Yeah, that's my understanding of it too (have been offered schizotypal PD as a potential diagnosis, myself).Nah, schizotypal personality disorder rarely develops into schizophrenia based on what I've read.
The current diagnostic criteria define a group of individuals with a mixed genetic picture. They are more likely to have schizophrenic relatives than individuals with mood disorders but more likely to have relatives with mood disorders than individuals with schizophrenia.
Speaking anecdotally, my mother has schizoaffective disorder. There was no previous psychotic disorders in the family before her, but there was some depression and anxiety and possible mild bipolar. But she's the first to develop a psychotic-spectrum disorder, and what do you know, it turned out to be a mix of affective disorder and psychosis, and probably leaning closer to the affective side than the psychotic side because there's a complete absence of negative symptoms and she's diagnosed as the manic and not depressive subtype.
Sure, if treated correctly.Nah, schizotypal personality disorder rarely develops into schizophrenia based on what I've read.
Ok. I dont know how to explain it but i'll try.I'm curious about what prompted the OP's question...?
Sounds like splitting to me, or maybe you have a hearing problemOk. I dont know how to explain it but i'll try.
When i'm talking to someone and i dont clearly hear what they said, i sort of hear something else, like they've just said something negative to me. Its almost like i do a self snap judgment and assumption that they've just said something negative to me and are thinking it.
Its always themed around my own insecurities though and what i'm thinking about myself but it is distressing.
Heres an example and the reason i decided to make this thread: My friend dropped me of home and as i was getting out i was talking to him about something, i felt awkward and uncomfortable (sa), anyway i said seeya later and he said something back (most likely "seeya later") but i didn't hear him properly and thought he called me a p***k. And that was that. . .

Mine hasn't been treated...Sure, if treated correctly.

Yeah it makes sense and i can even relate to it, after every interaction, mainly with friends, i always think they wont contact me again because i'm an idiot and not worth being around but im always surprised that they contact me or even pick a phone up to me again. Then it all resets and its this time that they wont contact me again even if the interaction was a positive one . Its like i'm just preparing myself to get rejected :blankNot sure if I made much senseops but I don't think you have anything to worry about aside from your social anxiety. It's true that the stuff it makes us think sometimes sounds completely insane. :blush
