I relate with this so much! Thanks for sharing this  I feel exactly that, and most of my anxiety comes from having to put on the fake face of "I care" when around other people, especially at work. Truth is, I don't!
I am severe bipolar, so close to schizotypal behavior, at least that is the opinion of a pdoc I saw in the past, and a psychiatrist friend of mine. Looking introspectively it makes sense to me, too.
