I'm a schizoid and I have someone who is trying very hard to get close to me. What makes it all the more terrifying is that he tries to hug me. One day he thought he would sneak a hug: he ended up getting karate chopped in the throat with a copy of Doctor Faustus.
I have many of the symptoms of schizoid personality disorder, but I can't relate to this one; "appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others".. I'm the opposite, I care too much about what others think about me.
Haha that's me! I'm sure I speak on the name of all other schizoids out there when I say this video is a little too deterministic. It pretty much depends on the mood and importance. Of course we're going to try being as much normal and outgoing as possible say in an important meeting or interview. And if the mood is right (pretty rare but it does occur on some distant basis) even be completely outgoing for the day or two.
This is really the complete opposite of self-pity, it's more like being so superior to the rest of the human race that there's a disconnect with normal people. You outwardly behave like what you perceive a normal person is like, and go through the appropriate motions, but on the inside it's a different ballgame and you can't wait to be alone again.
What happens when a Schizoid person like myself becomes an alcoholic and who I wish to be and who I've become are in direct conflict with each other? Always fighting with the drunk and sober sides of myself, both horribly against each other, both wanting to return to that state of bliss in my mind that I reached when I was 12 or some shit.
@BallsInYourJawsBitch In general most schizoids including myself don't want to return to that state of mind. be it a false self or not it is me regardless and I have no gripes with who I am and the way I socialize, nor do I have a negative or positive relationship between my true and false self. I just don't like my inability to express and feel emotion properly and my distorted speech and thought blockage. I reject the blissful people more than anyone.
i mean its really not that bad.. lol im a schizoid female. like once every two weeks or so i have a weird urge to go out but other than that i enjoy my dark.. lonely room. i really do. people think im weird because i beg them to let me sit alone in lunch at school and shit.. idk. i just like it. i havent said a word to my mom in a week either and she lives with me hahah
Guys....i need help....what should i do if i am in love with a schizoid....is there any hope for a relationship? Or i will just end up frustrated... i am waiting answers... thanks!
@CheshireTiger2501 That depends on what you need from the relationship. If you come off as needy or dependent to the schizoid, especially for displays of affection, then they'll run away. Do they know how you feel about them? One good indicator of whether there's a possibility for a relationship is if they take the time to talk to you (and not simply to answer your questions) or initiate the conversation. This shows that they're putting forth effort that they otherwise wouldn't.
Well, I have that personality disorder and I cannot understand how he´s acting. I am able to create smalltalk and social relationships, even though I do not care for them and break up when they start to bore me. But at least for a little amount of time I can pretend being "normal".
This is me to a T. I happen to be a SPD female teenager as well as having an INTJ personality. As salamiswodsman said, alone but not lonely is the perfect description. I love being alone so much it's not even funny. I don't like crowds or small talk or really people in general (my mentality is that everyone is incompetent. It's just the way I am *shrug*) but I'll do my best to fit in around school and with my small group of friends (with limited success...). All in all, I'm comfortable with it.
@LeeRLang well after many failed attemps of socializing with others, could one decide not to talk to anyone at all ? and decide he / she does not need to talk to anyone.
Anybody find she is the odd one here? He is minding his own business in the middle of nowhere-she approaches him, starts asking him questions about what he is up to-when it is obvious what he is doing, puts her hands on him without saying anything beforehand & then makes some lame attempt to crack onto him-ballroom party? If it was 1930 maybe.
@sexymodels5 She's not "odd" in here... (whatever "odd" rely means).... I can clearly see her motivation: she likes him, but he's avoiding her and is even more mysterious, which makes her even more interested (females you know) and she pursues him even more.
.
I was a little like him in my school days... My class girls used to like me for my mysteriousness (more like weirdness), and confidence (more like arrogant insecurity)...
.
I also had a roommate like this guy... but he could just been shy
I can only dream of how many other people that the system just says have ADHD/DAMP to make some more money and fuck up some more people, making them dumb, fucking up their growth, calcify your blood veins in the brain, making you addicted and all that, disgusting society!
god its comical to me people watching this video and thinking they're schizoids by the symptoms this guy displays. DONT TRY AND BE A SCHIZOID PEOPLE, YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT ONE IS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
@triviumfr3ak who r u calling a kid??? I took a personality test and it said i was 73% schizoid soo stop assuming shit u don't kno. I was jus happy sum people don't like people lik me. Your a frickin idiot, Im not trying to be a damn schizoid. Truth of the matter is I don't give a fuck.. Im just living life. Are u even a doctor to be giving out disnosis' and telling people what they are and aren't??? STFU and mind ur own
