Schizotypal Forum

Help me make a list of good things about having this disorder. I can get really blue over being ill sometimes. If we made a list, I could just whip that out when it happens and remind myself of the good stuff.
What do you like about yourself, which is somehow part of the disorder?

*I like my creativity (creativity is somehow linked to StPD)
*I like my introversion - it gives me insight into myself and others
*

*I am in love with my magical thinking and "odd" beliefs.
*Also, I am addicted to the (almost) constant feelings of awe at the beauty I find in existence.

*I like being somewhat open-minded when compared to most others.

*I like being able to see what some people are unable to.
*I love having a unique perspective on ideas.

Maybe one good thing about it is the ability to see that things aren´t always what they look like?

I enjoy being able to laugh at jokes only I understand .
I also enjoy exploring new ideas and the drive to learn.

*I love the feeling of oneness I so often experience when listening to music or walking down a country path. I know what Whitman is talking about when he wrote: "Wandering, silently, in stillness, amazed at my own lightness and glee".
*I also love the vivid dreams that leave me star-struck when I awaken.

ooh...

*the looks I get out of my annoying psych major pastor

love him to death, but he probes too much, love giving him little things to shut him up now and again. His wife is better, she's smart.

I love me and you should love YOU. Don't try to escape yourself, EMBRACE YOURSELF
