Maybe you are. You describe it pretty well... Feeling like the protagonist in a book might not be as abnormal as you think though. I felt that way at your age too - maybe it's a youth thing. Now, believing that everything you say will come true, now that's magical thinking.

I'm definitely schizotypal (except that I wonder if it is schizophrenia for me). I work very hard to FORCE myself out there and fight some of the aspects of it. It is very difficult for me to shave everyday when I'm not working (I'm in the military) and struggle to actually shower (like with soap) although I do stand under the water everyday because it feels good. I guess what I'm saying is get out there and get a haircut! You can cheat. Go in and show them a picture of a celebrity you like or just tell them. I always go with the Carl Urban.

I WANT to have friends - and have a few - but really suck at making friends and maintaining friendships. I'm really trying to reach out to the friends I have more and more.

It's okay to be ST. But don't be a victim of it.