@ImJustCommenting dude even the guy in this video has an inner world. look at him. hes drawing, doing his own thing. schizoids just want to do what they want, when they want, without distractions and meaningless crap. this girl is a distraction. if you dont like fantasy and such you arent one. not having emotions can be multiple disorders, but schizoids are a breed of their own my friend.diagnosing it says that if the person lets you into their world immediately they're avoidant.
@triviumfr3ak ok, whatever... i do have an inner world. I talk to people but Im selective with who I want to share my info with. I hate people who talk about retarded things like pop culture. I don't think Im avoidant because if I want to talk to someone, why not jus talk to him/her??to avoid beating around the bush. i write to you, even though ur annoying for example. Im quiet and reserved. Usually in public I tend to reserve myself or isolate myself. I don't think Im shy but I isolate myself.
@triviumfr3ak I don't like seeing herds of monkey people. I do have my wild moments but they are like 15% of the time. I do talk to others and Im selective about it but I don't care if i ever or never see them again, only my family and close friends (which is rare). If someone praises me or critizes me I don't effin care, how i am is for me not anyone else. I do prefer solidarity activites. I don't care if I have friends. Sooo Idk. What's my dignosis, doctor triviumfr3ak???
@ImJustCommenting do you have an inner world? because the thing about schizoids is they sacrificed social life and emotions to have a completely different inner world of fantasy and amazing things, where they DO experience emotions. to them, the life we live in is a dream and their fantasy world is the real world. just not caring about anything and thinking people are dumb is not really schizoid, that could be a number of things.
@ImJustCommenting "Emotional coldness, detachment or reduced affection.
Limited capacity to EXPRESS either positive or negative emotions towards others. Consistent preference for solitary activities. Very few, if any, close friends or relationships, and a lack of desire for such Indifference to either praise or criticism.
Taking pleasure in few, if any, activities.
Indifference to social norms and conventions.
Preoccupation with fantasy and introspection." taken right from the DSM IV
@ImJustCommenting none of you even know what a schizoid is. By the very meaning of the term the schizoid is described as cut off from the world of outer reality in an emotional sense. All this libidinal desire and striving is directed inward toward internal objects and he lives an intense inner life often revealed in an astonishing wealth and richness of fantasy and imaginative life whenever that becomes accessible to observation. though mostly his varied fantasy life is carried on in secret"
@ImJustCommenting you can't make yourself a schizoid no matter how hard you try. Like I said before, basically its a right brained person turned completely inward.
@triviumfr3ak like I said previously, Im not trying to be one. I don't effin care.. ok. I took a test, and it said I was 73% schizoid don't get mad at me but get mad at the test. I went online and tried to look at some videos. And here it is youtube and the comments back and forth. Gosh -_______-
@ImJustCommenting the post starting with "none of you even know what a schizoid is" is taken right from the DSM IV, i just forgot to add the first set of quotes.
I find it funny reading the troll comments cause there pretty much useless. As people with schizoid have a hard time conveying emotion and hardly ever get angry. Basically rendering your hurtful words useless XD because it doesn't really matter what you say we actually don't care
This is me totally and completely. I am serious, I do believe I am a schizoid. I love being alone, all the time and my parents think something is wrong with me like I'm depressed or something but I'm not, I'm completely happy just being left alone and by my freaking self. People just get so...TEDIOUS to deal with and I just don't like talking to people who don't have anything interesting or knowledgeable to say. I'm apathetic and don't particularly care for anyone else's feelings other than mine
@mrblonde108 It's not only blatant ignorance that shows youtube you didnt graduate collage,it's your horrid grammar . Go back to your Trucks tornado bait.
the field is sooo beautiful and the music x) the guy is very attractive to me. He's an artist too a plus. I don't know if Im schizoid, I act like this guy when i don't like someone otherwise i would of went to the party. How is this even a personality disorder?? because someone wants to be alone??? its a preference.. thats why sometimes society sucks
Well according to the internet. I fit the Schizoid label pretty good. I have been diagnosed with asperger. But some things just dont fit. The concrete thinking for example. I have no problem with abstract concepts. And its not that I dont recognize feelings in others. I just feel like they are intrusive.
@PennyDreadful1 you're probably asperger, but asperger is an advantage. you're just so much smarter than everyone else they look at you as wierd lol. they call it defective brain wiring, like too much wiring, but really its just you have a far superior brain than "normal people"
@triviumfr3ak Late reply. Well apart from what I have already written. Im not that good at focusing on anything and I take pills for it. Maybe I have ADD too.
@PennyDreadful1 nah asperger is like vamped adhd. thats really all it is, whether or not people decide to call it something completely different lol. people are too obsessed with making new names for anything they discover. adhd people cant fit in with people that arent adhd, they find people that arent adhd wierd. im sure the same thing with asperger is true, but the population of asperger people is much lower than adhd so it seems like you dont fit in with anyone.
