- This video describes Schizotypal Personality Disorder. Schizotypal Personality Disorder is in Cluster A in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). This is the same cluster as Paranoid Personality Disorder and Schizoid Personality Disorder. Schizotypal Personality Disorder is characterized by ideas of reference, odd beliefs, unusual perceptions, odd thinking or speech (e.g. elaborate, metaphorical, vague), paranoid ideation, inappropriate and constricted affect, peculiar behavioral appearance, lacking close friends, and social anxiety. Both disorders are characterized by lack of close friends and unusual affect. The ideas of reference criterion lacks delusional conviction. The odd speech criterion does not rise to the level of incoherence. Schizotypal Personality Disorder affects males more often than females. The prevalence of Schizotypal Personality Disorder is about 4%. Schizotypal Personality Disorder is comorbid with Major Depressive Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder, Schizoid Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Odd perception does not mean incorrect perception. As long as I can remember, I noticed some things before anyone else would. And I would often miss what they found obvious.
I’m just gonna say that I definitely have this disorder. But my job as being a full time private investigator has really helped me out a lot with letting out my negative and suspicious mental reasoning. Being a private Investigator created an outlet for me to express my true self. Before I took on this position I worked many many jobs that wouldn’t last long and I would spend days and nights studying astrology and other spiritual and religious beliefs.
That pentagram! Wait, i might be reading too much into that
It bothered me too ...*nervous laughter* it's neither here nor there...maybe he's testing us
DeltaWorld Publishing first thing I noticed too! Rather ironic given the subject matter...
Maybe not, Psychology is perhaps mankind's effort to deny spiritual dimension (s).
To normal people it is simply a fucking star dude...
Satisfaction Therapy this is not a star, it is a Pentangle of Death 💀
Schizotypal seems like such a hell to have, that life can seem like heaven after recovering from it. I developed near non-attachment to my own opinions after I learned that I had been wrong about everything. I can sometimes convince someone else of a nifty idea, then change my mind 3m later.
It’s interesting to see how psychiatrists in different counties classify the same disorder differently.
In North America STPD is considered a personality disorder, but in the rest of the world, not so much. In ICD-10 it’s called “schizotypal disorder”, and in the Russian/Soviet school of psychiatry it was (and occasionally still is) called “sluggish schizophrenia” or “slow progressing schizophrenia”.
I've been diagnosed with this disorder and I don't feel any of this applies to me at all. I'm so confused
The way my eyes flew open when you said more social interaction = more social anxiety. over the years i've tried to thrust myself into social settings, thinking the exposure would help lessen the anxiety but it has never worked. makes so much more sense now after this video, thank you dr. grande. There isn't much to be found on this disorder and you do a brilliant job of introducing it.
I was diagnosed with this disorder and among the symptoms they also mentioned an extreme loss of energy which they do always see in their patients with this disorder (me included) which often leads to disability because people are so anxious and drained of energy that they can't work
Do you think schizotypal/schizoid could be developed from narcissistic family abuse? What if you had a covert narcissistic mother who made you codependent and scapegoated you in the family and the gas lighting and blame shifting was bad? You would develop these traits... i mean it almost seems like this diagnosis is one of their blame shifting tactics to take the focus off the real problem; narcissistic parents/family. Its sort of Ying and Yang, depending on who's view, Psychosis (from being schizoid/schizptypal) or PTSD? (from narcissistic abuse) Probably both
Had borderline personality mom, can confirm..
I have been diagnosed with schizotypal and borderline. I have had short episodes of psychosis and have had severe depression in the past. I know that they say personality disorders develop through childhood and adolescence and I think that the borderline traits did but I feel as though I've been schizotypal my whole life.
Struggling socially and not having many friends, the social anxiety, I've always dressed differently and acted strangely so I got bullied at school for it, hearing voices and seeing demonic figures, and being paranoid about others is what I've been like for as long as I can remember.
I've always been told that I'm doing it for attention when attention has always been the last thing I wanted. I tried really hard to force myself to act normally, but I never can, it just causes more stress when I do. Also, I had Selective Mutism when I was really young so maybe that's what triggered it off? Is it common for people with schizotypal to have had that as a kid?
