Amazing the bridge between schizotypy, creativity and adaptation. What is saving the individual is the creativity, it is the possibly to create a self when there is none, it is possibility to confabulate to make a cohesive narrative. Being a very creative child, I was using my creativity to go through life difficult situations. Not to live in an alternate reality I had to grownd myself (creativity management instead of emotional management), to grow up. Visual arts, sciences, music....is a channel for it. We are using creativity to fixe the problem of the self. We can make a self that is true to reality or one that is not. In both cases we are the maker of the self.
Thank you, Dr. Vaknin, for explaining that the personality disorder of the patients is what separates them from psychosis and schizophrenia. This has been the greatest revelation to me and it is heart-wrenching.
In zoology animal "cuteness" increases survival across species boundaries. In American early childhood education, teachers often say, "God made children so cute, so you don't kill them."
When you say most personality disorders except maybe borderline.and dependent can be reversed, does that include avoidantPD? Are avpd people just failed, less intense narcisist's who are doomed to be asocial but actually crave relationships and social connections?
Another fantastic presentation. Thank you. I have 2 female coworkers, both in their late 30's,without children or partners, and still live at home with the parents. Neither is unattractive. They are both immature. One displays a lot of magical thinking. I wonder if she might be on BPD spectrum. I wonder if neotiny would lead to population decrease. Now that could be useful!
Well! I am living with my parents and single and a virgin. I feel like a man child sort of speak. I am afraid to work but not because I fee entitled or superior but because I feel I going to be a burden to the company as I do not any experience on job. My mother think I am bless but I do not feel like it cuaseI feel like a space wasted oppurtunities.Doyou have any advice get away from these rediculous fear. I think I am over protected, Thus, leading me to fear everything and have an abnormal range of anxiety.I feel so unpreparedto life and quite frankly I repressed my emotions because my problems are nothing compare to other people who got it worst than me. I do not resent my parents they did what they could with me. But I think they overprotect me because they did not have good childhoods and they do not want me to pass the experience. They are unaware of damage they are causing me . I feel gullty because I did nothing or make escuses to not move out my life. I have Usher syndrome type II.
Take care not to pathologize the behavior of others. You don't and, most likely, won't ever "know". Diagnoses are tricky enough to make when working with someone directly, much less from the outside. Perhaps either fall more along the lines of labelling people under the assumption that their behavior is "wrong" when they're people you don't know well enough or haven't directly spoken to. If someone isn't hurting you directly, their internal processes shouldn't even matter that much to you.
Im still trying to figure out how does schizotypal personality protect one from schizophrenia? I can understand it being a protective, early formed, narcissistic trait/maladapted coping mechanism, but I dont se the logic/mechanism as to how it protects an adult. A "normal" adult, with a fully matured brain, unlike a child, is able to process repressed bad memories. So then how can one descend i to schozophrenia unless there are hardware propensities/genetic defects. In other words a fully formed "normal" individual can only be awakened albeit through a crisis once he touches his schizoid core. Unless, again, there are serious underlying inherited/congenital LATENT ilnesses that are already there but drugs or environment agitated just something that was already there. Regarding drugs, I donno. There have been promising results with psilocybin, 5meo dmt, NN DMT, Ibogaine, and so forth.

There's a difference between "childish" and "childlike".

The more often i am having fun the more child like i am

30:00 I will search these people
Hmmm word salad more
psychotic rather than narcissistic...
Can PD be protecting someone from DID, instead of Skitzofrania?
Just when I thought I couldn’t emote more praise then came this= “Religion is a mental disorder END OF STORY.”
OH the gushing @39:35
