Schizotypal Personality Disorder

People with schizotypal personality disorder are odd and eccentric. They dress, act or speak in a peculiar manner. They are suspicious and paranoid, and feel anxious in social situations because of their distrust. Because of these beliefs they have few friends. People with schizotypal personality disorder feel that others are talking about them behind their back, and that strangers are taking special notice of them. 

Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder misinterpret reality. They mistake noises for voices, and shadows or objects for people. They believe in ESP, hexes, telepathy and superstitions more strongly than most people and their behavior is influenced by these beliefs.