Borderline traits seem common in STPD, is it really a separate comorbidity? Or at least they /can/ manifest in similar ways with different causes. If you compare DSM codes this may not be seen, but they have actual similarities. I find schizotypy is mistaken for all manner of things unless you are the stereotypical UFOlogist tin foil hat wearer or that guy with a multicoloured dress sense being known as the unnaproachable eccentric (which is probably a lazy stereo type anyway)
i was diagnosed with 2 pds also, bpd and avpd. it's really hard to deal with TWO personality disorders so i truly feel for you but i've given up on acting "normal" as long as i'm not hurting myself or others i've just decided to accept myself 💖
@@jorgepeterbarton borderline and stpd have different reasons for having/avoiding relationships. STPD become well adjusted alone while borderline seeks attachment that more likely ends up chaotic... words like "I hate you, dont leave me". especially with an unbalanced partner
Imo, schizotypal schizoid may be neurodevelopmental.
Theee, best , theee absolute best description of schizotypal I've ever seen from whatever you are.
I suffer from schizotypal personality disorder myself (aswell) and it makes living really hard thanks for helping me clarify
if I have it I've done so many tests now that I'm fairly sure I have it need to go see one of those psychologist people
to get it officially diagnosed :D.
A doctor will help you and just know there's nothing "wrong" with you, your brain just works differently
The best? No offense but this was just litteraly taken from the dsm 5 psychological handbook. It's just a part of the schizophrenic spectrum.. And can develop in a lot of different eccentric ways, formed by very specific personal interests.,manners and having very odd speech/thinking patterns.
So many disorders my goodness.
I enjoy the way you are never confused about criteria and Criterion. I taught English as a second language and still sub in a small College and certain things ring Hollow when used improperly.
I like that you don't confuse the two words or stumble through making Corrections. You're easy to listen to
Thank you so much!
This is the very first video of yours that I watched. This video was so helpful because I was trying to understand someone I knew and I never heard of this condition before. After many months being a subscriber, it’s quite nostalgic coming back to this video:)🙂
Thank you Dr. Grande!❤️
This is a good explanation spot on ! Thanks !! Even doctors can be confused about this diagnose.
Thank you for your really nice way of explaining in your videos
Hey Dr. Grande, I'm curious, because I've theorized I may have Aspergers, but I also have some traits that align with schizotypal personality disorder. My question is, could it be possible that this personality disorder is actually just a form of high functioning autism?
I needed deep social exposure to have my suspicions about other people be utterly disproven. The trigger: a crush I had never opened up to, and the end of high school looming with the suspicion that I was never going to see any of these people anymore- hence low risk. Also, being fed up of inhibiting myself for so long. The shattering of my bubble, and distorted lens with which I saw the world, was shocking and beautiful.
Could you do a video on how to differentiate between schizotypal personality disorder, Asperger's syndrome and borderline personality disorder? Many of their symptoms are very similar and they are commonly misdiagnosed.
Hey! The reason I wear stained and slightly unmatching clothes is because I'm poor and grew up poor! If I had more time or money, I'd buy newer clothes that matched my otherwise strong fashion sense. (Well, if only I thought of it. Honestly, shopping bores the hell out of me.)
The aspergers of schizophrenia
My thoughts exact.
Wow, thank you so much. I suffer from schizotypal disorder (severely) and a few other mental illnesses. Thank you for this video
I have used this example to people I know of an example of the speech pattern of my friend who said he has schizotypal personality disorder. Would anyone say if this is kind of what's meant by the description Dr. Grande gave about the speech pattern?
Me: Want to go bowling on Friday?
Friend: It is an interesting phenomena when the exchange of ideas is such that the interplay evokes substantial change in one's own state of being. This brings to mind the idea that one must always question the role of everyday activities in the accidental exchange of information and whether such exchange is happening in the optimal environment. The influx of a particular stimuli at a given time and place can forever alter the course of events. When conversation commences in fits and starts, such conversation can result in unforseen and unintended misunderstandings.
Me: How about we go get dinner instead? Then we can just talk.
oh my god. this is exactly h0w i talk. a little more casual of course but when im asked to do things or hang out i mostly want to say "it is interesting you are asking me to partake in this activity, i guess i will do this if only to strengthen our social relationship"
@Broccoli yeah, I often wonder if we are actually just people who have a more evolved form of conciousness than others so to them we seem detached from reality when its actually them who are detached from the true reality. But then again this view point only serves to perpetuate their ideas of our sanity..
@@laylashoemaker4711 Being in denial of your condition won't get you anywhere, keep your magical philosophy to yourself. I'm a schizoaffective who's fully rehabilitated and rational, all you're doing is being skeptical of the truth.

Before i had seriously readen about Schizotypal, I thought I had been Avoidant. But Schizotypal is no partial description of my childhood- it's a dead ringer.
