>People with schizoid personality disorder are often aloof, cold, and indifferent, which causes interpersonal difficulty. Most individuals diagnosed with SPD have trouble establishing personal relationships or expressing their feelings meaningfully. They may remain passive in the face of unfavorable situations.
>Their communication with other people may be indifferent and terse at times. Because of their lack of meaningful communication with other people, those who are diagnosed with SPD are not able to develop accurate impressions of how well they get along with others.
>Although there is the belief that people with SPD are complacent and unaware of their feelings, many recognize their differences from others. Some individuals with SPD who are in treatment say that "life passes them by" or they feel like living in a shell; they see themselves as "missing the bus" and complain of observing life from a distance.
>According to Aaron Beck and Freeman, "Patients with schizoid personality disorders consider themselves to be observers, rather than participants, in the world around them."
It's incurable and is basically mild schizophrenia. So you're going to go mad eventually.
>So you're going to go mad eventually.
at least life would be more interesting then
>Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
Pretty accurate
>Almost always chooses solitary activities
I enjoy the occasional outing with a friend but I'm always glad when I get to be alone again
>Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
When I was in a relationship I was very sexually inclined, sex and intimacy were the only things that made me continue the relationship.
I've been single for years and though I like to think about sex I don't pursue it
>Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
Accurate
>Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
I have one good friend but even with him it seems superficial
>Appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
Accurate
>Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect (emotion)
Accurate for the most part, I think I'm pretty good with talking about a variety of subjects but that has more to do with observation than empathy
>no
>yes
>I'm demisexual, I want an intimate relationship with someone but I literally can't get it up if I'm not practically best friends with them first
>no I have shitloads of hobbies

