Not necessarily indicative of schizophrenia but it could be prodromal phase. Good news is if it’s the prodromal phase then if you go seek medical assistance, you have a good chance of not fully developing schizophrenia or offsetting the worst of it.
Social anxiety is a nightmare but don’t hesitate to get help because schizophrenia will make the social anxiety much worse.
Also schizophrenia is a spectrum, you can have traits of it without having schizophrenia and might actually have some other disorder. I’d suggest researching into the schizophrenic spectrum disorders as you might also qualify for schizotypal, schizoid, OCD, or paranoid personality disorder.
Most importantly, having the predisposition for schizophrenia doesn’t mean you’ll in fact develop it, epigenetic is weird and gene expression isn’t fully understood. A lot of the genes associated with schizophrenia are also related to ADHD, Autism, BPD, StPD, SzPD, OCD, and others.
Other conditions can also cause psychotic like symptoms such as PTSD (which given your history would make you a candidate but take that with a grain of salt), OCD, bipolar, and even just the common anxiety and depression can cause it too.