ASD Adhd ptsd & Sztpd here. The amount of times I’ve also disassociated, it’s almost frightening. Sometimes I thought I was approaching how I exist in society as how an actor goes about designing a character. I’ve also spent years and years in my own world. I’ve never really know what it’s like to just go thru life like whatever with people wanting you and including you, being rewarded for your talents, doing ‘normal’ things, having lots of dates/relationships/marriage etc, I’ve got no idea what being within those societal things/capitalist things is like. Sometimes I’ve even felt like I don’t exist. I’ve noticed the individual vs the location they are in for sure makes a difference. If I’m in a city where the energy is more my kinda place, I feel more like I’m a real person who is safe. Now I’m older I’ve also reached a point where I can tell the difference between SzTP not real stuff and real psychic angelic stuff. I think I can now also stop a SzTP ‘flare’ coming on, or regicnise when its triggered, like paranoia Mind clutter building up etc. Also have to be strict not to eat foods that contribute to psychosis/watch my diet, cuz getting low in Vit D induced a severe psychosis episode in the past too. Yes to omega3, fish, iodine, protein, no to sugar, starchy carbs and garbage. No alcohol or mind bending substances either. In fact I’ve never needed mind bending trippy drugs, cuz my brain is already like that. Lol
I’m extremely creative and imaginative , and by doing creative activities of expression, that’s HELPS a lot. Also ironically being SzTP type kinda saved me too, cuz the extreme loneliness and feeling nobody wants to be with me, but I feel angelic beings and elementals all around in daily life, those Beings love me and have stopped me dying before. Ok yeah ‘Invisable friends’ but I feel connected to them and they love me, so that gives me a feeling of safety and worth living. 🦄✨🌟🧚🏻🧞♂️🧝🏼♂️🧝🏻♀️👽🟣🛸🌈
Thank you so much for providing this information. You explained it in the best way that I have heard. My therapist suggested that my fiancé may have schizotypal personality disorder, or at a minimum traits of this disorder. My fiancé has few close relationships (myself, his daughter and his dad), uses unusual speech, has ideas of reference and some paranoia. For example, he is extremely private and worries that Microsoft is spying on him through Windows. He also frequently believes he knows what other people are thinking, especially about him. I had no idea that 50% of people with schizotypal personality disorder have depression. My fiancé has dark periods of depression and can be very difficult to be around. He is very hot and cold with me and can be the most loving, attentive man or cold, distant and rude. I have suggested that he see a mental health professional for his depression, and he is too private and suspicious to commit to going to see a therapist or doctor. I love him dearly and want to understand what he is going through and how I can better support him.
Hello, dr Grande! I would love to hear a comprehensive review of Schizotypal Personality Disorder. Can You do a long video about this phenomenon? Greetings from Poland, Europe!
Was diagnosed with this about 5 years ago...I'm not sure it was an accurate diagnosis, but the closest a mental health professional has ever come to figuring out what's going on in my head. I am just wondering: does schizotypal personality disorder encompass very infrequent, stress-related personality splits? My fiance tells me it happens when I am going through a very rough period in my life and only about once or twice per "episode." I am wondering if this is all related?
If this wasn't interesting, it would be good ASMR video helping me fall asleep.
The white and black pattern on your dog picture looks like a peace sign.
Here's something that's actually falsifiable:
Demonstrate that Disorder X *cannot* be caused by being diagnosed with something from the DSM and then treated by ignoring the True Cause of the distress.
Dr. Grande I like your taste in interior decorating when it comes to Christmas celebrations. Would a person who hates living in a city instead of a small town or village and who try to hide how much they hate Christmas decorations by throwing them out as soon as someone puts them without asking permission from them first as head of the household be a sign of Schizotypal Personality Disorder and would that trying to cover up their irrational fear felt whenever seeing Christmas decorations by yelling and telling the person who put it up that they cannot do anything right or whatever while they are tearing them all down in such a dramatic life or death manner be a lot greater sign of the disorder than say a patient who is feeling too tired and achy for going to after 7 pm parties in the common room in the dorm and so harried that they sometimes feel like they cannot remember well enough which hallway they need to turn into? Does Schizotypical Personality disorder affect more people in some minorities and geographical areas than in others or would that be most of the time a misdiagnosis? For example in the past people from the Romani culture tended to not bother keeping up with fashion as much as other people do and they have different cultural beliefs around romance, dating and marriage than people from other cultures do which could be misconstrued as being a personality disorder if the person seeking help was suffering from real persecution like what happens in dowry dispute domestic violence situations.
