I've thought perhaps in the past this is how I am but only now am I accepting it.
It does make interpersonal relations difficult, as well as my work life and everyday life.

Granted, I don't think I' have as much anxiety as I used to, but it's definitely easier for me to keep people at arms length, so to speak.
Which might explain my propensity for having a semi addiction to the internet and being more vocal online about my opinions and such than in person.
Doesn't sound like you have it at all. Someone with Schizotypal would never say anxiety wasn't a big factor in their life.
Thanks for this!
