I am just asking this question out of curiosity. I am new, not sure if I am schizotypal or not, but still felt like asking this question.

Do you think you might be..?
I dont know if I am either, but I recon I have traits...
SO what I do like is...
The fact that I am original...
That I can think about things, and contemplate life and existance, some times I feel tlike I am bursting with all kinds of ideas and theories... etc.
The creative side...
The being able to get on, alone,
And good days
What I dont like is;
the poor memory,
the way my mind gets jumbled, and nobody understands what I am going on about but me...lol
the self destructive side,
The being lonely, and having no friends
And bad days...
I also have traits of other stuff..but I can identitfy a lot with what I have read on SPD.What about you??

It stimulates my fantasy since I know about this. My favorite personality disorder:D Alexithymia and feeling of emptiness ruins my illusions a little, though.

No. I don't like it very much. I don't like that people can't understand me, and that I have a built in Cassandra Complex I was born with. It's not fun at all. I don't like having episodes I have to trudge through, I don't like waiting, I'm always waiting, and while I'm waiting all I have is my thoughts. I don't like how I hate people and feel jealous/parionia about other people for no reason and I don't like how If everyone in the world died tommorow, I probably wouldn't care about it.

I could answer almost exactly the same words as Ralliart752.
I hate the anxiousness, fear almost anything anytime. I do not fear conciously but rather it is kind of primitive, the run or die physical reaction to things which shouldn't affect that way.
Also I have very sensitive senses(truly, not imagined) like smell, touch and hearing. So highly irritating environments make me feel even more anxious. And because if anything tickles of the sounds are too loud, I have to stop them at any cause, people think me crazy. I constantly scratch my skin for seams or hairs, I sometimes have to close my ears by hands if the noise is too loud. In bus I may have upset stomach just because someone has mouth infection or seborrea or another skin disease and I smell it. I can even prove it. I can smell many things trough the store and know which way to go to find the product etc. Sometimes it is good but other times it is annoying if very bad smells. Even water smells, it smells the tube minerals, spring water smells sweeter. Bottled water smells oily. I do not know if this sensitivity comes with Schizotypal or not.
I love the creativity, if I get rid of my fear of failure. I also love the travels inside my head and seeing the world trough ever shiny childish glasses when experiencing something nice or seeing something beautiful.
I wouldnt want to be anyone else, but I would want to get rid of the anxiousness.

I used to hate it. It was only as I grew older that I realised the problem was exacerbated because I was desperate to fit in. I am my destiny now and am content about it. Remember Nietzsche, "Become who you are." I wonder how many of you out there, particularly those in their twenties and younger, cause themselves interminable grief by going against the grain of their condition instead of seeing what it has to offer.

MysteryTeacher: I am still not sure, I did create my own religion in hihg school, well sort of. It was too confusing though. I had an itnerest in psionics. I even did the pinwheels

Indifferent. It's the only way I've ever known how to live so it doesn't really matter to me because I have no way of knowing what it would be like to be normal.
