Note that the single biggest determining factor for being schizoid is having a first-degree relative with schizophrenia, it increases your chances of being schizoid 7x.

It all starts making sense once you realize mental illness is diagnosed based on how it impedes your function as cattle in normalfaggot society.

>>214494442
I used to be like that as a kid, teen and young adult, up until my early-20s when I started putting effort in becoming more social and handle social interactions with new people... then I caught an illness which made most activities outside difficult at the ripe old age of 24 and have been mostly removed from society in real life, working remote to pay the bills. I have internet friends to cope now.

>>214496650
>a cluster C [avoidant] personality disorder characterized by excessive social anxiety and inhibition, fear of intimacy, severe feelings of inadequacy and inferiority, and an overreliance on avoidance of feared stimuli as a maladaptive coping method.

I don't have social anxiety, but I don't socialize much because I don't have anywhere to go or anything to do, and I would not know where to go in the first instance. I am not afraid of intimacy. I don't feel inadequate or inferior, but it's a fact that I am rather poor, which is limiting.

What does that make me?

Not as much but I would say it’s gradually increasing, at least in the west. Anything interesting costs some level of money, even if its just the petrol money or god forbid public transport, to drive to the “free” place like a beach or something, and costs are only ever rising. The USA is the only country I know of that has no loitering as a law, but even if you can loiter, its pretty fucking shit, may as well stay home where its comfy.

Literally me, except the psychologists are wrong about the whole "le fear and anxiety" thing, in fact I would consider social anxiety an exclusionary feature - that's AVPD etc; Source - I made it up

That nigga that made that whack ass cube of the PD dimensions was correct

I'd also argue Schizoid PD is barely a PD and is basically the pathologisation of "normal" behaviour die to the increasing "narcissisisation" of the "social" Overton window

A strange thing about the "disorder" is it really seems to attract "Cluster Bs" (BPDs in an actual attractive manner, NPDs in an attacking manner) somehow erroneously viewing them as a soft target but they're practically impenetrable fortresses for those types.

>>214494442

You're practically a cluster B without the delusions, this ain't the thread for you

>>214496489
Yes, that's also a good reasoning as to why it isn't really a proper personality disorder (though NPD and BPD are sort of related to genetic psychopathy potentially)

>>214495926
It's "similar" but "dimensionally" basically diametrically opposed

>>214496109
Is it really symptomatic of a PD if you actually are surrounded by untrustworthy people, like paranoid personality disorder has the disclaimer built in, but no one ever seems to consider it for Schizoid

>>214499410
It wasn't that way, I only treated her that way because of how triggering she was. I kept avoiding relationships before I met her. Something with her made it super traumatic and it felt like reliving my abusive childhood with my mom.

That being said I have some family issues and my mom was a stereotypical NPD mom.

most people waving around “schizoid” online are just malnourished, underslept, screen addicted shut-ins. if you eat trash, never exercise, don’t touch grass, and burn dopamine with porn/games/scrolling, you will feel flat, detached, emotionally blunted etc. Genuine schizoids are incredibly rare; 9 times out of 10 you just have symptoms that mimic it.

>>214499443
to add onto this I have avoidant attachment, however in a relationship with her I became unstable and could flip to incredibly anxious, especially near the end.

It felt like I was behaving more BPD-like then her, flipping between hating her and "loving" her.

either case, glad it's over as that was a cancer part of my life, can't admit I miss the intensity somewhat compared to normal relationships

what if i like the idea of relationships/friends(and in fact have imagined scenarios where i have them) but havent tried to get out and get them, like im too lazy to actually go and attempt to socialize and get them? im 30 and havent had friends since high school and am a khhv. what does that make me

>self-diagnose themselves with this

Psychology isn't a medical science, it describes a pattern of behavior. If those things in the OP apply to you then you might call yourself a schizoid but it's not some super unique disorder , especially in the age of the Internet

Schizoid, indeed. That's a perfectly rational response to a lifetime of being treated like complete shit by most people I've met. Different people, different places, different situations, and somehow it all ends with me getting treated like complete shit. Started on day 1 of kindergarten. Withdrawing from everyone is my only sane choice, because by actual evidence, everyone is an asshole; the only difference between them is how long it takes them to treat me like shit. Every friendship I have is conditional on them not treating me like complete shit; the instant it happens, I ghost them. Funny thing, not once has any of them tried to contact me after I drop them; they know what they did, and they know it was deliberate. Why don't these fancy doctors/professors/intellectuals/etc. try to deal with the asshole problem? I have a theory...because they're assholes, too.

