produces a balanced lifestyle right?

Only if schizotypals and schizophrenics (male) are perfect for sociopaths (female)

Negatory. I have SPD, ex GF had BPD. We struggled to give eachother up, but we never really got along for obvious reasons.

Not op. Right, I think they struggle a lot bc obvious incompatibilities but at same time, SPD (typically men) admire the bpd woman's ability to appear social and extroverted and apparently so "alive" & the bpd admires the spd's apparent ability to control themselves & apparent stability.

Of course the bpd isn't really extroverted in the sense the spd things and the spd isn't really in control of themselves, if they were then they'd have more motivation & have less apathy (which is prolly what gives the look of stability)

You just awakened me to the fact that this describes my current relationship to a T.

No. I'm a BPD female who dated an SPD male. His low emotional reactivity initially was calming and centering when I was losing my shit, but eventually I couldn't take how little attention he paid me.

Bad match. BPD females usually are attracted to narcs or sociopaths, actually.

SPD, as in sensory processing disorder? Sounds a lot like a manic pixie dream girl + autist situation.

The problem with sociopaths is that they'll often pump and dump you. They can be a great match if you monitor their actions like a hawk though.

schizoid personality disorder original

BPD would get bored of SPD after a while.

But schizoid people don't really want relationships in the same way normal people do right? Seems like it would be difficult to get them to have sex or really act romantic at all.

The interest in personality disorders on /r9k/ recently is interesting, I remember when no one really talked about them the same way. BPD is the new autism lel, everyone says they want a girl with BPD.

Most people with SPD are torn between wanting to be needed and not wanting to need anyone themselves.

While BPD is often characterized by an extreme fear of abandonment and a strong need to attach to a person.

People with SPD tend to have autistic thought patterns and a very strong sense of self at the expense of being able to really understand other people. People with BPD have a very tenuous sense of self often patched up by dangerous living. People with SPD are incredibly passive, focusing more on fantasy than reality while people with BPD are extremely impulsive

We're all growing older in isolation which generally causes mental illnesses to run a bit wild. Most robots are some degree of mentally ill.

Men are about 3x as likely to have SPD, women are about 3x as likely to have BPD.

I often wonder if I have SPD. Don't want to self-diagnose but at first glance I hit a lot of the symptoms

You don't really develop a personality disorder later in life, as you get older. I think it's just all the talk of them, it started off less, and has grew. People find them interesting.

To be fair, SPD is the one major personality disorder that psychologists themselves aren't sure about. Basically the debate boils down to

-It's a personality type because we can't really establish co-morbidity with anything really negative. SPD is extremely rare in a clinical setting though so it may just be a self selecting sample issue (people with SPD don't typically give enough of a fuck to seek treatment). But from what clinical studies have been done, people with SPD aren't any more likely to be depressed, commit suicide, ect. Even delisted disorders like Homosexuality actually have more negative co-morbidity associations than SPD does.

-It's a disorder because it can negatively effect the lives of those who have it in that lack of desire for normal human interaction alienates them from a society that doesn't understand how they can not care about these very typically human drives.

There are serious arguments for delisting it but I'm pretty sure it will remain a fixture of psychology as it becomes better understood.

Eh, you don't gain anything new but things find a way to express themselves differently. It becomes more obvious as the kids grow up and their fates diverge more wildly. Weird, or disorder, is always a relative thing.
