Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits. People who are diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder have little capacity—or perhaps even little need—for close relationships. They, more often than not, don’t understand how relationships form and misinterpret people’s motivations and behaviors and ultimately develop significant distrust of others.
Schizotypal personality disorder includes the following:
- Being a loner and lacking close friends outside of the immediate family
- Flat emotions or limited or inappropriate emotional responses
- Persistent and excessive social anxiety
- Incorrect interpretation of events, such as a feeling that something harmless or inoffensive has a direct personal meaning, and more.
If your loved one has five or more of the following symptoms, it might be time for them to seek help from a professional who can provide them with the necessary counseling services.