>>214500651
Can you give examples of how they treat you like shit?

Marty?

>>214500674
Too many to even list, so I'll post one that was especially traumatizing. Years ago, when I went off to college, I made a good-faith effort to not be so bitter, to be more social, all that crap. I met two girls in one of my computer-programming classes; they became my lab partners. I ended up hanging out with them quite a bit outside of class. Once the semester was over, I remember calling them (they were roommates) to see if they wanted to party and hang out. She said "One moment." Then she covered the mouthpiece on the phone badly, and I heard her say "So we are done with him?" I heard an affirmative response. She came back, and in the most mocking, mean-spirited voice she could muster, said "We think you should go play with your computer." I was too shocked to reply, so I mumbled something, and the phone call ended. But it's a typical example; people come out of absolutely nowhere and treat me like shit.

>>214500727
Unfortunately, that's the way this world is. I had a friend who had this view but at an extreme level. Ironically, he thought everyone was against him even though he exploited other people the most. He never thought twice about freeloading off other people, but absolutely refuse to help others.

>>214495013

Then it doesn't count. There's no officialily to self-diagnosis and it's not accepted or respected by anyone who is told of it.

Self-diagnosing yourself is meaningless. It's just used for delusion and to try and garner sympathy.

>>214494442
I'm only like 35 pages into it, but this sure sounds like the book "Steppenwolf".

>>214500782
Damn. Be more selective and try to read people better. You chose some shallow bitches to befriend and they used you I guess to pass the class. Was the outside of class hanging out all still class related? I don't see them actually having a genuine good time with you and you're all friends and then they pull the rug out.
I guess people without the ability to vet motive and personality could get taken in by cruel users like them, but most people are nothing like that. And I'm sure that happened but I doubt it's typical. Why haven't you learned? It's simply not common for people to do that to others.

>>214494767
are you implying that you're not?

>>214500986
There's decency and naivety. Plenty of opportunists out there who will walk all over you if you lay down for them. Are you meek? Do you have any assertion to your personality at all? There are dumb and shameless people who will follow you around if you buy them things and take them places and they can benefit. But do they call you up and seem genuinely interested in how you are? The more socializing you do the better you get at reading people. You'll toughen up or wither away.

>>214501027
You think this is an isolated example? Dumbshit, this is just one example of a plethora that all have the same theme. People simply suck. There's nothing wrong with me; there is something identifiably wrong with nearly everyone else. Friends are just people that haven't stabbed me in the back yet. Your reply is basically one big cope of "that can't possibly be true; that can't possibly be the general pattern; that's not typical, that's not common". And I'm here to tell you that, in my life, YES IT FUCKING IS! OVER AND OVER AND OVER!

>>214501078
If it's common to you it's your own fault. Most people learn from their mistakes and wouldn't get into these faux friendships over and over and over again to make it common. Sure, there are people out there who may take advantage, but they aren't the majority by any means. Some people just act as a magnet to those types.
"Hey, there's an anon we can use up and throw out. Just look at his posture and shyness and eagerness to socialize!"
Paranoids will see the world as rife with these people, but that kind of thing is rare; like you read about it online and wonder 'who are these people and how do they get themselves into these situations??'

>>214501077
>>214501078
See >>214501120. This was NOT an isolated example. This is the general pattern. This has been going on since day 1 of kindergarten. Enough of your fucking coping; people are demonstrably pure shit, and the only variability between them is how long it takes them to reveal that.

>>214501120
Years and years ago. It's clearly your worst experience, but how often does it really happen?

You got stuck in that mindset and so you see it everywhere now. It's called confirmation bias. The fact that you're saying YOU are perfectly fine and kind and normal and everyone else is the problem is the first clue that this is a you thing.
Get some counseling. They can help you see the world differently.

