I have a friend like this!! Let me just say they are very selfish people and dont give a shit about you or your problems. You might as well befriend a wall.
I could f u ck you up the ass instead of being a night watchman really well because I will not really give a sh i t, right?. I do not like it being called a disorder...heck....everyone else should be called non-schizoid personality disorder!
I was just diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder. I been seeing a therapist for a month now, and I saw a psychiatrist yesterday . The psychiatrist talked to me for about 30 minutes, and diagnosed me. The psych put me on celexa for major depression, and wants me to keep seeing my therapist. I don't think they can help me or change my ways of thinking nor do I really want them to.
@AndresGiudiceG My family pressured me into going because I started to isolate more, and distance myself from them. I live with them so not much of a choice.
@2JAVAN Avoidant PD is in laments terms, having an inferiority complex. They avoid social situations because they are fearful of being mocked or criticized.
Schizoid on the other hand is what is thought of as the "happy loner". They just prefer to be by themselves. They can function in social situations, but dont prefer it.
@CyJoZa: "Avoidant PD is in laments terms, having an inferiority complex. They avoid social situations because they are fearful of being mocked or criticized."
Doesn't that apply to most people?
"Schizoid on the other hand is what is thought of as the "happy loner". They just prefer to be by themselves. They can function in social situations, but dont prefer it."
Then it's not a disorder, except perhaps to a society that can't accept some people don't comply to it's "norms".
@Zhawq Avoidant PD's will NOT go into social situations because they fear being mocked. People may have traits of this, like any other disorder, but it does not apply to everyone.
And yes, SPD are labeled disorder because some guy somewhere said that it does not fall into societal norms. Always has amused me that Schizoid remains in DSM but homosexuality has fallen out.
How is it possible that so many people like this video?
The two types of information presented are: reading aloud from the mayo clinic page, and prejudiced bs that just stigmatizes the personality type. I am certain that she has never interacted with a schizoid individual, or if she has that she didn't understand them at all.
People, vote this video down! The fact that it shows up on a google search for 'schizoid' is a travesty!
@TheBlinkyImp I have to agree she sounds like she does not know any schizoid individuals, or hasn't put any effort into actually getting to know them. She does not seem like she knows what she's talking about.
Some people in my family has schizophrenia and I think I have schizoid personality disorder, but i wont go to a doctor or anything, then wouldn't they just put me in social situations or what do they do? Because to be honest id like help cus sometimes i feel like i get all stressed but I dont feel anything, it's weird and complicated to explain but very frustrating!
this is the laziest psychologist i have ever seen.no shit!! really? uhhh.....ummmm....and uhhhh....and uuuummmm....i didn't sleep last night so ummm.....it really could be uh....just learned...uh...people who are abused....uhhh....if you are arrested, ummm.... you are.
Actually I am schizoid and I have a pretty high desire to have sex with other individuals
so i think this lady has no fucking idea what shes talking about
just because you don't like talking to other people and its unlikely to start a relationship doesn't mean you can't find a woman incredible sexy and want sex with her
@ProtossX whats being a schizoid like? i always feel like i come close to being a schizoid, like maybe 80%, but I can also be extroverted if I want to, but it never really feels natural... and i agree with the sexual thing, i think the whole sexual preference thing is more sociopathic than anything.
@LoniganTheDragon The closest thing I can think of in media that is representative of schizoid, is sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Although, it can be far, far more severe than that.
@ProtossX I think she knows what she talks about. Because schizoids doesn't have any desire to have sex with others. :P Seems like you have anyways. Idk why.
Sadly, this psychiatrist presents a highly cliched and extremely inaccurate description of schizoid personality disorder. According to this psychiatrist, the schizoid individual is emotionless. I have schizoid personality disorder and know numerous people with schizoid personality disorder and I can assure you that not a single one of us is emotionless. We may APPEAR emotionless to others, but we do in fact have plenty of emotion. This video is notihng but a list of worthless cliches.
She is talking like everyone is the most extreme case, lol.
I have this, and people with this disorder does not have lower IQ than the rest, so its very easy to fake a social acceptable behaviour even if u dont care or feel much... ever seen dexter?
Btw ppl with this ALWAYS have emotions, some people enjoy homework, i dont, i also find people to be like homework, i dont enjoy it.
And wtf, OFC i dont do romantic stuff alone, i dont walk in moonlight alone... Do you guys do that?
@Hallbazz studies suggest that people who posses a higher level of intelligence tend to be loners, or a bit withdrawn. From the forums i go on involving schizoids the typical agreement among them is that if they are going to be involved in conversation they enjoy deep meaningful convo as opposed to small talk.
Einstein was a loner as well as a majority of other accredited scientists in terms of the social community. However they were still aware of what happens in the social world.
@Gtrplyr1 Introverts do tend to have a higher intelligence, but having SPD is a different story. Introverts tend to have motivation to further their knowledge and do well in academic settings. Schizoids on the other tend hand lack motivation to excel in academic fields, and tend to "float" rather than "power" through.