@PennyDreadful1 you shouldnt take pills for it because honestly, who cares if you're wierd. to be misunderstood is great, Galileo was misunderstood as was Newton, Jesus, Ghandi, Copernicus, and Socrates. focusing ive found is too laborsome. i usually unfocus, and let my mind do the work for me. im also 100% ambidexterous, i draw with my left hand and write letters with my right. i just think its so funny that they call it "too much wiring". i mean, too much wiring=far surperior wiring tbh.
@triviumfr3ak I take pills to concentrate. It makes me work better. Concerta. And I dont have any skills. My coordination sucks. I mostly listen to music. I dont have the will to do anything else. I feel kind of dead at times, empty and at other times full of fantasies about being a great artist or director. Also my dad doesnt have asperger but he is reclusive,lazy and gentle and rarely shows any emotion.
@PennyDreadful1 yeah its probably the meds. i was on adhd meds for a year in 10th grade and i thought i was schizoid then, because i felt exactly the same way you're describing man. i had fantasy and all this other stuff, but my life was empty. ive gotten off of them for a few years and I am a completely different person. people shouldn't try and change the person you truly are. you should pick up an instrument, because its extremely good for your brain and will harmonize your thinking somewhat.
I was filled up with Ritalin some years and they just kept upping the doses (they thought i had ADHD or ADD, DAMP). When we found out that just made me even more aggressive, we stopped, by the years i have learned to live with it, and accept, and only some days ago my mom came to me with the idea that i maybe was schizoid, and after lookin it up on wiki, i was sure thats what it is.
Anyways, instruments, art etc. have allways helped me getting headrest
@PennyDreadful1 i dont know why they say concrete thinking is with asperger, because what asperger excells in is abstract concepts. i think i have a degree of it, because i am so much different than anyone else i've ever met and i feel like im too smart for my own good. im just so smart that i dont do busywork because its pointless and people never get anything that im trying to get across because their brains just cant handle it.
@PennyDreadful1 people are like monkeys to me, but im def not schizoid because really what i communicate mainly through is emotions, and i feel like anyone who looks at me knows exactly what im thinking due to my facial expression.
@PennyDreadful1 dont try and be like "normal people" because normal people are actually just stupid people that are completely misguided from what they could be and controlled by their country to contribute to the global economy to live meaningless lives and have dead-end jobs with no rewards except a paycheck to fill the pit in their soul that formed somewhere around age 13 because of societal corruption. normal is an insult to me lol.
very well done with the music my friend. ive made a song i named schizoid as well, made it when i was depressed. it's nothing like your composition, mine is more of a 'song'.
It's not too bad. Alone 24/7, disconnected from the world and distant (emotionally and physically) to family, engrossed in own thoughts. Alone but not lonely. We temporarily find a way to fit in during annoying social obligations, but we can't wait to get back to our caves. It would be nice to have a female, I guess, but they probably can't handle the emotional neglect, so I won't subject them to mine. Again, not too bad.
It's like looking at myself in a mirror. Don't buy into all these people complaining about having the disorder, they seem to have AvPD, which is a disorder in it's own right, but it causes more pain to those who have it. I have Schizoid and it's not that bad, I just don't need people to constantly talk to and be around me like other people seem to desire. The bad part is that I tend to hurt other people through my actions. You have to have a degree of empathy to avoid this.
Whoa this is what my life is .. Didn't think others out there had similar experiences .. I have no friends ... Never had a gf .. Don't get along with anyone ... Going to work is painful .. Not the actual work but the interactions with colleagues and customers .. Ppl don't know about Spd .. They judge me I guess ..... I have no one.
Im wit u bro.. Ive been a loner too. Ive tried social interaction but idk i always have to try too hard like call or contact 24/7, i hate having a facebook, I hate having to constantly talk garbage, I hate it. Its like people are monkeys. Im always asked like why am i quiet and all but when I come home, its awsome, total alone time. Never had boyfriend :( either and i think no one will understand me cus im too "distant". Im 18
SPD is a curse! Anyone who says otherwise isn't being honest with themselves! I'm constantly alone and completely annoyed by everybody, whether it be an attractive girl or by my own family! It sucks! And don't buy into the notion that Schizoids don't feel any emotion, if they didn't how could they be content with themselves... and why would they even bother to find others like them on the internet! So much denial! I'm sick of it! It is a disorder!
@KirbyPwnz13 Same here ... :( I cut all social interactions (even with family) and read books or do some other damn interesting stuff, but, after some time, I feel like 'wtf... where are they ?' x(
@KirbyPwnz13 The only reason that I suffer from schizoid personality is because society is ignorant of and intolerant of the condition. The fact that it's a medical label and 'disorder' means that I'm automatically a weirdo. I wish they could know what I am so that they could be more accommodating, and I SO want to be honest with people. It's lonely, but I don't think it's an illness. But I will say that loads of us deny the feelings we have. What's the point of hiding them on the internet?
@KirbyPwnz13 Do you find it difficult to even interact on chat rooms though? I often join chat sites but find I'm not even able to chat even from behind a computer screen. Like this I'm okay, or messages not in chat rooms where you have to interact with live people or not on messenger either.
