You may have seen that I have changed my blog name from delusional to Schizotypal PD, and thats for good reasons.
First is that my blog-title-comment is more appropriate with the new title.
Second is that I just found out that I have the disorder. I have not yet confirmed it from a real psychiatrist but as I know, the symptoms are all pointing to who I think I am.
Haha....I don't know why I am so happy now that I know that I have a mental problem...maybe Im just crazy. or maybe its because I want to know and accept myself before I can brag it to others. Well, awareness is really the first step to aceptance, ain't it? nothing special... hirap...lalim kasi ng utak ko...d ko maarok...
Hahahhahaha......this is what I get from reading too much psychiatry books. I get too much info about how my (and other's) mind/s work.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder is a mental disorder that is more like schizophrenia (pagkabaliw). The person with this PD, whether consciously or unconsciously, experiences paranoia*, schizoid** reaction, cyclothymic*** feelings and have eccentric speech patterns, thoughts and ideas. The only difference is that people Psychotypal PD experience no delusions, hallucinations or the like and they don't show the true form of the actual mental disorientation. They just don't want to follow the real world (<-- my idea ^_^)
*Paranoia - uncontrolable envy or suspicion with respect to physical reference.
**Schizoid - A trait on being lonesome. Most of the time, people with schizoid reactions have very few close friends, are always anxious in social gatherings and engage in introverted and shut-in thinking.
***Cyclothymic - unbalanced feelings due to the Bipolar mood disorder, in which case, the patient experiences alternating moods of different degrees. Like In one time your so depressed then a minute later your very happy then you get angry for no reason at all.

I too have SPD. I don't believe in supernatural phenomena (although I've seen it), and my social anxiety has abated somewhat. So I'm a bit different from the classical nervous nutcase.
(sorry, I had to delete the post above, I just realized that people could track me down!)
Once you know about this, it can be managed, and not without drugs, but it does require determination. Avoid anything that challenges your condition, but challenge your condition with situations that allow for growth. I go to church to develop social skills. I dread meeting people, but the church setting allows for kindess. BTW, I don't believe in fairy tales.
You say "They just don't want to follow the real world"
But I have to disagree, schizotypal want to be with others and want to be in the real world but they cant. Fear [mostly unconscious and split off] prohibits this.
The disorder is based on tremendous amount of fear.
There are many and long standing issues with schizotypal.