Being introverted, or even heavily introverted does not immediately indicate that your have SPD. Nor does it mean that schizoids share the thought processes of introverts.
@CyJoZa I wasn't saying that schizoids have higher intelligence, I was saying those of really high intelligence tend to be withdrawn, don't have a lot of friends, and have similar symptoms of a schizoid in regards of lack of strong emotions etc...
She's only explaining the so-called disorder of what it looks like by the outside. She explains as there is absolutely no emotions whatsoever -- I have been diagnosed with schizoid and what she is explaining isn't really accurate.
@ZogJhones No you're not the only one, there are many people out there like you and me. I usually avoid social activities for being too bored around people.
As someone who had been trained in the sciences, I had been told to develop a thick skin and to never take criticism personally. I was told to think objectively and not to worry about what everybody else thinks. Artists and scientists make strange bedfellows on this alleged "disorder." Of course I don't need treatment. I need to be let alone by busybodies, clingy dependents, and drama queens. I have bigger fish to fry, or at least funner, more interesting fish. Not that I give a shit. :)
yes and no,, schizoids dont think everyone else is below or above from where they are, they just think too much about this balance that they find themself going into deep details then relise there talking to themself but still dont care because theyr jus reminding how much they know,, i wasent born like this it came to me in 2009 and this year has gone SO fast i have only left my house 4-5times this year, i stressed on my bday because i HAD to go out my mum said. i comunicate fine on the net ^^
why don't schizoids just stop it, nobody buys their act, it's just a cover up because they don't have anything to say, they sit there a whole fucking class and don't say a word, why are you here? I hate them, they act like they're above everyone and its wrong, "I don't wanna talk, blah blah" cut the fucking shit, beat them until they talk, schizoids are un-American
@tksol Let me guess: you are a histrionic or a narcissist because we schizoids could care less and won't stop the world every time some prima donna or drama queen decides to have another tantrum?
Wow i got this for sure!..at least some parts of it... dont see anything wrong with it at all, doesnt effect your day to day life..you just like being alone and have your own space ... i have friends iv known since kindergarten,
but if i moved away tomorrow and never seen them again, i wouldnt be upset about it or even really care for that matter lol! ...i would just move on and keep going like nothing!.. ..i dont get attached to things or people, iv learned not to for sum reason?
Not to be contentious, but I don't seem to hear her attributing negative qualities to this condition. She seems to simply be describing a categorizable personality type. I would think that it would be taken for granted, too, that this is simply a generalized picture of this personality type, and not necessarily describing traits that all people with schizoid 'disorder' share in equal measure.
this lady is full of shit. I identify as being schizoid (I hate groups, don't find social dynamics interesting in any dimension other than a theoretical one and spend most of my time alone while enjoying it and only keep about 1 or 2 'close' friends at a time - if you could call it that considering the mercenary nature of it often) but I DO like nature, and I like walking alone in the park and sitting by the tree with a book. That's much more fulfilling than clubs or parties with shallow people
Nothing wrong with being a "schizoid" the DR needs to back off in my opinion. She has an overbearing personality type and has the arrogance to expect everyone to conform to what she thinks is right.
This is all wrong. I have been diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder. it is true that we are loners and have solitary activities, but we do have emotions and realize what others have around.
Good grief! If this individual's attitude toward SPDs is typical of mental health care professionals, it's little wonder that schizoids avoid treatment!
Yes, but how dangerous is this information in the hands of laymans .... do not tell layman that a certain behaviour is evidence of mental illness ... simply, do NOT go on YouTube and talk about behaviour pattern. The layman is a dangerous person.
This is a personality type, not a personality disorder. But how typical of modern society to label everything that doesn't fit into the standards of main stream as disorderly, abnormal, pathological, etc..
Apart from that, this psychiatrist is pretty informative for a layman. Good set of interviews.
@Zhawq The psychiatrist is an idiot, but it IS a disorder. The personality type would be introverted. Schizoid is very, very extreme.
I remember reading through symptoms and examples in behavioral sciences and self-diagnosed myself with SPD. It was only when I saw clinical examples that I saw how extreme it is.
DSM diagnosis does not give a actual view on what the disorder is.
@CyJoZa ... You have a point, but every kind of personality can become a disorder if extreme enough. The problem is that in modern day society it takes very little to be labeled disordered.
- I have a friend who fits this description to the letter, and they were in fact diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder. But nobody suffers, not even society!
And this is my point: ... Preference for Solitude is not a Disorder.
@CyJoZa ... another problem I have with this is the stated lack of emotion or feelings in a Schizoid person. Whereas I can easily see how they can arrive at this conclusion (and some schizoids even believe it themselves), I think it is very dangerous to set standards for what is emotional and what isn't. I have found it is very much a question about how close to a person you get before you can evaluate their feelings - something that rarely happens in of cases of schizoid personalities.
