>Personality is the combination of thoughts, emotions and behaviors that makes you unique. It's the way you view, understand and relate to the outside world, as well as how you see yourself. Personality forms during childhood, shaped through an interaction of inherited tendencies and environmental factors.

>In normal development, children learn over time to accurately interpret social cues and respond appropriately. What exactly goes wrong for a person with schizotypal personality disorder isn't known for certain, but it's likely that changes in the way the brain functions and genetics may play a role.

In my case...I was raised by an abusive father and a neglectful mother. I didn't receive positive emotional feedback. I was never taught how to interact with other people in any meaningful way.

My mother completely ignored me for the most part. When a baby cries, it looks to its mother for comfort. The baby sees concern in her face and knows that everything is going to be OK. This is how normal people learn social cues.

I did not get the benefit of a loving mother as a child. Thus, my emotional development was stunted / changed / altered. My personality is different now as a result. The summary of these changes are referred to as StPD.

Someone actually wrote a whole book on this. https://www.amazon.com/Schizotypal-Personality-Disorder-Classic-DRIVER-ebook/dp/B004Z8MHUY/ref=sr_1_1

Abed from Community was definitely StPD rather than ASD.

There is a whole chapter about trauma, emotional distress, bullying etc: in this book

Schizophrenia STPD and schizotypy are clearly associated with childhood trauma etc:

I recommend trying a DBT workbook, it teaches you skills like distress tolerance that can make it easier to cope with stressful situations like being all alone. This is the one that helped me, and I would recommend it:

https://www.amazon.com/Dialectical-Behavior-Therapy-Skills-Workbook/dp/1684034582

Easily the second-best $24.95 purchase I ever made.

I'm too lasy for finding scientific literature now, but I read about connections between STPD, OCD, social anxiety and ED.

maybe this

I had ED when I was 15-17, it almost killed me

this journal may help you

No .... Don't lose confidence

>While SPD displays symptoms similar to schizophrenia, most individuals with SPD do not transition to schizophrenia.

Don't many people with SPD experience extreme social phobia and paranoid ideation? I know a dude who thought his parents were aliens/fbi agents since he was 5 and they would murder him/abduct him.

i got this one a few years ago

I really like it but I don't always use it... now I think I will remember to use it consistently. thanks

Look at Aaron Beck's book on the cognitive treatment of personality syndromes. There is a chapter on schizoid and schizotypal disorders.

If you don't feel like buying it, I am sure it can be found here http://www.libgen.io

Therapy for these disorders is much more complex than dealing with mood disorders alone.