Sounds like Tumblr special snowflake shit
>Demisexual
U wot
A lot of this symptoms overlap with Assburgers, so i guess i'm partially schizoid
one of those new fangled sexualities
it's a type of asexuality. I still feel sexual and romantic attraction, but only towards people I have an established emotional bond with.
Otherwise a random person could literally be grinding on my wiener and I wouldn't give less of a shit. Not even a wiggle.
Apparently schizoid and assburgers are different.
>However, one of the distinguishing features of schizoid PD is a restricted affect and an impaired capacity for emotional experience and expression. Persons with AS are “hypo-mentalizers”, i.e., they fail to recognize social cues such as verbal hints, body language and gesticulation, but those with schizophrenia- like personality disorders tend to be “hyper-mentalizers,” overinterpreting such cues in a generally suspicious way (see imprinted brain theory).
>Although they may have been socially isolated from childhood onward, most people with schizoid personality disorder displayed well-adapted social behavior as children, along with apparently normal emotional function. SPD does also not involve impairments in nonverbal communication such as a lack of eye contact, unusual prosody or a pattern of restricted interests or repetitive behaviors.
Honestly I think it's what all the people on Sup Forums who aren't spergs are. Instead of being spergs they're emotionless robot men.
>most people with schizoid personality disorder displayed well-adapted social behavior as children, along with apparently normal emotional function.
I didn't believe you at first but now I think I might have this meme disorder. although I don't really care enough to go to a psychologist, the criteria fit pretty well.
>Suicide may also be a running theme for schizoid individuals, though they are not likely to actually attempt one. They might be down and depressed when all possible connections have been cut off, but as long as there is some relationship or even hope for one the risk will be low.
> The idea of suicide is a driving force against the person's schizoid defenses. As Klein says: "For some schizoid patients, its presence is like a faint, barely discernible background noise, and rarely reaches a level that breaks into consciousness. For others, it is an ominous presence, an emotional sword of Damocles. In any case, it is an underlying dread that they all experience."
Hmm that's quite an interesting symptomatology tbqh, i lack some of the emotionless robot part but some of the other traits fit me too. Either way, i'm sure that i'm not neurotypical, and i guess that's the most important thing to recognize.
According to the DSM, those with SPD may often be unable to, or will rarely express aggressiveness or hostility, even when provoked directly. These individuals can seem vague or drifting about their goals and their lives may appear directionless.
>Others view them as indecisive in their actions, self-absorbed, absentminded and detached from their surroundings (''not with it'' or ''in a fog'').
>In cases with severe defects in the capacity to form social relationships, dating and marriage may not be possible.
somewhat accurate, but I wouldn't say I dread suicide. I mostly just consider it an option if I don't feel like dealing with any of this shit anymore.
That's what it's saying I think. That you'll not do it, but it's always there in the back of your mind as an option.
I only found out about this meme thing recently but now I'm 99% sure I have it. I'm also 99% sure it's getting worse.
>those with SPD may often be unable to, or will rarely express aggressiveness or hostility, even when provoked directly. These individuals can seem vague or drifting about their goals and their lives may appear directionless.
I feel like I'm being read like an open book.
I feel convinced too but I don't buy into all this psychology shit. I know I'm fucked in the head, I don't need a professional to tell me that, so it's not like it'd make a difference if I went to a psychologist and got diagnosed.
nah man you don't have spd you're just danish
Sounds about right. Spent my 20s in complete solitude on the dole living in a depressing shithole inner city area with the chavs and the crackheads and ended up so miserable I really felt like I wanted to kill myself. Although when it came down to it the other option was far more attractive to me: somehow sort myself out, find a job or career I could tolerate long term that would provide enough income to move to a much nicer area and generally start enjoying my life as weird loner again. Fuck knows if I'll make it, but I'm giving it a go.
Try reading this in full and it'll be a weird experience
en.wikipedia.org
I'm actually thinking I'll go to see a psychologist more out of interest than anything. I figure it can't hurt and at least if I do have it I have something to blame other than my own social ineptitude.
i don't believe in that self-pitying self-diagnosis shit
For what it's worth I'm successful and well off. Still miserable though. Or not even miserable, just empty.
It's what made me think I need to sort shit out. Otherwise I'm just going to drift through life forever.
>Many fundamentally schizoid individuals display an engaging, interactive personality that contradicts the observable characteristic emphasized by the DSM-5 and ICD-10 definitions of the schizoid personality.
>Klein classifies these individuals as "secret schizoids", who present themselves as socially available, interested, engaged and involved in interacting yet remain emotionally withdrawn and sequestered within the safety of the internal world.
That's pretty gay
Psychology is a legitimate science. Apparently.
All of them
That's a concern and maybe it's inevitable. In my case there's been periods where I've been quite happy in my own company and actually managed to enjoy life in my own simple way. My problems are a consequence of having zero drive, ambition or social contact which led to poverty and things like having to tolerate literally the worst people in society as neighbours. At the very least I need to solve that, then I'll take things from there.
In other words, hiding your power level. I wish they'd use the correct terminology.
>No
>No
>yes
>no
>idk
>not really
I've been hiding my power level from everyone for my whole life.
Keep up the good work, user.
I doubt I'll ever change at this point.
>It's incurable and is basically mild schizophrenia
no its not. despite the name there isnt really any correlation between SPD and schizophrenia
>There is evidence of links and shared genetic risk between SPD, other cluster A personality disorders and schizophrenia.
that doesnt mean SPD is mild schizophrenia
>tfw secret schizoid
All cluster A personality disorders are mild schizophrenia. In fact, schizoid is literally shizophrenia without the hallucinations.
Squizoid disorder.
Doesn't this mean it's impossible to diagnose?
If I went to see a therapist they'd not believe the shit I say because I'm not a fucking sperg, and always put on a front when talking to anyone, especially professionally.
im gonna need a source on that. All im reading is that there may be a slightly greater potential to develop schizophrenia but they arent necessarily related
>Only romantically, but I strongly desire family and community
>Yes
>Yes
>No, but those activities are limited due to a fear to explore
>Yes and it is suffering
>No, I feel strong envy or disgust
>I am highly neurotic and emotional
some people argue that it isnt a disorder its just a different way of life
I'm so secret schizoid my job is in communications.
If we take a disorder as being something that negatively affects your life then it absolutely is. How is being unable to make proper friends or have intimate relationships not a negative?
mine too lmao
also some people are content with being alone
>Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
Nope
>Almost always chooses solitary activities
I don't have any other activities to pick, but I gravitate toward solitary activities because I don't have to worry so much about what other people think
>Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
Yes
>Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
Yes
>Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
I've only got one, and we're not too close, so yes
>Appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
Yes
>Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect (emotion)
Sometimes, but I'm curbing this through weight-lifting.
>mine too lmao
Interesting. In terms of being alone, "content" is probably the right word. Not happy, just not knowing anything else.
I'm so secret schizoid I work as lawyer. I have to deal with people all the time. I should have become an engineer or something.
Basically it feels like the relationships I have with everyone are professional relationships. Where you get on but it doesn't mean anything.
I wonder if there's something in this. That emotionless husks are good at pretending?
90% of the work as a lawyer is writing, not really pretending. We have grand jury only in cases of crimes against life (homicide, instigation to suicide), so I dont have to pretend a lot, because I work mostly with enviromental law. My coldness helps me in not giving a fuck if my client is wrong or evil and in staying calm even if someome is rude with me in an audience. If one is rude with me and I am not rude with them, but respond smartly and politely, it looks good to the judge.
>>In cases with severe defects in the capacity to form social relationships, dating and marriage may not be possible.
I hate being around people in a social capacity but I just wish I had a qt gf that was sort of like me and could understand we could just read, or watch movies, or even just stare at the sky together in mostly silence.
No to all except
>Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
Do you enjoy Sup Forums though?
Sometimes
We're so dumb it's fun
>Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
Family's alright.

>Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person

>Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
I have two close friends and the second one I haven't seen in person in over a month.
>Appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
correct
>Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect (emotion)
I used to but I'm warming up now.
Is this a test for something?
>Patients with schizoid personality disorders consider themselves to be observers, rather than participants, in the world around them.
Haha, holy shit, I used to say that all the time about myself.
Not that I need to be diagnosed with any stupid disorders, I'm just a faggot and will hopefully die alone like I'm supposed to.