@Zhawq well said! I myself have some aspects of this 'disorder' but I feel that I am made a better person through occasional times of preferred solitude.
@WanderingRover Yep, I definitely agree. I have seen my friend go through hell when they were younger and tried to 'fit in' and live up to common standards of socializing etc.. Since they decided to follow their inner "instincts" and go with what is their personality, they've grown beyond even my expectations in terms of maturity, sensitivity, and have become a thoughtful yet highly individual human being. They've stated that they have never been happier or more at peace with themselves.
@WanderingRover Very precisely said! ...An artist who is recognized by society is called "excentric", and we are understanding towards their 'need for solitude', because it's 'how artists are', they need to level with the 'artistic flow', and so on. But for the majority who didn't have the luck (or the connections, or the social skills to make them), we say they're disordered, a-social, too self absorbed, etc. And they are told to "Stop fantasizing and get a Real job!", etc..
@M1s7erH That's almost true, but only almost. In reality people are diagnosed if the symptoms are severe enough to be classifiable as 'abnormal' as related to mainstream societal standards. Many "schizoid" people are quite happy with how they are.
And it's not about keeping a job, but about keeping a job AND socialize and maintain peer relationships at your job as pertaining to common societal norms and expectations which have nothing to do with the job itself.
Down here in Australia, doctors/psychiatrists etc... basically believe that everyone is either a hypochondriac or a drug addict and consequently, a diagnosis of anything is pretty rare.
@M1s7erH Yeah, they have a hard time finding a balance, not only down under, but everywhere. One can wonder why it never occurs to these diagnosing professionals that there just 'might' be a reason why people become drug addicts, or even hypochondriacs. - I know the "every patient is a hypochondriac" syndrome, it's a disorder in terms of negativity and contempt in attitude towards the very people they're under oath to help, as well as profound lack of insight.
@M1s7erH These people will rather misdiagnose and dismiss people who truly need help than risk 'helping' a junkie to 5 mg of Valium they might have been able to live without.
The shame is on these physicians!...Not on the drug addicts who very, very rarely choose to be in the situation of a desperately driven search for medications and drugs.
Usually low intelligent shrinks and especially newly graduate are very arrogant and sure. But they haven't even started to walk the landscape of psychology. They are just like parrots reiterating what the books tought them.
All the Nuts in the world are allready in America. The shirinks are just trying to find their way there like columbus. They are such retards. And ontop of it all they are labeling us as mentaly ill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeez how stupid can the world get?????
Personality disorder must not be concluded from a study of behaving. It must be a study of feeling. Does the person feel they have to behave this way or is the society forcing them to behave this way.... stupid shrinks
One of the main positive point of being a loner is: you make the decisions all by yourself, it feels as if you are in control of the situation. In a group, you will have to conform to the group's "consensus", some degree of "personal" autonomy is thereby sacrificed. It is for these following reasons why some ppl (including me) chose to be a loner / isolationist.
I might have Schizoid personality disorder;i do have a strong bond with my family though, but i find it hard to empathise with outsiders. I don't like bogging others down with my issues, likewise, I don't expect outsiders to tie me down with their problems. It's somewhat of an "isolationist" attitude. I still do interact with people outside of my immediate family though and that's only becuz, communication is vital in the working life. In short, i avoid social interaction unless it's necessary.
This is the problem with psychiatry, how can a woman who has obviously gone through a normal life truly apprediate what its like to have mental illness. Everything she says comes from a textbook, not personal experience.
If you ask me I think everyone is turning into a Schizoid nowdays, thanx to the internet of course many people find it easier to just go online or play on there console than to go outside and participate in an outdoor activity.
wow I guess I'm a schizoid cause all my life I've never wanted to make friends and people just think thats weird and I've been called weird all because I didn't want to play musical chairs with the other kiddies,lOl, I fucking love myself.
thought this was describing me for a minute. but i absolutely would enjoy walking on the beach in the moonlight by myself. i don't lack strong emotion, i just control where i apply it and leave it out where it's not helpful. i crave social contact, i only live a solitary existence because the majority of people simply don't meet my standards for good socialisation, and contact with them is unpleasant.
Its the Gov't doing this to people, with their use of psychotronic weapons. I've been a Schizoid since childhood. I was informed at school (by people in Secret Societies) that the gov't was "screwing-me-up" and I didn't know that they were doing it. It had something to do with my political opinions. I spent most of my childhood in my room gazing at the ceiling. My adulthood has been the same. we need to find a way to get these people out of our schools and away from our kids.
