[Absurd]

Many of the answers were directly related to the social stigmas faced and dealt/dealing with over 20 years.
Some were related to my spiritual beliefs.
And some related to my insecurities.
None of my answers would lead me to think schizotypal.


What were your answers, ckc?

I'd be the disorganized subtype (if it is even a subtype? The reading I'v done uses the term "facet"). Loss of will power, disturbed sense of self and self-ownership, rambling speech, difficulty focusing. Similarly with you, it explains the difficulties I've had in life so far :/ What hurts me is that I've complained about these problems to mental health professionals before and only one of them picked it up.

Interesting test.

Similarly with you, it explains the difficulties I've had in life so far :/ .

Actually, in my case, I was saying that the difficulties I've had led to some of the answers I gave. Iow, in my case, the difficulties explain the 'symptoms', rather than a schizotypal disorder explaining them. But I'm guessing that for you, as you said, the disorder may explain the difficulties you've had.

CKC, does viewing this disorder as explaining some of your difficulties help you? Does it clear things up for you? Help you feel less...well, less 'disordered'?

Cat, I hope you don't mind my saying that it seems like lately you're able to find yourself easily in various types and descriptions, and I'm not sure ... are any of these the real you? I'm not trying to be harsh--it happens. And maybe you're schizotypal IRL (I can't say, haven't met you), but on this forum, you don't come across that way imo. To me, you seem clear and engaging and aware of others.
