Schizotypal Personality and Creativity: An Interview

Hello! I'm so grateful to have been able to meet this interviewee and discuss schizotypal personality, having an observant personality, and creativity and art. We also discuss different traits of schizotypal personality such as social anxiety and ideas of reference, as well as experiences with social relationships and more. I know that I personally learned a lot from this interview.
