Schizoid is just a meme disorder. A "true" 10/10 schizoid is nothing but a vegetable. Might as well have a lobotomy.

Psychiatry is a meme. Anyone can be schizoid. There's even a "secret schizoid" sub-type, like yourself, which pretty much proves that the diagnosis has lost its meaning.

I realized it not too long ago.

Good job, own home, enough money, /fit/, fun productive hobbies. No real friends tho.

What are the symptoms of being schizoid? Are you like that guy in that beautiful mind movie?

>>34566300

This is from the Mayo clinic:

>Prefer being alone and choose to do activities alone
>Don't want or enjoy close relationships
>Feel little if any desire for sexual relationships
>Feel like you can't experience pleasure
>Have difficulty expressing emotions and reacting appropriately to situations
>May seem humorless, indifferent or emotionally cold to others
>May appear to lack motivation and goals
>Don't react to praise or critical remarks from others

I can check off seven of those to some degree.

So you don't have imaginary friends and shit?

Dunno if schizoid but I can relate to most things you said. I'm also a solo traveler mostly, and I have a bunch of friends but I tend to not go out a lot because socializing with hardcore normies is kind of boring.

I can't devote myself to anything but at least I can do what it takes to sustain myself and my home and still have some money to travel once in a while.

Actual diagnosed schizoid here. Its absolutely a shit disorder.

Total anhedonia, never able to connect to someone, feels of total isolation, stunted emotional growth.

You shouldnt just look at the dsm symptoms of spd. If you really want to understand it you have to look into the psychodynamics of spd.

Is a good start

Interesting read, thanks anon.

I've suspected myself a schizoid for a while now and every time I read new information about it I am more confident about it. But I also suspect that I might unconsciously gravitate towards this "explanation" for my weirdness to be a real special snowflake. Which is ironically a very schizoid thing to do (as far as I've understood it).

I'll just continue to label myself as a weird loner who isn't at all upset about being one.