De Grande, do artists and cientists fall according to the DSM, with into a perssonality dissorder of any type? Since they often times percive reality different and think " outside the norm, as you mention? As you mention here and in other vídeos, if so, who decides rhe normal sane way of thinking? Many rimes in history broadlooking people has been seing dangerous allrhough they prove to be right after all. Thanks again for all the good light tou bring.
Regarding the desire to build close relationships; As I've understood it the person with STPD does desire close relationships but is unable to make it work. Whereas the schizoid has no interest in close relationships.
I want a long lasting , elaborate sexual bonding with another person but I don't really care about the relationship parts of it just the experience design / engineering and making sure their treated okay, making them food,etc.
It's like I want eccentric bondings with people at least for me even my moms like why do you want to
have these eccentric relationships with people and I'm like because that's who I am lol.
I'm schizotypal : )
Hi Rosa. I'm diagnosed with STPD too (not really sure whether or not I agree with the diagnosis but that's another matter). And I do desire relationships with people. I'm just not good at making and maintaining them. I often find myself being too emotionally invested in the relationships which puts a strain on them and my friends and wanting to be able to connect intensely with people while at the same time being uncomfortable doing just that. Which has lead to a lot of loneliness on my behalf. Some of that is probably due to the fact I have mild social anxiety and a tendency to get paranoid and look for signs confirming my fear that the other person(s) might not like me.
I was diagnosed with Derealization my dad had Schizophrenia. By had I mean he died but I really think I have this because I’m not sure if I should or should not be thinking certain things that I think. I feel like I can feel people’s intentions and I feel like I get information from someone somewhere and I’m afraid someone can steal my thoughts but is that Spirituality or Mental problem I’m not to sure I have self isolated for 2.5 years, pushed everyone away because they have hurt me.
Oof sounds like this
I'll have to wait a year for help, any advice?
Another Q here: you always mention 1% or 2% or 3% or so % of 100 has this PD, if you add all these % of all these PD, how many of 100% people has a PD according to the DSM? They seem to be a lot. And are these 100% messure globally or in the USA? Thanks again.
What if I'm diagnosed as schizotypal and antisocial at the same time? I would like to treat schizotypal personality disorder, but let me know if it could change especially that I have awareness of this disorder.
I really appreciate your content dr grande, you seem extremely knowledable in your field. Anxiety keeps me from wanting to engage with mh self help services like colleges, but your UA-cam content is informative enough to encourage mindfulness and self awareness. I'd appreciate it if you could help me with some self awareness _ q. do I, or can I, for example move from one pd. from cluster a, to a different pd in cluster b if triggered, then onto a third into cluster c, c being the worst result. For instance I've noticed a pattern in the past where I have craved an amazing delusional outcome, which ultimately, when it's finally denied, lead to me attempting to aquire it unlawfully bt when I'm discovered and punished or reprimanded I became aggressive because of lack of understanding from family and friends for the yearn craved at beginning. the original pd. need. ultimately leading to the anti social behavior, and worse.
Why does it feel like you’ve described me?
Dr. Grande, have you had any schizotypal clients? If so, can you talk about them (insofar as you are allowed to)? I am schizotypal and would like to see how others who are like me think and behave. There's a subreddit for schizotypals but it is not very active
Hi, I am schizotypal
@@brooktaraaxo7385 ok
Thank you for this!
You are quite welcome -
Sounds like my ex, I thought she had a personality disorder (I have BPD and this). She thought she could magically heal me and detect my thoughts from miles away. Had me believing it too. Shit..
I delivered pizzas for two years on the weekends. A fellow worker, I will call Randy. Not his real name. He thought I was a Dr and was there to help him. Rodney was a pizza cook in his early 20s. He confided in me that his x roommate was secretly trying to set him up to get him in prison. He said when he went to the mall he would however see him but hear him and believed he was following him. at work he was pretty normal except for a week every month, he would get into verbal arguments with other employees. A few other guys there did not like him.
His back ground was he was raised by a single mom, had very little contact with his dad. He had a very pretty girlfriend just out of high school but it didn't last.
I assumed he had a mold for of schizophrenia. I told him if the x roommate who was a male non sexual type of roommate even tried to cause him to go to prison he would surely fail. This did not help of course. His dad came to town to visit him. He confided in his dad about what he believed about his roommate, he told me his dad told him the same thing I did and coming from his dad it really helped him.
someone suggested i might have this, so i looked it up and clicked this video, and then i saw the pentacle. i was thinking, this video was made for me. that is a sign (since i m a pagan) and then you talk about that way of thinking in this disorder. Fuck lol
does this mean.. i was right?
