Schizotypal Personality Disorder refers to the phenomena of distress and discomfort received in social interactions.

Schizotypal personality disorder affects those who suffer to tend to maintain a healthy distance from others and are insecure in relationships. They have a small or flat spectrum of emotions and sometimes display strange speech or actions. This specific kind of personality disorder lies right in the middle of a continuum of similar disorders, with schizoid personality disorder on one hand and schizophrenia on the other. These illnesses are most likely linked biologically. Many doctors agree that people with these illnesses share genetic vulnerabilities, but it's unclear why some people experience a more serious type of the disease than others.