What she's saying is very generic and formulaic, bordering on inaccuracy. The labeling she's applying is so strong that it looks like these people can be singled out in a crowd, like they have 3 heads or something. This is completely preposterous. One needs to approach the issue in a different way, taking into consideration quantitative and qualitative differences of avoidance. It is NOT TRUE that the isolation is desired. It is forced upon them by their own feelings of inadequacy.
well, intense emotions, well maybe... I tend to express my emotions less than others on average, and I'm more comfortable alone a bit, I guess... online gaming > offline gaming for me... lol I LIKE WALKING ON THE BEACH IN THE MOONLIGHT WTF.
I think she's talking about some sort of uber SPD person, "worst case scenario"
if we assume that, I think we can say, "okay tone some of those differences down a bit, does this fit me?"
Is it just that I'm on the internet? Most of the "SPD's" commenting on Yt seem reasonably emotional and ambitious. From my personal experience (me and another guy from school), and based on the descriptions, SPD's shouldn't have goals or hobbies that would benefit from being antisocial, nor should they "feel" any better. I don't have goals or wishes, my hobbies are rocking back and forth and pacing around the house unless somebody makes me do something.
I am sure of one thing. Schizoid persons see a difference between solitude and loneliness. My family is beginning to see this-I don't hate anyone or detest situations, I prefer solitary activities. I WILL speak if spoken to, but I don't know...I always remember as a child when there was a school carnival or birthday party-I would grab my crayons, clour, and daydream.
This is what the New World Order leaders want. Be isolated and alone. Do not start families or have close ties to friends. Console yourself until the day you die. You were never interesting to begin with.
I'm interested in sex, just casual, when ever it happens. I'm to selfish and uncaring for an intimate relationship. I'll rather not be around people if there's something I can do about it.
@guitarszzz You're right. I've always been a loner and I'm pretty sure I'm a schizo. And? Other humans are almost always boring and/or enerving and don't even notice that, they consider themselves gourgeous what makes things even worse. My teachers often told me I should become more "social", but why I shall go towards people who always mobbed me and are stupid like sh*t? Being "schizoid" is sane and normal, not being "normal". There's a reason I became a schizo.
i believe i am suffering from this currently in my life.. i fit all the symptoms listed and have been doing some research on this... I believe it is an environmental issue with me being that i have been through some legal problems and naturally grew on the idea that if i stay solitary i will stay out of trouble(my problems involved the social scene.... I avoided people parties etc and began realizing that i have less trouble in life, drama etc and just became conditioned to being isolated...
i just figured out that i had this shit hour ago, am now recognizing all the symptoms of this disorder in my personality, its good to know that there is a reason behind my strangeness =) and now im going to try to work on all of the problems ;)
@UncleFexxer Schizoids are normal people but don't like to socialize. Asspies are just retards who think they're smart. In fact asspies usually enjoy attention because they're such giant attention whores. So one could say Asperger's is the opposite of Schizoid.
interesting... thiese disorders changes or it is posible to have all of them at the same tame. For example about my self... I dont like interact with peoples in real life at all, i have no friends, i dont even have relationships with my parents. I like to be alone, other persons arent interesting to me. I drink, if you mess with me in real life, ill set your car, house on fire, or maybe worse. Yes, i also like to start fires, when i was young, i took cats, dogs on 6 floor, and drop them
@DemolitionDude954 out of window just for fun. In my eyes pregnant woman got hurt, and i didnt help her, becouse i just didnt know what to feel, what emotion use, what to do, i felt nothing actualy, so just walked away... i also like to be in atention centre like a anonymous wilain, you know, when i did something i listening what other peoples talk, and when they say something like this "who could do this" it drives me crazy.
yes, we DO have strong emotions. we just often don't want to show them in public. and i don't know about other schizoids out there, but i'm really sensitive to praise and criticism. i hate conflict, and i want people to be happy with what i do..... x.x
Yeah, but there are "negative" schizoids that can be very sociable but as an act. They can sometimes do it well, mostly they are slightly off kilter in their attempted social interactions. They often get diagnosed as having Asperger's.
I´d like to have her as my therapist. She seems nice. I developed schizophrenia-like psychosis and major depression. So be warned! This disorder is worse than it seems.
She's not entirely wrong. I'm diagnosed with this disorder, and yes I have a first degree relative that seems to have schizophrenia. Some things that are wrong, are that I am not 'emotionless'. I have emotions but I do not display them like she says.
Schizoids would like sexual relationships, but when it happens it feels like depersonalizing. Most won't go in for treatment, except for me. I don't feel therapy works. Low doses of antipsychotics, wellbutrin perhaps.
the way she's describing it, it doesn't sound like a "disorder". It's just that they prefer to be alone and that's cool. I don't see what's necessarily wrong with them.
Well, it's arguable, isn't it, that the fullest, most rewarding life is one in which a person has successful, lasting relationships with others? Although the word 'disorder' has negative connotations, It's understandable that this condition should be lumped in with the others since it does represent such a deviation from the norm. It could probably be better described as a deviation than a disorder, though. I'd certainly rather have a schizoid as a neighbor than an antisocial personality.