So now you have that pentagram for decor, u a witch, u testing or is it there to just be there? Looks cool af hope u a fellow witch :)
I have studied the criteria for this disorder extensively, having been dx'ed in 2013. I'm 44 years old. The question is: what is the best therapy? the best med? I am receiving CBT currently, and I find myself not getting any better. The Zoloft and Abilify are also not helping, at all.
Crimson King CBT is just a placebo.
@Elizabeth Collier thank you, I have been wanting to know good ways to cope with my schizotypal disorder and other disorders as well
The author does not explain why this disorder is considered to be a disorder. Does average patient with such a disorder lives worse than an average healthy person?
"They may see something on the news and think that they caused it, or their thinking caused it" - it seems like you've just described religion
ASPD traits are a common comorbidity too.
Im diagnosed Schizotypal and this description is pretty accurate. But I always think people can get some ideas wrong. At the end, at least to me personally, this disorder been just the result of not being great on social interactions, and emotions of inferiirity, and being weird, and having weird interests. Just that. Its not so much about schizophrenia and irrational thoughts
This video is very informative but I would say that many with schizotypal personality desire friendships but struggle to connect, and isolate without meaning to... I didn't know my friend was getting kicked out by their family until 2 weeks before and they metioned it casually.
Too many times have i been woken up by whispering, someone saying my name or some other word, or just straight up screaming. All with very unnatural sounding voices
Dr Grande, I've seen some of the UA-cam psychiatric channels, say that Schizotypal can turn into schizophrenia
But is that really the case because it seems like
This personality disorder, is distinct from schizophrenia?
What happens if you do end up with schizotypal and schizophrenia at the same time ? You will probably get more overlaping symptoms maybe?
The diagnosis is only as good as the education and experience of the doctor/therapist and how they personally perceive what you are telling them.
Can ambivalence be a symptom of the schizotypal personality disorder?
when i was first diagnosed with schizotypal, i looked it up and saw someone express it as feeling like a failed schizophrenic.. which was my first thought. i felt right at home with it.
Yep, got a little bit of this, a little bit of that, A LOT of that, and I'm spun
They had me as severe schizo typal....then it was proven that they were actually out to get me and ruined my life on purpose.
Weird, eh? Now, just 50k in lawyers fees and a crap load of work and I can have a life back! 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is so hard to find any kind of layman's info about this disorder. Something like someone documenting their observations, a mother's thoughts about raising a child with this disorder, anything like that. Maybe case studies. It's hard for me to relate the criteria from the DSV(?) with real life. I'm not trying to diagnose anyone. (I know someone with the disorder.) I'm trying to understand it from the context of a non-professional interacting with someone like this. How do they do at jobs? I'm forever surprised that my friend was able to hold down a job....not sure how he did it. How do they manage should they have children. Do they ever get married? (Seems unlikely to me.) What is like being married to someone like this? What kinds of misunderstandings might arise from talking with someone with this disorder. I've hardly understood a word my friend has said since I met him 34 years ago (but he's always endlessly interesting....seems like he's talking philosophy even when paying the pizza guy).
yes, i have been told i seem to philosophize about every interaction as well. i think i'd be a good parent as i tend to adapt to what is needed from me. maybe a good wife as well. not to say i wouldn't feel held down or wonder if that is the person i want to see me die. misunderstandings come from not noticing i'm only attempting to make a comment about the world when talking about myself, and i dont want to actually talk about what i concretely said. mostly the concept.
I was diagnosed with this...
Define clairvoyance and telepathy.
WHY IS THIS A DISORDER?
I SEE..AM LIVING... the DIS-EASE Thay comes with some of it but who gets to say that "magical thinking" is the
"Dis"ordered way?
I'm not being an asshole? I'm being sincere. I really enjoy my brain and think I'm fascinating . 🤦♀️😉 but I am a seeker and want to better relate to the journey!
You are gifted and excellent. I e been at this for ages and you speak very clearly in a way I can hear+ thank you
Watching this vidéo because I believe I may have met someone with that disorder Yesterday. Strange encounter.
Whoops I had, had a question but I think you covered it 8)
I feel like James Eagan Holmes might fall within this type.
Examples of each area would really have helped. I'd like an example of a way in which someone with this disorder has perceived an event differently, for example.
