socializing with people i'm under great stress and it triggers something in my brain, i automatically start acting eccentrically and talking a lot when i can remember those feelings it feels as if someone was controlling my body and i was dreaming.

I've been bullied all my life and only my closest friends said I was weird. My parents say I'm "abnormal" and I should socialize with people and stop being all by myself just because I believe in ghosts and all those things that people think as fantasies. I've been called weird, but so? I rather be weird than be part of a society who's definition is to be "normal." Maybe that's the reason why I'm more of a loner and paranoid about situations and other people. At least I don't cause trouble.

I don't know of anyone who doesn't get paranoid and psychotic under undue amounts of stress. Most symptoms can be displayed by normal people under different situations. While I respect what psychologists and psychiatrists do (my brother is a schizophrenic), it is wise for people to see whether they have been under too much stress or personal relationships have been in jeapardy. Also, no one who is truly spiritually awakened will take great pleasure in interacting with others.

Schizoid PD is the only PD which doesn't quite convince me, as the person who has it is rarely unhappy with their situation, but the others have real, observable problems they cause. It's a blurred line between 'disordered behaviour' and 'non-disordered behaviour', but that doesn't mean the line isn't there!

Since I am a person who has been diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder, I can say that she is laying out the majority of the (generalized) symptoms of the disorder, however there are a few things that she may want to reconsider. The paranoia I typically experience isn't one that is similar to a person who is afraid that aliens or zombies are out to get him/her, but rather a strictly social or interpersonal form of paranoia. My individual idiosyncrasies factor into my social anxiety.

What is interesting is to even consider ESP quirky. The subject has been intensely studied in universities and yes, many people with mental illness or not, can or do possess some paranormal abilities.
Even if one does not believe in ESP (or other parapsychology topics) we are getting down to a belief system. Because this doctor or a doctor may not follow such, they will then deem the patient ECCENTRIC for holding those beliefs. So much for being unique in this world.

so are you saying dogs, cats, primates - any animals - have personalities as developed as ours? of course animals have behaviours particular to their species, but they're more instinctive. they've never shown reason for us to classify their behaviours as symptoms of disorders
genericusername337 1 year ago
@genericusername337
It's been demonstrated, during intelligence tests, that primates/dogs/cats have similar amount of intelligence to toddlers.

Okay here.
i'll admit: i'm not truly sure why I said animals don't have personalities at first because I've never decided on that before, but once I did I kind of believe it now.
it depends on how you define personalities. dolphins are intelligent, friendly, etc. and dogs can range from aggressive to shy but I STILL think most are just inherent characteristics, and in the case for dogs, instincts mixed in with conditioned responses (from whichever environments they've been in)