>>214501133
I am not eager to socialize. Any friends I make are basically situations I couldn't avoid. And then I eventually get shit on anyway. You are simply making up a bunch of coping bullshit because you can't accept the fact that most people are pure shit.

>>214501147
Fine. Stay indoors and get deeper into this lifestyle until you lose it and become an active shooter or some shit. You're depressed and overly cynical.

Oh, just shut the fuck up. You clearly think I'm just making this up. Seriously, fuck you. You know nothing; you're basically just sealioning me. And as I made it clear before...it happens EVERY FUCKING TIME. The only difference is how long it takes to happen.

I won't accept that most people are pure shit because in my 45 years of life I have not experienced that. Sure, a few bad eggs now and then, but I can see them from a mile away. They are culled from the herd. I run with good people. We help each other out with our troubles and projects. We get together to talk about the state of the world and what's going on in our lives.
You may never be invited into a circle like that if you go around scowling at everyone all distrustful and furtive and bitter. It might be too late because your mindset seems quite fixed at this point. You're rejecting anyone else's advice and observations. I can't imagine you being a guy with a firm handshake and a look in the eye and a smile. You already suspect whoever's hand you're "forced" into shaking and probably just want to get it over with. lol
"Another cruel asshole just waiting to humiliate me." is what you're thinking and he can feel that. Ooof. I wish you well, dude.

Just shut the fuck up. This has been happening to me since day one of kindergarten. I didn't give in to blackpilled cynicism until my late 20s. Until then, I made a genuine effort to give people a chance. It never worked out, not fucking once. People are shitty & they shit on me. I don't care if that's not your experience; that is completely irrelevant. It's my experience, and I don't have the slightest idea why I've been singled out like this. You and your smug, dismissive arrogance can go straight to Hell. In all likelihood, you're assholes, and you don't like being called out. And now you, and everyone else in this thread, can see why people like me don't take advice from others. In conclusion...FUCK YOU.

>>214501271
NTA but looking someone in the eye and smiling is very womanly behavior

>>214495175
But it says lacks interest in sex and relationships. Lacking interest means you don't care. If you complain about being single, being a virgin, not having sex then you care about sex and relationships. Most anons care. Most people who claim they don't are just coping. What they really mean is they have accepted it, but they don't lack interest.

You have to become ruthless when dealing with others or they’ll treat you like trash while pretending to be human. Humans are opportunistic cowards, instincts hardwire normalfags to manipulate, flatter, backstab, and submit to higher authority. It's a reflection of their meekness.

Most people also actively pursue those things and would settle to have sex with any woman. Or man. Or tranny. I think if you’re not even trying at all to get a relationship or have friends and are just content with that then there is something wrong

>>214495175
Deleuze and Guattari were right all along

I'm like this but I want sex and I enjoy exactly one relationship. For some reason I prefer to have just a single, solid compatriot. Although most normies can't be trusted therefore I don't really want even one on that basis (but the underlying desire is there)

>>214495125
Normgroids act like you're weird for this but the average male in his 50's has no true friends in the childhood sense. That's actually exceedingly rare. People just use whatever criticism is expedient to otherize people based on prejudice

>>214501977
Worst part of "AI" is how normgroids use it to confirm their biases and then act like they're right with zero critical thinking.

this is not a disorder, this is the natural response to realising fully what people are.
I don't actively dislike people, I just tend to not like the territory that comes with constant social engagement.
I don't mind hanging out with people once in a blue moon, having a few drinks, joking around etc. But beyond I don't like being intertwined with the social dynamics of endless power/ status games, having to constantly monitor what you say and how you behave in case you make some tiny faux pas, which people will instinctively judge you harshly on. And people ARE harsh judges. I've been gaslit enough about "people aren't really even judging you, it's all in your head"
there is simply nothing enjoyable to me about being in a constant state of wondering where you stand with people. One day people can seemingly love hanging out with you, and the next it seems you're presence is nothing but an annoyance. People say one thing and then do another.

