My character is called Tyler Cowart. A 25-year-old male with schizotypal personality disorder. As a child, Tyler was never good to his family. He always preferred to stay locked in his room, working on his projects. Whenever his family attempted to spend time together, Tyler wholeheartedly refused. It eventually got to the point where his family started forcing Tyler to be part of the family. They would take away the little hobbies he had and tell him that if he spent time alone, it would be with nothing to do. At school, Tyler fared even worse. He could never work in a group. Trying to socialize would throw him into anxiety attacks, which would lead him to have extreme bouts of anger or extreme bouts of sadness. Even though Tyler was in class, he would never be actively involved in what was going on. He was always in his own little world, having very vivid daydreams and talking to himself, almost as if he thought these daydreams were reality. As a result, Tyler had to be withdrawn from public school. He was placed in an online homeschooling program, where he could do his work alone and in peace. Life seemed to be looking for Tyler at this point. He had somewhat restored his social life by talking to people online, and the online homeschooling allowed him to get an education with fairly decent grades. Everything changed when Tyler entered adolescence. Because she didn't frequent "normal" social circles, she never had anyone to talk to about what was happening to her body.

If symptoms are more severe, a person with this disorder may have more difficulty holding a job or even living independently. These feats are usually overcome by having a lot of support from family members and by doing jobs that require a good deal of structure and require little to no social interaction. Unfortunately, few with this disorder rarely seek treatment due to their distorted perception of the disorder. world around them and the people within it. If they are able to seek treatment, it is usually for a related disorder, such as depression or anxiety. Schizotypal personality disorder is usually a long-term (chronic) illness. The outcome of treatment varies based on the severity of the disorder. Due to the lack of people seeking treatment for this disorder,
