Um....so ya. I know my parents would never take me to the psychiatrist, they wouldn't want to believe it. I've been studying different disorders all day, I find it all very interesting. Especially D.I.D. (Dissasociative Identity Disorder).....
Well anyways. I am 13 and find myself with a few schizotypal qualities. I hate situation with many people I am not familiar with. I fear that I will say something stupid or do something that they find strange. I hide it by pretending to resent everyone. I have a few close friends. We are considered a very odd group but they understand me better than even my own family. I tell them of my fears and my "ecentric" theories on people's perception of time.


I've been told to have a talent for acting, which I have never found myself to be all that great in. But I like it a lot so I've been in several plays. I enjoy playing the piano and writing songs. They seem to express me and I feel they help me understand myself.

I often get very confused with my own personality. I go in and out of strange stages. For a while I was girly/goody, then tomboy, then goth, and now....ya I never understand what's happening to me at the moment. I have my friends tell me how I was acting after leaving a certain phase.

Ya. I have always been planning into my future. Right now I want to be a psychologist and work phycosis and personality disorders. I have had been researching all this stuff for a while.....

So ya, um, ask me questions and stuff. Help me figure something out.

i scored very high in schizotypal too, i think its one of the very interesting disorders, people with it are usually really creative & mysteriously interesting :)

its probably more difficult dealing with it at your age as hormones will just exaggerate it like crazy, but i would just embrace the positive parts of it & try to slowly deal with the parts that are unpleasant.

you sound like you change your outlook lots, i think thats a positive thing & can really help widen your horizons,
do you find things difficult to finish though? like getting into something only to find something else that interests you more?

I am obese to the point that i need to have a gastric bypass. I blame the fact that my mother hated me and put me in boarding school. i only ever came home at christmas. i ate to get fatter to annoy her. it was the only thing i could ever control. I know everyone i work with hates me because i criticise everyone about everything and yet i seem ot be able to do all of their work as well as my own. i think i should be the boss but no one else agrees. what is wrong with them?

Nothing is wrong with them. If you really don't see the problem then obviously something wrong with you because I see it already

Okay, kind of panicking here. So I'm 31, and I've been trying desperately to find out what the F____ is wrong with me for a couple years now (at the behest of my fiancee). Only NOW I come across this seemingly innocuos self-test (which generally I don't believe in) and I get very high ( in bright red letters) for schizotypal. 1 - what is this? 2 - Why is it so damned accurate? 3 - Oh s---, is this going to get worse?

I got a score of very high for schiziod, everything I answered was true but idk what to think, im 17, I find myself antisocial even though ppl try to talk to me but have few close friends, Id rather watch ppls actions and listen and have little to say, The same thoughts go over in my head and I find myself having internal conversations constantly, I have low social skills and low confidence, im always so paranoid and have insomnia prob bc my stress level is so high, I get headaches and pains everyday, what can I do or is it all in my head..