>>214503692

Besides manipulative intent, poor memory can lead to that behavior.

>>214501378
Oh vey, I've been expelled from 109 friend groups. That cannot have anything to do with me. Surely it's because they are all assholes.

Never forget the kindergarden!

I have this. Was diagnosed in grippy socks and everything. Schizoids who haven't read up on the disorder (or otherwise known something was off about themselves and been desperately trying to fix it for years) will often encounter it online like this and balk at it. It's well known we tend to function mostly good enough and are very capable of rationalizing that our personality type is fine. Also a lot of people who don't have it just cannot wrap their heads around the way it is described as not wanting relationships. That's because it's just a shitty description and it's actually a lot more like the hedgehog's dilemma. If you have more questions, stop fucking reading 4chan and start slogging through Guntrip.

Also stfu and post kino. There are very few movies which portray this well and even fewer where the schizoid heals realistically. The best I've seen was the The Station Agent starring Peter Dinklage.

>>214503815
idk man maybe I've just had a fair deal of shitty manipulative people in my life.

Take my Dad and his current wife. For years they'd be like

>you know you're welcome to stay over here (their house) anytime you want
>Then when I actually did asked to stay my Dad would leave me on read for a few days and they'd come back with some list of requirements to staying over

or when a guy from my old friend group was like

>dude come over tonight and have some drinks, we haven't seen you in ages it would be so good to catchup
>decide "fuck it" and go and then when I turn up he barely says hi to me and acts like I just invited myself over

>>214494442
I check yes for most of these, however...
I am not indifferent to criticism but I am indifferent to praise

Anyone that uses the word "manipulative" unironically IS manipulative.

>>214504004
people say things they don't really mean to be polite. the words themselves are what matter not the content.

Anyone else find at work that people turn against you really quickly because you just want to mind your own business and not have dumb pointless conversations? I become the weirdo guy extremely quickly despite not really talking to people unless necessary.

>>214495673
It’s worth asking if you actually really want friends, or if you just think you need them because you’re insecure. I discovered that I didn’t really want friends. Do you want friends anon? Do you really care about normalfags? Do you really want to connect with them?

Yes. My normie coworker has two times asked me to chip in for birthday presents for other coworkers. I work in pest control. I meet my coworkers once every 4 months and I don't particularly care for them, why should I be paying for some random dudes presents? I don't go to any work hosted "parties" either. My reasoning is apparently incompatible with the normalfag mindset.

arent both diagnosis and self diagnosis useless because we cant actually see into someones brain?

if it was one girl it would be different but if its two of them they get into a feedback loop of the most insane shitty behavior

Grandfather on my mother's side was an OG sanitorium "belt him down and give him electrical shocks" manic depressive. My mom says I remind her of him, even in looks. Dad and his dad were mega spergs and BPD. Growing up I suffered physical and mental abuse from all of my family. I basically grew up on the Internet watching Facial Abuse and gore videos and had zero moral compass.

I always yearned for love and friendship as a young adult. I've been in trouble all my life with the law, people have felt something was "off" with me the first time they met me. I do however look good, am tall and white and can mask my behavior somewhat which has helped immensely in getting out of trouble. It took a lot of time and reflection however to realize that I was always the problem, not everyone else.

Nothing has helped as much as psychedelics, the first time I experienced ego death was complete bliss. It broke me out of my own mind and I cannot recommend it enough for schizos in a similar situation. It took a lot to realize I genuinely don't like most other people and that I have nothing to gain from hanging out with normalfags. Being happy in just hanging out with yourself is a true super power. Thanks for reading my blog.

Just do it anon, in the long run it will be better. The bit of Goodwill will offset the monetary value.

schizoid personality is not connected to schizophrenia (being 'schizo'). it's literally just a coincidence that people chose the same word for two unrelated 'mind' things

This might be true, I just wanted to chime in. I can't tell how many of my issues stem from genes, shitty upbringing or just lack of socialization, maybe I'm just a shitty person. I don't give much for self-diagnosing oneself with online tests either, it's a bit like doing online IQ tests. As another anon said, mental illness is just a word thrown around to determine to what extent you don't fit in with modern society.
