Explanation of Facets:

Distraught Mood: People with schizotypal traits tend to be apprehensive


and ill at ease, particularly with regard to social encounters. They are usually
agitated and anxiously watchful, evincing distrust of others and suspicion of
their motives – tendencies that persist despite growing familiarity with the
other. They also manifest an apathetic, sluggish, joyless, and spiritless
presentation. Many have marked deAciencies in face-to-face rapport and
emotional expression.

Estranged Self-Image: Individuals with schizotypal features display


recurrent social perplexities and illusions as well as experiences of
depersonalization, derealization, and dissociation. For instance, they may
repeatedly have the feeling that they are observing themselves from outside
of their body, or they have a sense that things around them are not real.
Many also feel detached from themselves and their emotions and have
repetitive thoughts about the emptiness and meaninglessness of life.

Undoing Dynamics: Schizotypal people often have bizarre mannerisms and


idiosyncratic thoughts that appear to reFect a reversal of previous acts or
ideas that have stirred feelings of anxiety, conFict, or guilt in them. This is
related to their peculiar behavior, speech patterns, and perceptions, as those
peculiarities may have formed as unconscious rituals to ward oG such
negative feelings. By extension, many engage in ritualistic or magical
behaviors which serve to repent for or nullify presumed misdeeds or "evil"
thoughts.

Circumstantial Cognition: People with schizotypal traits are often


characterized by an inability to read the thoughts and feelings of others
adequately. Hence, their social communications are often mixed with
personal irrelevancies, circumstantial speech, digressions from the main
point, and false ideas that random occurrences are directly related to them.
They are often ruminative and appear self-absorbed and lost in daydreams
with occasional magical thinking, bodily illusions, obscure suspicions, and
odd beliefs.

Peculiar Expressions: Individuals with schizotypal features tend to display


awkward and peculiar mannerisms. They are often perceived by others as
abnormal and disposed to behave in an unobtrusively odd, aloof, curious, or
bizarre manner. For instance, they may rarely laugh or smile and have
problems expressing what they think or feel. Hence, they are often
misunderstood or described as “odd” or “weird”.

Fragmented Psyche: Schizotypal people have diNculties sorting out their


thoughts and past experiences. They tend to be disjointed and have
challenges internalizing the consequences of their actions. Moreover, their
excessive Fuidity when it comes to making connections between occurrences
may be manifested in beliefs about paranormal psychic forces (i.e., mind
reading, telekinesis, or out-of-body experience) as well as deeply personal
superstitions.

Secretive Conduct: People with schizotypal traits often prefer privacy and
isolation. They tend to have few attachments, personal obligations, and a
consistent pattern of discomfort with close relationships and interactions. On
this point, schizotypal people may also be inFuenced by their suspiciousness
of others, exasperating their diNculties in forming and maintaining close
relationships.
Chaotic Contents: Individuals with schizotypal features tend to be
characterized by disorganized internal thoughts and feelings. For instance,
others may perceive them to ramble on about diGerent topics, have
disjointed and jumbled memories of the past, and act on their feelings in
ways that seem peculiar. This is often related to their atypical view of reality,
odd thoughts, and abnormal interpretations of ordinary events.