@Wierdgirl5834 Its an outside looking in type thing, you see someone who enjoys or prefers doing things that would drive most people mad so its a disorder. There is no real harm in the condition from what I can tell its just different from the majority.
like mental disorders should be applied to people who NEED the medication and who are a threat to society or themselves...isolating yourself away from the idiots of the world...nothing wrong with that. I think this is just some way to categorize people who don't mold in with society..There are people who don't like other people because of the way they were treated by other people...it's not something your brain can just turn on.
@imperiocorrupto Because everyone is an idiot, but you right? :/ Please, grow up and realize that the world isn't as black and white as your bitter little mind makes it out to be.
@imperiocorrupto And she isn't talking about people who were treated badly she is talking about a genetic mental condition. Actually take time to familiarize yourself with the subject matter next time.
i think this is bullshit. There's something wrong with people who don't like other people? No wonder, look at the world we live in!! Some people just havn't developed socially while growing up, maybe they were picked on by bullies...really now, I don't see anything wrong with this...Just because someone is not like everyone else in the world, and aren't a bunch of social whores partying at the bars every weekend, and prefer to sit at home and read a book...there's nothing wrong with that..
I don't consider myself 'restricted' with my emotions. I prefer to be alone, because I don't like most people. As for walking on the beach in the Moonlight, I enjoy it. How is it a disorder to not be needy? Why do you 'guilt' people into things?
If you continue to say we have a 'disorder' then it is no wonder why nobody comes in.
When did personality traits become personality ''disorders''? If the ''personality'' does not hurt oneself or others in an ''obvious'' way, what is the problem?There is some contempt in her '' analysis''.
Indeed, I too think she speaks so generally that it makes me barf my guts out. I feel myself like a schizoid and maybe I am, but don't see in it so much evidence of a disease. I reckon that being schizoid means realizing how shallow other people are, and you're just trying to live on your own, in peace with yourself while at the same time you don't hurt nor mistreat those who are around you. SCHIZOIDISM=DISAGREEMENT OR REPULSION OF ANY RULES OR REGULATIONS THIS SICK SOCIETY IMPOSES US.
As a diagnised severe schizoid she has hit a lot of how I am very very well. It is an illnes with a lot of different symptoms and for some all she has said may not fit well at all.
My own personal experience of schizoid personality (my brother was diagnosed with it almost 10 years ago and I have a schizoid personality minus the disorder/diagnosis) leads me to believe this Doctor is not an authority on the topic, a lot of what she said does not apply to what I know from experience and is just plain wrong.
But I do live in Britain so maybe there is a massive difference in how it is classified in the US. My brother was married for 4 years (post diagnosis), he likes sex a lot, he has friends and his withdrawal from social interactions is not based on preference - he has no choice because of his akward behaviour and he feels overwhelmed by others at times. Any disorder with schizoid, schizotypal, schizophrenic, schizophreniform etc in its name is so complex a video like this can only mislead people
@CrowThumb I hear what you're saying, but I think she is talking about the extreme schizoid personality type. In reality most people won't be so extreme and won't necessarily fulfil all the criteria to the maximum extent.
@Crow Thumbs up I agree so you got a thumbs up from me. Without thinking my feeling is she describes the world she want it to be. So anybody who lost intrest in the world and simply is empty and does not care anymore is what? And people who the society is pushing out and have given up and also don't care anymore they are what?
Problem with psychology is it is not so scientfic. Disorder 1 shares 9 symtoms with disorder 2 which share 9 out of 10 symptoms with disorder 3 and so on. Just Relax.
So as I understand it, a "schizoid" person is content and are not an emotional wrecks, have no intense anger or self pitty. They have the mental capacity to dismantle and then reasemble high tech machinery. Do not rely on others for validation, can not be guilt tripped and do not feel ashamed of them self, enjoy intelectual introspection an don't impose them selves on others. So is there medication to become "schizoid" I want to be one.
What a bunch of psycho babble nonsense ! This is another creatively "recognized" *new* mental illness from a long line of very *needy* psychologists & psychologists, who are trying to "create awareness" for their new malady.
@avideditor7 well actually, Schizoid disorder has been studied over 100 years. I tend to share your opinion however that there are many "disorders" made up just so people can get rich treating them with drugs and other means.
No offense to anyone, but do some of you really believe this disorder bullshit? I've been in mental hospital (called institutes now). I didn't find any person to be "mentally ill" so to speak in any case.
You just only need to know how to "handle" these "mentally ill" persons and everything is fine.
In the case of Personality Disorders, it's not so much "disorder" as extremes of personality. The reason they are considered "disordered" is because of the disruption of life that can occur. A person with Narcissitic PD who cannot value teamwork, for example, or a person with Paranoid PD who can't stand to leave their house. When people cannot live their lives, there is a problem. As to how serious the issue is, well...that's where psychology and society begin to hedge.

