Why aren't you schizoidmaxxing yet?>not giving a fuck about bitches and friends>no desire in expensive shit like traveling
I wish I had schizoid personality disorder so badly. I was so close to having it but I ended up with AvPD instead
bullshit wheres her emotionless fluoride stare expression and eyebags all schizoids look like this
>>84157750>>not giving a fuck about bitches and friends>>no desire in expensive shit like travelingI kinda give a shit about having friends.This shit doesnt describes me, I feel strong emotions all the time, majority of time nowadays they are positive, I am extremelly happy but I don't care about society at large except having friends to talk a few times.Do you seriously don't want to feel happiness or strong emotions? This symptom in my opinion is very negative.
i dont like how this comic depicts schizoids as a cool, attractive person who has people constantly wanting to interact with themin reality most schizoids are totally invisible and after a short interaction most normies aren't interesting in furthering the interaction at all
>>84157750Holy shit I might need to get tested for SzPD. This describes me perfectly (except I'm an ugly guy and not a cute anime girl)
>>84157825Wait, I might be schizoid then. I always assumed I was just AvPD since i still wished I had friends, felt emotions, and am desperately afraid of ridicule
>>84158029I don't think I am a schizoid though, my therapist thinks I might be but I disagree vehemently.
this comic might make it funny but it's actually scorching hell. especially when i see someone i'd like to know but i can't and it's fantasies, hyperfixation and making mountains out of molehills all the way and the others notice absolutely nothing.
I am a schizoid but I feel bad for my AvPD bros, I hope you guys find happiness, I think you can.>>84158069You're AvPD most likely. I don't think schizoids typically fantasize about relationships with others. I have a few fantasy relationships I like thinking about, I like fictional romance, but I prefer being on my own than interacting with another person IRL 90% of the time. I like some brief socializing and that's it.

>>84158157I mean I fantasize about a specific fantasy relationship with another, but I've never met another person and thought I wished we could be better friends. That is an interesting read, thank you
>>84158194i meant romance really but it's not easy to draw the line.
Is it possible for me to be both a schizoid and AvPD?Ever since I was a child, I always sat alone during recess despite having no problems socializing at the time. I just preferred my own thoughts over hanging out with others. however throughout the years I became extremely socially inept and afraid of ridicule. Anytime I do socialize it feels like traverseing a minefield, constantly afraid that something I said would cause me to be mocked or insulted. I feel so socially isolated, i wish I could have friends, but anytime someone actually has tried to be my friend (atleast online) the stress from having to interact with them made me wish I could just be alone in my own company again. Even if im having fun interacting with them, i still often wish i could be alone again anyways. But once i finally am alone, i start feeling isolated and wish for friendship again. Its a cruel cycle.
>>84157750I knew someone who sent me this comic. One of the most awful people I had the misfortune of talking to, extremely judgmental despite literally just living as a leech off his parents, too
>>84157767>bullshit wheres her emotionless fluoride stare expression and eyebags
>>84158291Psychology is all made up bullshit, anyways.Best not to worry about it or put merit. Placing your identity in the hands of a medical classification is never a positive thing to do.
>>84158291I think that would be unusual but very possible, I am similar in the sense that other people give me anxiety and I mistrust them, but I do not desire relationships with them. I'm CPTSD+Schizoid
>>84158307But I want to find communities of people I can identify myself with. I just want to know im not alone.
>>84158291>>84158313Also have you considered getting a pet?
>>84158321>Avoidant people>communityI fucking lol'dIf you want my experience anon, I spent years thinking I was shizoid only to realize as soon as someone pulled me out of my hole that I was only self-isolating and I am definitely not schizoid at all. Maybe something else because as soon as she had sex with me I immediately fell in mad love with a woman who didn't want a relationship, forced her to be my gf, then ended up being way to overemotional and insecure in that relationship.My point being, even if you think you are one way, you could be completely wrong about your own identity when those principles are put to the test.
>>84158291The schizoid diagnostic criteria is largely based on the outward presentation. Schizoids aren't perfect little asocial machines. Human relationships are dangerous, so they avoid them. After a while, they become so enmeshed in their inner worlds they feel they're fully self-sufficient, but the emptiness and longing for acceptance still malingers in the background. There is, or was, talk of removing the schizoid diagnosis and pushing it into AvPD. I don't agree, I think schizoid is a bit unique of a thing, but ultimately all diagnoses are made up categories and don't matter much.
>>84157764Isolate yourself enough and you'll get there.I'm really bad at socializing so I find it to be a fucking hassle 99% of the time.Something I say gets misinterpreted and some fucking retard starts raging at me for it, I can't find a proper word for something and I end up looking retarded, I use the wrong tone on accident and now the person I'm talking to loathes my very existence, It's exhausting, I don't know why people enjoy this shit and I don't know why I craved it in the past.
>>84158393>After a while, they become so enmeshed in their inner worlds they feel they're fully self-sufficient, but the emptiness and longing for acceptance still malingers in the backgroundthis is like the crux of this personality and it's also missing from the DSM funnily enough.
>>84158291None of this sounds like schizoid, you're not one, based on what you wrote. >>84158393 I don't really feel emptiness or any longing for acceptance, sure it is annoying when people deny you exist, saying you're just pretending to protect yourself from being hurt or any other bs, but human society doesn't interests me at all, it's too illogical, and set up in a way that rewards personality traits incompatible with mine, my anhedonia also prevents me from enjoying a lot of the stuff you're "supposed to". an anon above talked about "wanting to belong" the group/society thar I'd want to belong resembles the borg, including the no emotional signaling bs, among other things, the desire for logic also led me to fantasize/crave a governance system based on skynet. I just feel society as it is has virtually nothing to offer me, but to be honest those traits are more than just schizoid.
>>84158586>I don't really feel emptiness or any longing for acceptanceMaybe you're unique, but the emptiness is a pretty well documented feature of the disorder. I find it interesting that you don't like emotional signaling, I usually associate that kind of feeling with autism rather than schizoids. Personally, I love people who signal their emotions very strongly. They're easier to understand and I feel more secure around them since I always know how they feel about me.
>>84157750i'm trying to but my self hatred gets the best of me
>>84157750>Why aren't you schizoidmaxxing yet?I already am
>>84157750I still want sex, but its the idea of sex ive built in my mind which is basically impossible with foids. Its like a romanticized tender sex where real sex is nasty and mindless
>>84158353>I fucking lol'dI mean an online community, not like actually interacting with other people
>>84158443>Isolate yourself enough and you'll get there.Ive been isolating myself for over 10 years now and im still avoidant and not schizoid. I still feel miserable and lonely
Schzoid is derived from love and affection being unsafe, with the young child severing themself.
>>84157750So a retard?
i am an officially diagnosed schizoid
>>84157750I have all those characteristics but the confident and no interest in sex part
>>84159540Same here, let's not talk
>>84157750I don't know why it's considered a disorder. I've enjoyed every second of it and my only sources of distress regarding it came from people who wanted to change or help me out of a misguided notion that I was lonely. I do admittedly recognize the drawbacks of being like this, but I still think the benefits outweigh the detriments.