@nealthedude It depends, if there's only one other person I'm chatting with its becomes difficult. But if there's multiple people in the chat, then I'll just tag along with the ideas they bring up. I'm sorry that happens to you, that must suck.
Well, I am a borderliner, suppressing his emotional impulses which leads to schizoid symptoms. I am able to compensate my social deficits by using phrases learned by observing, nonetheless it is hard.
I put my emotion in music. Why waste it on people when most can't be trusted. I would rather keep myself to myself and it's not harming anybody. Other people do the harm when they won't leave you alone. Why should we all have to conform to what society thinks is the morm anyway.
@Sonja9194 als schizoider mag ich es nicht wenn sich jemand in meine angelegenheiten einmischt, vor allem mit dem versuch irgendwelchen smalltalk anzufangen. würde ich in dieser situation sein, würde ich einfach nichts sagen und mich weiter auf mein bild konzentieren in der hoffnung daß sie weg geht. und innerlich mir haufenweise schweinereien mit ihr vorstellen :) wenn du jemanden schizoides kennenlernen willst, schreib mir einfach. du scheinst da ja keine ahnung zu haben.
If he does not have schizoid personality disorder, who should then have one? Clearly the woman is nice why not? Has nothing to do with the man's behavior!
it's funny watching this as a schizoid, you can see tat what he's saying to her is about 1% of the actual conversation. I always talk like this then realize later that the person probably thought I was being rude, when really I just thought what I was trying to say was implied.
I don't buy these 'become schizoid' comments. If you choose to be a loner because people are stupid, or because some girl broke your heart, you are not schizoid (more likely antisocial or avoidant, respectively). Schizoid behavior, in my experience, is from birth.
Even though I prefer to be alone, I do kind of wish a girl would approach me like that but they never do. Of course this is just an act so it could never happen in reality. The truth is that neurotypicals have no compassion and only care about themselves.
@birdsandbugs1 dude you know the expression "girls want what they can't have". The fact we have a personality trait that makes us lack dependance on people, makes it possible to be the guy who plays the role "hard to get"
I used to be really needy of women back in the day. I have since become a schizoid, and even though i am engaged to be married, in my college courses girls are always trying to get my attention because i talk but show no interest in them and i have none. THink about it..
@Gtrplyr1 Interesting, yet I am now 31 and have had no attention from women. It seems they see me as a loner and want nothing to do with me. I am now so scarred that I don't think I can handle a relationship anyway. By the way, I don't understand how you could be engaged if you are schizoid. For me I think it would have to be an arranged marriage or mail-order because I just can't approach girls on my own.
@birdsandbugs1 my fiance isn't a "people" person either. I feel for you man. If I were you i would try looking for someone with similar personality traits.. You would be surprised to know a lot of women are shy, or have this type of personality as well.. Google schizoid and look for forums. I am sure there is a girl who would get to know you...
Join a gym, get in shape if you aren't already, it will help your confidence. Focus on bettering yourself and women will want you whether bubbly or not.
@kevinstanislawski I am annoyed at the whole thing. Especially that biatch walking there when I am fucking busy doing a nice painting and enjoying the landscape
this is me.. i think i've finally understood why I act the way I do. I like to be alone, I enjoy the silence and the distance. Besides I can never go back to the old me where I used to be friends with everyone. Schizoid has allowed me to build my own computer.. Learn about a variety of other things as well.. My ex girlfriend never really understood me, and when she left me it hurt, but I am starting to enjoy being alone now. I wish I didn't live my life like this, but, its my choice
For so many years I wondered what was wrong with, why was I different. Now theirs a name to the monster. At least now I can understand my own situation a little better.
@andrewwalker296 Me too. All my life I have been this way and it caused some problems at school and work because I just wanted to be left alone and always hated having to be with other people. I was diagnosed with SPD and now understandmore about why I am this way. I don't see it as a problem because it isn't doing any harm to others. I do react like the guy in the film when people bother me because I'm content being alone.
I see nothing wrong with this, it was quite normal from my perspective! He wants to be left alone, what's wrong with that? Not everybody wants to be surrounded by leeching "friends" all the time.
@kryckeestrooff , it is only a problem when the individual consistently avoids social interactions. Alone time is great, I agree, but if the individual begins to have difficulty at work or school because of they do not want to be around peers, it may lead to jobless or poor grades if they don't participate in group projects. Also, those with schizoid usually have no interest in any sexual interactions. This is a problem because if everyone had no sexual interest, our species would die out.
OK! I think I figured it out!! If you aren't busy pursuing artificial relationships and material goods then there MUST be something the fuck wrong with you!!
I mean, seriously... Who the fuck is happy with what they have and what they are currently doing? Only weirdos say I!! You don't like people putting their filthy mitts all over you? That means you are fucked up.
I love how consumer society has labeled this a "disorder".
