hey r9k,
i recently got a job at a 5 star restaurant waiting tables (don't ask how, i don't know)
the job is good, i'd say 77% of my tables are extremely satisfied (big smiles, laughing, generous tips)
it make's me feel great, i am serving a purpose and enjoy my job. but when interacting with co workers, friends or establishing "real" relationships with people i have trouble.
why does building "real" relationships seem so unnatural in contrast?

You're probably a schizoid, anon.
It's no big deal, really.

80% people can interact on the go with new people
20% needs to take time. it's partial autism

You're not a sociopath, anon. Don't worry.
Possible schizord or Asperger/autism, but definitely not antisocial personality disorder.

The trick to being a social schizoid is to genuinely have a lot of common interest with whoever you're interacting with. Just going through the motions of your job makes that easymode, but if you want to go beyond that then just cultivate your interest in things worth talking about.
Becoming an anthropologist is one solution here.

just heard of this term, ty
is it possible to have NPD and SPD at the same time?

If you were a psychopath, you'd either avoid your coworkers entirely, or you'd embrace them. They'd also believe that you are a great person. It's not about whether the relationship is real, it's about how easy it is for them to like you and if you really care. There's definitely more than just this, but I'd say you aren't one. Listen to the other anons, because you might be a schizoid.

i don't think i am a psychopath, i also think that is a dated term.
i read up on schizoid, but that's not true, i have characteristics, but only about 5/10.
i am 98% sure i am a narcissist, but upon realizing this i have become incredibly self aware which has lead to severe depression. (i am not actually a living god but a severely disordered individual, you'd be depressed too if your whole outlook on life was a lie)
anyone have a way to go back to the clouds?
