For Schizoids to talk to other Schizoids.I recognise the irony, but I think a lot of Schizoids do desire on some level to connect with someone who thinks the same way.
>>34767208I've never had much luck talking to other schizoids. Conversation tends to die and not come back. It's not a bad idea for a thread though, I wonder how many schizoids are on this board
my tag is sporemilk2 i don't have any friends, but i want to.
I'll talk to anyone who can type better sentences than "lol Idk hbu?".Discord: solusabides
>>34767208We desire it but not enough to actually act on that desire consistently over time. It's a curse and you have to learn to live with it as best as you can, there's no alleviating it.
>>34767433this is a typo, i want to make friends!
>>34767208itt cluster Bs larping as cluster As>noo bro I'm not alone because my emotional instability is offputting to others, I'm a le based schizoid I don't even want to meet anyone! I just post on soc (board where the sole purpose is meeting people) because, erm, because I just do, okay?!!
Schizoid personality disorder seems like such an umbrella diagnosis. There's gotta be some more specific criteria they use to diagnose it officially
>>34767208I'm not schizoid but do any schizo spectrum lurkers want a schizoaffective friend, its like the whole rainbow of schizo symptoms so close enough
>>34770100Schizoids typically do want to meet people. The outward appearance is someone who wants nothing to do with other people, but there's a significant sense of emptiness internally. If you look up "Schizoid personality disorder linked to unbearable and inescapable loneliness", written by Willem Martens and published in the European Journal of Psychiatry, it may help you understand the internal state better. I would also recommend Guntrip's Schizoid Phenomena but it's a bit longer than you likely want to read. In any case, schizoid asocial traits are typically a defense mechanism, some vestigial thing (usually) caused by early childhood trauma. >>34770124There's a set of criteria for having a personality disorder at all and then separate ones for each individual disorder. Having schizoid traits doesn't give you schizoid personality disorder unless it impacts your life so severely and consistently that you can be diagnosed as having a personality disorder and those traits are so strong that you can also be diagnosed as schizoid. Outside the US, I think they're using dimensional models rather than specific diagnoses but the general idea is the same. All that also means that you could have the most schizoid possible personality but if it doesn't cause you distress or impact your life negatively you don't have schizoid personality disorder.
>>34770100>noo bro I'm not alone because my emotional instability is offputting to othersI'm not emotionally unstable, in my experience it's everyone else who acts like children. I have very good control of my emotions due to years of self-imposed social isolation and introspection.
>>34770100Oh get over yourself. Even schizos need some form of human contact. >t. Failed normie that loves schizos>>34770152Boy do I! Post your contact friendo

i always thought being schizo means to see and hallucinate thingswhat gives?
>>34770912schizophrenic and schizoid personality disorder are two different things, schizoids don't usually have them but still can, there's also schizotypal which is different, whole can of worms for similar illnesses
>>34770912Schizophrenia is a real neurological disorder. Schizotypal and schizoid are "personality disorders" which as a class are just types of people that psychiatrists arbitrarily decide are disorderly based on how shitty their lives are at that moment in time. It's the medical equivalent of being assigned a Harry Potter house.
>>34770931Where does schizoaffective fit into that? Is that one real?
>>34771008That's just schizophrenia and depression. Depression isn't a personality disorder, so it's more tangible and real.

>>34771142before you retards start simping for an empty f post, this was just me testing a scraper
>>34771019Thank you>>34771148What's a scraper
>>34771148And why are you testing it in this thread specifically
>>34771172I've manually filtered threads with gooner keywords in the subjectI picked a random thread that didn't contain any of the filtered keywords
>>34771189So you're collecting all the 30s f posts?
>>34771189Are you doing this on purpose to scare off the schizos?
>>34770931>based on how shitty their lives are at that moment in timePersonality disorders require a stable pattern of behavior, they're not considered at a single point in time. You can argue that personality traits fall on a spectrum and people with PDs happen to have extreme versions of normal traits rather than a "proper" disorder, but doing that requires you to also say that depression isn't a "real" disorder since it's a magnified version of normal, healthy behavior. Schizotypal is a schizophrenia spectrum disorder anyway, so even if you don't want to call it a PD for some reason, it's not fake or whatever you're saying>>34771019>That's just schizophrenia and depressionIt's not depression, it's major mood disturbance which can include depression but also mania and mixed states. The psychotic features also need to be separate from the mood disturbance for some period of time. >so it's more tangible and realHow so? Personality disorders come with physical brain changes and genetic links as well. I can't think of a reason to class depression as "real" while not also classing the PDs the same way. No mental disorder is real in the sense that a specific virus is real. They're all just labels describing symptoms. Those labels don't even necessarily describe the underlying mechanics of the disorder, like how depression can refer to many mechanistically different disorders. Saying that one is real and another isn't is ridiculous since you're essentially denying the existence of the symptoms themselves
I've been slowly overcoming my natural inclinations but I still have that really muted affect. People keep saying they can't read me but I don't even know how exactly to fix that. I can be more socialable, I can do more things and figure out social activities I can enjoy, but how do I fix the fact that I have such limited emotional expression in lower-grade emotional activities?
>>34771322You could try practicing expressions. It sounds kind of deranged, but I used to practice greetings in a mirror so I could seem more friendly. After a while it becomes more natural and doesn't feel like you're acting. It's a pain in the ass though and I found it really stressful. You might be happier trying to accept that you're a bit muted.
>>34767208>first time on /soc/>first thing I see is a SzPD threaddisturbing...anyway, I don't know about this board specifically but I think 4chan has the largest concentration of schizoids out of all social media platforms. It's the perfect site for an asocial person that desires just a little bit of noncommittal interaction.that being said, I would really love to have just one single person to obsess over and be obsessed over. I've been fine for a decade without close friends, but I guess the loneliness has started to get to me...
>>34771393"I met your mom by building a 4chan filter that shows me all 30+ female posters and I browsed it until I found your mom and told her I saw her post on accident"
>>34771392>I think 4chan has the largest concentration of schizoids out of all social media platforms.I've always thought this. in general there's not a better place to meet the kind of people I enjoy most (unfortunately) >that being said, I would really love to have just one single person to obsess over and be obsessed over.would you like to elaborate about you and what you'd be looking for?