getting done with school. im not interested in being the best, or excel or being good or being bad. or being the rich or famous or the most powerful or prettiest or happiest or all those 'goals' that people seem to be so busy 'chasing' after it. who effin cares. at least not me.
i do talk to my classmates and stuffs but if i can choose, id rather be by myself. being away from everything. not finishing school and just live somewhere in the green fields. i dont mind if i dont get much pay. just a decent pay that i can use each day for a decent meal seem pretty enough. and just as long as i get to be by myself. probably the only reason im in school is because its jus how it goes down here and -parents. but truthfully, im not interested in
schizoid is very interesting. kinda confusing to me. idk if im schizoid. cuz i dont really understand it... but i've always felt this feeling ever since I was young except i try to avoid it. but as i grew up... during mayb around 14 years old onwards, i somehow just accept this feeling. this feeling of enjoyment of not being around anyone. i always thought that was weird of me. i dont feel the need to have someone or anyone. right now, im in school doing a diploma.
I'm Schizoid, this video has it right. Most people will watch this and completely misunderstand this actor, but any Schizoid will understand immediately. Well done. He's not shy, doesn't dislike the girl, and *enjoys* being alone. I noticed that he found it funny that she would ask if he was going to the party, that brought back so many memories, as well as sitting alone and drawing.
@RedBloodReign I know this response is two months old, but I feel really compelled to respond to it anyway.
So I just recently discovered this "disorder" and have been reading bits about it. I'm almost certain now that I am a Schizoid. Which would explain a shit load of things regarding how people react to me.
@BrotherOfMetal2 I hear ya, I think the way I am hurts my family more than anything. I've heard "I don't feel like he's part of the family" more than I'd like to remember. People tend to see you as aloof, amirite?
As a T-Shirt once said, "If life hands you lemons, hey free lemons!"
I don't really see SP as some sort of curse though, if people don't understand me that's not my problem.
We're as rare as Schizophrenics without the crazy. ;)
LOL @ me for responding a week later and being drunk at the same time.
Aloof? You mean alone? Yeah, plenty of that shit LOL.
I don't know what's going on, but there's something huge that this links too. I mean, something HUGE that has to do with the truth, what ever that fuck that may be.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She was fat that's why he ignored her, I only respond to sexy people what does that make me? I have close relationships with lots of friends but if someone is ugly, fat or stupid, fuck you go be gross on someone else's time.
In case you didn't know about it, look up for PYROLURIA. You may disagree with this diagnosis, but at least you know it exists, and then choose what to do.. knowledge is power ;) It's not off topic, since many of the behaviours typical of a schizoid are actually also some of the symptoms of pyroluria. I'm not spamming, it's serious guys ;)
@sillypuppy2 i think many traits of all said disorders have overlapping characteristics. As for what he is thinking....it would be roughly the same as you or anyone. The schizoid inner life is that of a neuro-typical there is no psychosis nor neurosis necessarily. Think yourself as your "ego". in SPD the ego is split so the inner-self is quite normal, but the outer-self doesn't resonate or match with the inner emotions being felt. It's a "split" ego and there is a spectrum of the degree of split
@y00n1x you say "the outer self doesn't resonate or match with the inner emotion". What does that actually means. Resonate means what exactly and how does it affect the person's behaviour?
@weenyone By this I mean what one FEELS, THINKS and BEHAVES match up. ex: you feel Anger, u think "i want to kill this guy" and behave by getting in a fight. A schizoid might feel anxiety or fear, but think "I don't need to take this crap" and then behave by not talking and detaching. It's not that the schizoid wishes to be ingenuine it is just that he feels like he does not know who he is and how to co-ordinate the emotions (feelings) with his thoughts (cognitions) and the behaviors.
@sillypuppy2 if you need help understanding schizoids feel free to write me, i think i an explain it for you as I believe I have this and I've read every book on it...I'm also reading current psych journals on this and working on my masters in psych in this.
This isn't really a disorder. Schizoid individuals are overall content with their lives. however being content is a statistical outlier, therefore i can see why it is labeled a disorder.
Let me guess, Dr Rhoda Hahn with her stereotypical view on schizoids? This video is actually accurate. First off, you make it sound like the guy in the video had chosen to meet that girl there in the field when in fact she just stumbled accross him by mistake. And how is that even a romantical situation? I don't get it. Also, far from all schizoids got technical interests. You should read Dr. Millon's "Personality Disorders in Modern Life" because he knows what he is talking about at least.
Im most likely schizoid and I've tried antidepressants (like that Remeron - aka Mirtazapine) and they have no effect on me whatsoever (tried both SSRIs and MAOIs) - so its exactly what the books and doctors say about this PD.
And I like the beach, it's windy and smells nice. I don't enjoy taking things apart and putting them together again. That doesn't sound interesting at all... I don't think you quite understand this disorder....
I'm a schizoid and I have someone who is trying very hard to get close to me. What makes it all the more terrifying is that he tries to hug me. One day he thought he would sneak a hug: he ended up getting karate chopped in the throat with a copy of Doctor Faustus.