I was just diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder. I been seeing a therapist for a month now, and I saw a psychiatrist yesterday .

What's the difference between Scizoid personality disorder and avoidance personality disorder? Is the only difference the desire for sex?
2JAVAN 1 year ago
@2JAVAN Avoidant PD is in laments terms, having an inferiority complex. They avoid social situations because they are fearful of being mocked or criticized.
Schizoid on the other hand is what is thought of as the "happy loner". They just prefer to be by themselves. They can function in social situations, but dont prefer it.

@CyJoZa: "Avoidant PD is in laments terms, having an inferiority complex. They avoid social situations because they are fearful of being mocked or criticized."
Doesn't that apply to most people?
"Schizoid on the other hand is what is thought of as the "happy loner". They just prefer to be by themselves. They can function in social situations, but dont prefer it."
Then it's not a disorder, except perhaps to a society that can't accept some people don't comply to it's "norms".

@Zhawq Avoidant PD's will NOT go into social situations because they fear being mocked. People may have traits of this, like any other disorder, but it does not apply to everyone.

Sadly, this psychiatrist presents a highly cliched and extremely inaccurate description of schizoid personality disorder. According to this psychiatrist, the schizoid individual is emotionless. I have schizoid personality disorder and know numerous people with schizoid personality disorder and I can assure you that not a single one of us is emotionless. We may APPEAR emotionless to others, but we do in fact have plenty of emotion. This video is notihng but a list of worthless cliches.

