Anyone else here have Schizoid Personality Disorder? How much of a social life do you have?
>>85765347I developed it because I was isolated for 5 years, not the other way round
>>85765383Apparently being neglected as a child can contribute to developing it. I don't know if I was particularly neglected as a child but then again I have very few memories from that time period.
>>85765347None nada nil
I thought that's what I had, but now I think I'm just an introvert
>>85765347I don't have a social life beyond video games. And even them the small group that I have is people that I just tend find useful to me (chopper gunners, tank gunners), so it's very utilitarian.
I don't have a social life other than talking to my parents sometimes. I live with my parents and wageslave at an Amazon warehouse where I don't talk to anyone except when necessary. At home, I stay in my room browsing the internet and playing video games. I am 30 years old and was NEET since high school until I got this job at 28. Wageslavery and being around people makes me miserable. I just want to spend my life shut in my room.
>>85765481>>85765485Do either of you have anxiety or is it purely a lack of interest that keeps you from pursuing social relations?
>>85765347i had nearly no friends growing up and was neglected pretty bad. i don't even want to be a schizoid but it seems like the fate that's been thrust upon me. i just can't into relationships. wish i was normie
>>85765500Bro, read the OP. It's SchizoidPD
>>85765547I am OP, I was just wondering if they have co-occurring anxiety, because I had for a while.
has anyone been diagnosed with this or is everyone self diagnosed?
>>85765347>How much of a social life do you have?none whatsoever i barely even talk to my parentsi'm not lonely but it can be hardthe worst part is earning money because i will never escape bottom of the barrel work and even that is hard to get
>>85765347I don't have one but it doesn't bother me. I never wanted one.
I lost all semblance of a social life after highschool. I barely interacted with my school friends outside of school, so there was nothing tying me to anyone once we got out.I dont desire friendships now but it would be nice to at least have a gf.
>>85765408Yeah i feel like being neglected trained me to feel okay with having no social life because not even my family ever interacted with me.>>85765500i have 0 interest in having one i never did.i didnt speak at all through primary or secondary school.
>>85765347I haven't had a friend for 8 years and I don't desire one
a lot of anons think they're autistic but they more likely have this instead. I'm reminded of even ancient posts from anons from several boards describing their childhoods as being a little weird and sad but instead they're describing textbook examples of a schizoid upbringing
>>85765347I have no friends and am pretty dysfunctional, but I have a partner that I rely on so it could be way worse
>>85766007assuming you're a man, how did you get a gf?
>>85766073im gay. we met on 4chan
>>85765347I've always related to schizoids after looking it up when an anon said that I sound like I have it but I don't have an actual diagnosis.
>>85765927pretty much anyone "a little weird" these days can get mistaken or even misdiagnosed as autistic.
>>85765347I do. I don't have one and don't give a shit about having one.
>>85765500Living at home is a big factor. If you live at home with your parents at the big 3 0, you have basically failed life. What's the man child going to do, invite good chums to play video games in his childhood bedroom? Real men would be cracking cold ones open with the boys for a game of footy in a sticky living room with the leather settee.