This is a great point. I remember when I was making this video, it seemed like more examples would have been helpful. Some of the symptom criteria for Schizotypal Personality Disorder are esoteric. I recorded a video today in which I provide examples and more detail for each of the symptom criteria. Thank you for the feedback and the idea for another video!
Still a very informative video. I suppose you have to weigh details against length. It was still detailed. (I have a friend with schizotypal personality disorder, and have always wanted to understand him better. "Friend" is an odd word, because he only contacts me every few years or so and acts like no time has passed, and now I understand better why that is :-) I'll take a look at the other one. And thanks for posting these.
I didn't see the new video. Is it posted yet? I'll check again tomorrow. I don't expect you to respond, but in case you do, have a question. To be a personality disorder, my understanding is that the behaviors have to cause some significant problem for the person suffering from it or cause suffering for those the know (please correct me if wrong). (If it was causing no problem, one would assume it wouldn't be called a disorder.) What types of problems do people suffering from schizotypal personality disorder encounter or cause? I watched this yesterday, so I've probably already forgotten. Did you say they may suffer from depression due to the illness?
do starseeds fall into this?
When I was a kid, I thought that dinosaurs were out to get me, and that I'd catch the kooties if a girl kissed me. I persuaded all the boys to be afraid of the kooties... and of dinosaurs, on occasion.
Wow, sounds like synchronicity, law of attraction, and traumatic bullying in childhood's residue ... that's why I don't like the DSMV sometimes, it seems to not incorporate culture as in the good old "malocchio" ..if you know what I mean....Grande...and being raised by people who didn't have even a grade 6 education. Could have meant, not geting real explanations but made up ones by your godly caregivers. Not to mention, the hearing, what of CAP-D... which is undiagnosed so their imaginations has come up with a bunch of "narratives" to fill in the blanks. Their lingo may be due to "helicopter" parents who they had to create their own lingo for in order to hold on to some semblance of self in childhood and now as adults it's set in stone ... as far as flat affect, could it be downright holding in to their "true" self because every time they just acted like "themselves" they'd end up with a back hand across their mouths? ... Not saying, just saying. Can you do a presentation to "explain" that law of attraction? Or is that old news now? :) Also, one more thing, the clothing, it seems they were shopping at Value Village before it became "vogue" and thus, their school mates rejected them.... Is it paranoia, or self-preservation, as the increased exposure to groups in adulthood are just as difficult due to their rejection in childhood. Right? I wonder how many of these souls could be helped by alternative methods... one without boundaries... as in... the DSMV's boundaries.
Schizotypal has an unusual manner of speech....The Zodiac's voice was described as robotic and monotonous.
If you subscribe to the Myers-Briggs personality types, which would you associate with Schizotypal Personality Disorder?
the DSM is kinda trash though
jorgepeterbarton you win the internet 🌈

LOLOL Fact!
Regarding many of the disorders, it seems to say more about what our culture values at any given point in time than any new or objective knowledge gained about the human brain/mind.
That's because so much of these "illnesses" are made up. To be spacey and think outside the box is crazy? Really? So every pothead on the planet is crazy? Magical thinking is crazy? So lock up every Christian in the madhouse already. Psychology is clearly pure illusion (like most stuff in the world).
The old ones you are a fool if you think psychology and sociology isn’t useful in today’s society
I think of someone believing in synchronicity and omens.
Belief in omens of one kind or another was the norm in virtually every premodern society/culture. The fact that such thinking might be seen as pathological today, more than anything, is evidence of how these personality "disorders" are in part, if not largely, defined according to the norms of a particular culture.
So you're saying Carl Jung was schizotypal? because it was him who coined the term synchronicity and he actually believed in magic and alchemy.
Very creative people who have an open mind ?
I wonder why it has to be pronounced TIPPLE as in tickle, instead of TYPAL as in type writer. Schizotipple makes it sound stupid. You don't say tip writer do you. Or personality tip?!!
Anthony Hall I used to pronounce it "tipple" but after thinking more about it, I think "type-al" makes more sense.
That probably has root word that is not English.
I think is how Americans speak. I’d say typal
Anthony Hall I agree... Geez!
I listened to about a dozen video clips of people pronouncing the related word "schizotypy" which is pronounced like "schitz-o-type-ee." So I'd say it's just pronounced wrong in the video.
That's you man.
It's not pathologizing eccentricity. People need to stop saying that.
Every personality is a disorder and boy have we got a pill for you!
U look like lenerd of Big Bang thery
