This could be what my father was suffering from. He raised me alone, had no friends, no social interactions apart from his job. The windows blinds in the house were always closed because "neighbors were watching". When I was 12 he started believing that neighbors were listening in on our conversations... he said the topic of those conversations were shown on TV a few days later. He was so convinced of this that he forced me to "test" his theories. Once we had a fake conversation about building a swimming pool in the garden. Days later, on the news, they showed a swimming pool. This was the ultimate proof for my dad. In the end, it made me so uncomfortable, that he stopped talking about it. Apart from that, he was a kind and loving dad. I've always considered his behavior a consequence of his rough childhood. In a way, I've always felt like he put me in a bubble so that I wouldn't suffer like he did. Some people with disorders are genuinely good people. They're just suffering a lot.

I knew someone in the 90s who was diagnosed STPD during the time I knew him. He had a lot of issues with inner anger. He used to say, with rising intensity, that he wished he could hook wires between his brain and other individual people so that they could feel and understand his pain. By the time he'd end he'd be in a passionate rage saying that they wouldn't last two minutes before dropping to their knees and begging for it to end. It was sad really. Met him at an anxiety group. And yes I felt very uncomfortable around him but never projected that. In his own odd way he was a kind person but extremely troubled

I am a victim of a narcissistic mother and a deeply isolated dysfunctional childhood. I can't help but feel some of these behaviors are due to my childhood trauma. I have a firm grasp on reality, science. I have 2 adult children whom I value above all else.
But I'm scared, terrified of forming relationships. I'm guarded to the point of never having an adult friendship.
So while this looks like disorder from the outside, it's a means of survival on the inside.

A friendĀ“s daughter was recently diagnosed with this and I remember her mentioning once that the only person she had in her life was her younger brother and no one else (much to the distraught of my friend, the mother). She also dresses inappropiately (not attention seeking or quirky, just... off), believes in the wildest conspiracy theories and has odd ways of thinking (like things that are every day occurences somehow have some secret meaning that don't connect in any way- the neighbor is wearing red so she can't eat cereal for breakfast today, things like that, where you just say what?). I'm watching videos on this disorder so I can learn more about it and be more supportive for my friend

I was diagnosed with STPD three years ago. I've been emotionally and physically abused all my life. I am twenty six years old and still struggling. Therapy and medications did not solve anything. I was put on fluoxetine, benztropine, and risperidone. The side effects were horrible; I almost died. I stopped taking them after a couple of months, but one of the side effects still remains. The doctors, nurses and social workers were condescending and smug. They couldn't understand how I felt and kept telling me to do things I couldn't do. They were just repeating what they learned in text books. I've learned more on the internet than I did from them. They wasted my time; I shouldn't have gone to them. But if I didn't, I would be long dead; but at least I would have peace.
I want to see a video on selective mutism if you don't mind.

This is a hard diagnosis because I know people with every single one of these tributes and they actually present extremely advanced psychical vision that is completely substantial and consistent with our perceived reality and are self supporting and self sufficient. And I know people who present this and are on the diagnostic scale for cluster A.

I often feel my inner life does not resemble anyone else's. To me, so-called normal people are just unchallenged. Anyone of an intuitive, artistic bent will naturally see the world in a different way, talk, dress, joke, etc. How much of boredom with the real world is due to self-referential stuff, and how much is objective reality, ie, our lives can be pretty mundane and repetitive? The stress of making a living and surviving in a competitive, crude, and violent American culture is not to be underestimated.

I have STPD but I have had moments of almost completely losing touch with reality. I can eventually navigate out of it but rarely without help.
& my paranoia is almost always directed towards myself. This often puts me situations where Iām being abused because I am so certain that Iām just being paranoid towards that person
Iām incredibly close to my dad, but Iāve never been close to anyone else. Also what she said about it being rare for us to marry or have children makes me sad. I already knew this fact, but Iāve always wanted to be a wife & mother. I know thereās hope, but Iāve often questioned if I can manage it

This is part of my diagnosis so I had to check this out. I'm relieved that only one or two of these traits may apply to me. I can see why this is part of my diagnosis. Fortunately I know my perceptions are only that and I'm probably the only one thinking that way. I think I can rule this out. I am major depressive, I don't think I'm bipolar because I feel the same level of crappy all the time. I'm trying to prepare for making possible future therapy meaningful and these explanatory videos help a lot, in fact they've helped me way more than someone sitting there saying nothing and judging me wrongly. I need correct information and homework to do, thank you!

my mom has every symptom of STPD except for social anxiety, so videos like this have been incredibly eye opening. on the point that "people with STPD will rarely be married or be parents" obviously my mom is a parent, but neither of her children speak to her anymore, and she divorced my dad when I was 10. she has hardly ever had friends, and the few friends she did have came and went fairly quickly. she even asked me once, when I asked to stop hearing about her work drama, "well who am I going to talk about this stuff with?". she didn't have anyone to talk to besides me. it was a regular thing for me to hear about how someone she worked with was "jealous" of her and was trying to sabotage her, which was confusing and disorienting for me as a kid. she had a hard time staying in the same workplace for long since she was regularly having interpersonal issues with coworkers. she also is a huge believer in anything involving magical thinking-she calls herself a witch, believes she has clairvoyance and a spirit guide, always keeps an altar, she spent tons of time reading about/talking about divination, numerology, psychic mediums, and even tried to get me and my brother to believe we had magical abilities. some of these things might make sense if she came from a culture with certain spiritual traditions, but she is a white woman from texas. she also believed that when the pandemic started that it was actually caused by 5G so I didn't need to wear a mask, and at one point believed (maybe she still does idk) that aliens built the pyramids. she also has always had a strange way of speaking that caused me a lot of embarrassment and frustration since she seemed not to be able to read social cues that I thought were obvious- she would be loud and use lots of varied tones or laugh very suddenly in an almost jarring way, and would bring up topics that didn't quite relate and spend lots of time talking about herself to the point of steamrolling the other person. like I said, the only trait she didn't show was social anxiety--I once frustratedly asked her, "do you not have shame?" and she responded "no!". it's great to finally get clarity on all these aspects of my mom that confused and distressed me as a kid, I feel like I can make sense of them and put them in perspective, and it's cathartic to see others in the comments with somewhat similar experiences. hopefully I'll eventually have someone in real life I can talk ab this stuff with lol, sorry for the long comment

Thank you so much for your work! Also, your website is amazingly helpful. I want to ask you make a video and explain the vibe, the life station of people who are desire to be alone for a lot. This is me! I canāt explain to myself or to others why do I need this time, but only when I am lonely I am in peace ( actually happy), and creative

I was diagnosed with this at 16 years old and im happy to have been able to use the diagnostic criteria for being able to see when i was acting "inappropriately" because ut has helped alot i still struggle but am able to hold down jobs and a relationship .. i may not have many friends because they dont understand the fear i have of telling them i think theyre mad at me because it makes me seem self centered but i have my partner who is amazing with dealing with it and calls me out for being ridiculous and also saying what parts of my arguments make sense but shows they dont add up in the long run

I think this is me and I'm now insane. Lol. I'm definitely eccentric and talk to myself. Laugh at inappropriate times. I have a very interesting dialogue in my head. I don't need company because I'm quite satisfied with what's going on in my head. I am isolated with no family contact. They don't understand me. But I am kind and loving. I'd help anyone.