why is schizoid a personality "disorder". Its not a disorder, more of a personality type.

I have many of the symptoms of schizoid personality disorder, but I can't relate to this one; "appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others".. I'm the opposite, I care too much about what others think about me.
Metsada007 1 month ago
Haha that's me! I'm sure I speak on the name of all other schizoids out there when I say this video is a little too deterministic. It pretty much depends on the mood and importance. Of course we're going to try being as much normal and outgoing as possible say in an important meeting or interview. And if the mood is right (pretty rare but it does occur on some distant basis) even be completely outgoing for the day or two.
AlexNOSAM 1 month ago
This is really the complete opposite of self-pity, it's more like being so superior to the rest of the human race that there's a disconnect with normal people. You outwardly behave like what you perceive a normal person is like, and go through the appropriate motions, but on the inside it's a different ballgame and you can't wait to be alone again.

What happens when a Schizoid person like myself becomes an alcoholic and who I wish to be and who I've become are in direct conflict with each other? Always fighting with the drunk and sober sides of myself, both horribly against each other, both wanting to return to that state of bliss in my mind that I reached when I was 12 or some shit.
BallsInYourJawsBitch 2 months ago
@BallsInYourJawsBitch In general most schizoids including myself don't want to return to that state of mind. be it a false self or not it is me regardless and I have no gripes with who I am and the way I socialize, nor do I have a negative or positive relationship between my true and false self. I just don't like my inability to express and feel emotion properly and my distorted speech and thought blockage. I reject the blissful people more than anyone.

