Okay so I met someone on Omegle that I chatted with a couple of weeks ago who has schizophrenia and there is this thing that I do that I am kind of searching for answers for. Okay so I have pretty much all the negative symptoms, of course I know that ASD can have similar symptoms but I might or might not have experienced positive symptoms.
I definitely have the paranoid thinking (maybe, this is a matter of opinion) but it's more a paranoia in personal relationships rather than government conspiracy or anything like that, kind of more trust issues, making assumptions without basis, searching for reasons why a person may be shady without any real reason to do so but looking way to into things, as if searching for a betrayal I feel like I know will come. More like a self fulfilling prophecy type thing.
As far as hallucinations, there are little things, subtle things, so much subtle that I question if I should take it seriously or if it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But this is the thing, since I was a child I had a habit of vocally conversating with myself, first in first person and then responding to myself in second person. I recorded it one time and my therapist said one half sounded mature and the other sounded more child like and that she said it seemed more like a form of self comfort.
I asked this person on Omegle if they conversated with themselves out loud verbally in first person and then responded in second person like a natural conversation, making an I statement and then having a You response. So given that a schizophrenic does this and I have practically all of the negative symptoms (yet the positive symptoms are questionable) I wonder if this is possibly a schizophrenic spectrum disorder? Like one of the schizophrenic personality disorders. I know it couldn't be schizoid because I want friends and social interaction (even if I'm bad at it) but schizotypal is what I wonder about?