CyJoZa 1 year ago
@Hallbazz studies suggest that people who posses a higher level of intelligence tend to be loners, or a bit withdrawn. From the forums i go on involving schizoids the typical agreement among them is that if they are going to be involved in conversation they enjoy deep meaningful convo as opposed to small talk.
Einstein was a loner as well as a majority of other accredited scientists in terms of the social community. However they were still aware of what happens in the social world.
Gtrplyr1 1 year ago
@Gtrplyr1 Introverts do tend to have a higher intelligence, but having SPD is a different story. Introverts tend to have motivation to further their knowledge and do well in academic settings. Schizoids on the other tend hand lack motivation to excel in academic fields, and tend to "float" rather than "power" through.
Being introverted, or even heavily introverted does not immediately indicate that your have SPD. Nor does it mean that schizoids share the thought processes of introverts.
CyJoZa 1 year ago

@Zhawq The psychiatrist is an idiot, but it IS a disorder. The personality type would be introverted. Schizoid is very, very extreme.
I remember reading through symptoms and examples in behavioral sciences and self-diagnosed myself with SPD. It was only when I saw clinical examples that I saw how extreme it is.
DSM diagnosis does not give a actual view on what the disorder is.

@CyJoZa ... You have a point, but every kind of personality can become a disorder if extreme enough. The problem is that in modern day society it takes very little to be labeled disordered.
- I have a friend who fits this description to the letter, and they were in fact diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder. But nobody suffers, not even society!
And this is my point: ... Preference for Solitude is not a Disorder.
Zhawq 1 year ago 2
@CyJoZa ... another problem I have with this is the stated lack of emotion or feelings in a Schizoid person. Whereas I can easily see how they can arrive at this conclusion (and some schizoids even believe it themselves), I think it is very dangerous to set standards for what is emotional and what isn't. I have found it is very much a question about how close to a person you get before you can evaluate their feelings - something that rarely happens in of cases of schizoid personalities.

@WanderingRover Yep, I definitely agree. I have seen my friend go through hell when they were younger and tried to 'fit in' and live up to common standards of socializing etc..

They've stated that they have never been happier or more at peace with themselves.

One of the main positive point of being a loner is: you make the decisions all by yourself, it feels as if you are in control of the situation. In a group, you will have to conform to the group's "consensus", some degree of "personal" autonomy is thereby sacrificed. It is for these following reasons why some ppl (including me) chose to be a loner / isolationist.

Well, it's arguable, isn't it, that the fullest, most rewarding life is one in which a person has successful, lasting relationships with others? Although the word 'disorder' has negative connotations, It's understandable that this condition should be lumped in with the others since it does represent such a deviation from the norm. It could probably be better described as a deviation than a disorder, though. I'd certainly rather have a schizoid as a neighbor than an antisocial personality.

like mental disorders should be applied to people who NEED the medication and who are a threat to society or themselves...isolating yourself away from the idiots of the world...nothing wrong with that. I think this is just some way to categorize people who don't mold in with society..There are people who don't like other people because of the way they were treated by other people...it's not something your brain can just turn on.

@imperiocorrupto Because everyone is an idiot, but you right? :/ Please, grow up and realize that the world isn't as black and white as your bitter little mind makes it out to be.

@imperiocorrupto And she isn't talking about people who were treated badly she is talking about a genetic mental condition. Actually take time to familiarize yourself with the subject matter next time.

i think this is bullshit. There's something wrong with people who don't like other people? No wonder, look at the world we live in!! Some people just havn't developed socially while growing up, maybe they were picked on by bullies...really now, I don't see anything wrong with this...Just because someone is not like everyone else in the world, and aren't a bunch of social whores partying at the bars every weekend, and prefer to sit at home and read a book...there's nothing wrong with that..

she's right - you have to give to people, before expecting them to give back. Otherwise the group will kick you out.

I don't consider myself 'restricted' with my emotions. I prefer to be alone, because I don't like most people. As for walking on the beach in the Moonlight, I enjoy it. How is it a disorder to not be needy? Why do you 'guilt' people into things?
If you continue to say we have a 'disorder' then it is no wonder why nobody comes in.