CheshireTiger2501 3 months ago
@CheshireTiger2501 That depends on what you need from the relationship. If you come off as needy or dependent to the schizoid, especially for displays of affection, then they'll run away. Do they know how you feel about them? One good indicator of whether there's a possibility for a relationship is if they take the time to talk to you (and not simply to answer your questions) or initiate the conversation. This shows that they're putting forth effort that they otherwise wouldn't.

Well, I have that personality disorder and I cannot understand how he´s acting. I am able to create smalltalk and social relationships, even though I do not care for them and break up when they start to bore me. But at least for a little amount of time I can pretend being "normal".

This is me to a T. I happen to be a SPD female teenager as well as having an INTJ personality. As salamiswodsman said, alone but not lonely is the perfect description. I love being alone so much it's not even funny. I don't like crowds or small talk or really people in general (my mentality is that everyone is incompetent. It's just the way I am *shrug*) but I'll do my best to fit in around school and with my small group of friends (with limited success...). All in all, I'm comfortable with it.

@sexymodels5 She's not "odd" in here... (whatever "odd" rely means).... I can clearly see her motivation: she likes him, but he's avoiding her and is even more mysterious, which makes her even more interested (females you know) and she pursues him even more.

I was a little like him in my school days... My class girls used to like me for my mysteriousness (more like weirdness), and confidence (more like arrogant insecurity)...

I also had a roommate like this guy... but he could just been shy

@ImJustCommenting do you have an inner world? because the thing about schizoids is they sacrificed social life and emotions to have a completely different inner world of fantasy and amazing things, where they DO experience emotions. to them, the life we live in is a dream and their fantasy world is the real world. just not caring about anything and thinking people are dumb is not really schizoid, that could be a number of things.

@ImJustCommenting none of you even know what a schizoid is. By the very meaning of the term the schizoid is described as cut off from the world of outer reality in an emotional sense. All this libidinal desire and striving is directed inward toward internal objects and he lives an intense inner life often revealed in an astonishing wealth and richness of fantasy and imaginative life whenever that becomes accessible to observation. though mostly his varied fantasy life is carried on in secret"

@PennyDreadful1 you shouldnt take pills for it because honestly, who cares if you're wierd. to be misunderstood is great, Galileo was misunderstood as was Newton, Jesus, Ghandi, Copernicus, and Socrates. focusing ive found is too laborsome. i usually unfocus, and let my mind do the work for me. im also 100% ambidexterous, i draw with my left hand and write letters with my right. i just think its so funny that they call it "too much wiring". i mean, too much wiring=far surperior wiring tbh.

@PennyDreadful1 yeah its probably the meds. i was on adhd meds for a year in 10th grade and i thought i was schizoid then, because i felt exactly the same way you're describing man. i had fantasy and all this other stuff, but my life was empty. ive gotten off of them for a few years and I am a completely different person. people shouldn't try and change the person you truly are. you should pick up an instrument, because its extremely good for your brain and will harmonize your thinking somewhat.

It's not too bad. Alone 24/7, disconnected from the world and distant (emotionally and physically) to family, engrossed in own thoughts. Alone but not lonely. We temporarily find a way to fit in during annoying social obligations, but we can't wait to get back to our caves. It would be nice to have a female, I guess, but they probably can't handle the emotional neglect, so I won't subject them to mine. Again, not too bad.

@KirbyPwnz13 The only reason that I suffer from schizoid personality is because society is ignorant of and intolerant of the condition.

I wish they could know what I am so that they could be more accommodating, and I SO want to be honest with people. It's lonely, but I don't think it's an illness. But I will say that loads of us deny the feelings we have. What's the point of hiding them on the internet?

@Gtrplyr1 Interesting, yet I am now 31 and have had no attention from women. It seems they see me as a loner and want nothing to do with me. I am now so scarred that I don't think I can handle a relationship anyway. By the way, I don't understand how you could be engaged if you are schizoid. For me I think it would have to be an arranged marriage or mail-order because I just can't approach girls on my own.

@kryckeestrooff , it is only a problem when the individual consistently avoids social interactions. Alone time is great, I agree, but if the individual begins to have difficulty at work or school because of they do not want to be around peers, it may lead to jobless or poor grades if they don't participate in group projects. Also, those with schizoid usually have no interest in any sexual interactions. This is a problem because if everyone had no sexual interest, our species would die out.

schizoid is very interesting. kinda confusing to me. idk if im schizoid. cuz i dont really understand it... but i've always felt this feeling ever since I was young except i try to avoid it. but as i grew up... during mayb around 14 years old onwards, i somehow just accept this feeling. this feeling of enjoyment of not being around anyone. i always thought that was weird of me. i dont feel the need to have someone or anyone. right now, im in school doing a diploma.

I'm Schizoid, this video has it right. Most people will watch this and completely misunderstand this actor, but any Schizoid will understand immediately. Well done. He's not shy, doesn't dislike the girl, and *enjoys* being alone. I noticed that he found it funny that she would ask if he was going to the party, that brought back so many memories, as well as sitting alone and drawing.

