Hello! It was wonderful to have a chance to learn from S about schizotypal personality-- one theme throughout S's story is a deep sense of being different or "Anderssein". S also provides an in-depth overview of experiences with different traits of schizotypal personality, a tendency towards fantastic/paranormal things and conspiracy theories, as well as experiences in social interactions and elsewhere. S also discusses paranoia in schizotypal personality.