No matter what I read or how many films I see I still have trouble diagnosing myself..
Originally I diagnosed myself as paranoid schizophrenic when I looked up symptoms at the start of a psychotic breakdown I had about 2 years ago..
Yet my symptoms also are like other schizophrenic type's so I'm just not sure...
For the first time I wanted to know exactly what was going on with me but I guess in the end it doesn't matter what it's called
It's "life" I guess

I've been trying to diagnose myself after a psychotic breakdown also. You're right, it's just life and nobody falls under one specific category.

When did personality traits become personality ''disorders''? If the ''personality'' does not hurt oneself or others in an ''obvious'' way, what is the problem?There is some contempt in her '' analysis''.

Indeed, I too think she speaks so generally that it makes me barf my guts out. I feel myself like a schizoid and maybe I am, but don't see in it so much evidence of a disease. I reckon that being schizoid means realizing how shallow other people are, and you're just trying to live on your own, in peace with yourself while at the same time you don't hurt nor mistreat those who are around you. SCHIZOIDISM=DISAGREEMENT OR REPULSION OF ANY RULES OR REGULATIONS THIS SICK SOCIETY IMPOSES US.

As a diagnised severe schizoid she has hit a lot of how I am very very well. It is an illnes with a lot of different symptoms and for some all she has said may not fit well at all.

@JTurnx I agree, some of it is too broad, although she touched on a lot of key points.

My own personal experience of schizoid personality (my brother was diagnosed with it almost 10 years ago and I have a schizoid personality minus the disorder/diagnosis) leads me to believe this Doctor is not an authority on the topic, a lot of what she said does not apply to what I know from experience and is just plain wrong.
CrowThumb 1 year ago 16
But I do live in Britain so maybe there is a massive difference in how it is classified in the US. My brother was married for 4 years (post diagnosis), he likes sex a lot, he has friends and his withdrawal from social interactions is not based on preference - he has no choice because of his akward behaviour and he feels overwhelmed by others at times. Any disorder with schizoid, schizotypal, schizophrenic, schizophreniform etc in its name is so complex a video like this can only mislead people
CrowThumb 1 year ago
@CrowThumb A lot of what she says applies to me minus the job things, so maybe it affects people differently?
SpiderWhiteYT 1 year ago
@CrowThumb I hear what you're saying, but I think she is talking about the extreme schizoid personality type. In reality most people won't be so extreme and won't necessarily fulfil all the criteria to the maximum extent.
rooflee 1 year ago
@Crow Thumbs up I agree so you got a thumbs up from me. Without thinking my feeling is she describes the world she want it to be. So anybody who lost intrest in the world and simply is empty and does not care anymore is what? And people who the society is pushing out and have given up and also don't care anymore they are what?
Problem with psychology is it is not so scientfic. Disorder 1 shares 9 symtoms with disorder 2 which share 9 out of 10 symptoms with disorder 3 and so on. Just Relax.

she's an expert?
this seems more like an outsider's observation of a schizoid person.....asserted as a cold hard fact.
find things actually made/written by schizoid people, a lot of what she said is inaccurate.

So as I understand it, a "schizoid" person is content and are not an emotional wrecks, have no intense anger or self pitty. They have the mental capacity to dismantle and then reasemble high tech machinery. Do not rely on others for validation, can not be guilt tripped and do not feel ashamed of them self, enjoy intelectual introspection an don't impose them selves on others. So is there medication to become "schizoid" I want to be one.

What a bunch of psycho babble nonsense ! This is another creatively "recognized" *new* mental illness from a long line of very *needy* psychologists & psychologists, who are trying to "create awareness" for their new malady.
avideditor7 2 years ago
@avideditor7 well actually, Schizoid disorder has been studied over 100 years. I tend to share your opinion however that there are many "disorders" made up just so people can get rich treating them with drugs and other means.
shutemdwn 1 year ago
No offense to anyone, but do some of you really believe this disorder bullshit? I've been in mental hospital (called institutes now). I didn't find any person to be "mentally ill" so to speak in any case.
You just only need to know how to "handle" these "mentally ill" persons and everything is fine.
jaken17 2 years ago
In the case of Personality Disorders, it's not so much "disorder" as extremes of personality. The reason they are considered "disordered" is because of the disruption of life that can occur. A person with Narcissitic PD who cannot value teamwork, for example, or a person with Paranoid PD who can't stand to leave their house. When people cannot live their lives, there is a problem. As to how serious the issue is, well...that's where psychology and society begin to hedge.