@RedBloodReign I know this response is two months old, but I feel really compelled to respond to it anyway.
So I just recently discovered this "disorder" and have been reading bits about it. I'm almost certain now that I am a Schizoid. Which would explain a shit load of things regarding how people react to me.
Life's a bitch, ain't it? (sometimes)

@BrotherOfMetal2 I hear ya, I think the way I am hurts my family more than anything. I've heard "I don't feel like he's part of the family" more than I'd like to remember. People tend to see you as aloof, amirite?
As a T-Shirt once said, "If life hands you lemons, hey free lemons!"
I don't really see SP as some sort of curse though, if people don't understand me that's not my problem.
We're as rare as Schizophrenics without the crazy. ;)

LOL @ me for responding a week later and being drunk at the same time.
Aloof? You mean alone? Yeah, plenty of that shit LOL.
I don't know what's going on, but there's something huge that this links too. I mean, something HUGE that has to do with the truth, what ever that fuck that may be.
I might actually just be crazy, LOLOL

She was fat that's why he ignored her, I only respond to sexy people what does that make me? I have close relationships with lots of friends but if someone is ugly, fat or stupid, fuck you go be gross on someone else's time.

In case you didn't know about it, look up for PYROLURIA. You may disagree with this diagnosis, but at least you know it exists, and then choose what to do.. knowledge is power ;) It's not off topic, since many of the behaviours typical of a schizoid are actually also some of the symptoms of pyroluria. I'm not spamming, it's serious guys ;)

Why isn't there any insight into what he's thinking? What makes his behavior different from the avoidant and the narcissist?
sillypuppy2 1 year ago
@sillypuppy2 i think many traits of all said disorders have overlapping characteristics. As for what he is thinking....it would be roughly the same as you or anyone. The schizoid inner life is that of a neuro-typical there is no psychosis nor neurosis necessarily. Think yourself as your "ego". in SPD the ego is split so the inner-self is quite normal, but the outer-self doesn't resonate or match with the inner emotions being felt. It's a "split" ego and there is a spectrum of the degree of split

@y00n1x you say "the outer self doesn't resonate or match with the inner emotion". What does that actually means. Resonate means what exactly and how does it affect the person's behaviour?
weenyone 1 year ago
@weenyone By this I mean what one FEELS, THINKS and BEHAVES match up. ex: you feel Anger, u think "i want to kill this guy" and behave by getting in a fight. A schizoid might feel anxiety or fear, but think "I don't need to take this crap" and then behave by not talking and detaching. It's not that the schizoid wishes to be ingenuine it is just that he feels like he does not know who he is and how to co-ordinate the emotions (feelings) with his thoughts (cognitions) and the behaviors.
y00n1x 1 year ago
@y00n1x I can relate to that. Detached from one's emotions like you are watching yourself feeling but not acting on those feelings

I've read some of the comments and apparently Dr Rhoda Hahn doesn't give a very good interpretation of what schizoid is.

I understand the part about how the people who want to go to all the parties are idiots but I'm not sure if I understand schizoids.
sillypuppy2 1 year ago
@sillypuppy2 if you need help understanding schizoids feel free to write me, i think i an explain it for you as I believe I have this and I've read every book on it...I'm also reading current psych journals on this and working on my masters in psych in this.

Vincent van Gogh was certainly not schizoid, he probably had bipolar disorder with psychotic features, which is in no way related to SPD.

This isn't really a disorder. Schizoid individuals are overall content with their lives. however being content is a statistical outlier, therefore i can see why it is labeled a disorder.
shk9664 2 years ago 31
@shk9664 Yep. I am very happy with my life and even happier to be a schizoid. I do not depend on anyone else to be happy and this is a blessing.
luiza2166 1 year ago
Let me guess, Dr Rhoda Hahn with her stereotypical view on schizoids? This video is actually accurate. First off, you make it sound like the guy in the video had chosen to meet that girl there in the field when in fact she just stumbled accross him by mistake. And how is that even a romantical situation? I don't get it. Also, far from all schizoids got technical interests. You should read Dr. Millon's "Personality Disorders in Modern Life" because he knows what he is talking about at least.

Im most likely schizoid and I've tried antidepressants (like that Remeron - aka Mirtazapine) and they have no effect on me whatsoever (tried both SSRIs and MAOIs) - so its exactly what the books and doctors say about this PD.

Man, there are lots of people who prefer to be alone, and only a tiny part of ´em could be rated as schizoid.
