Schizoids, report in

Are you schizoid or assburger, anon?
I assume you are one of those, or you wouldn't be here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder




most closely resemble schizoid, also you forgot the avoidants

schizoid here
it has its moments i guess

schizoid would probably not be very high in numbers due to the fact that this board is full of roneryf**s.

>social adaptation:
>vulnerable to esoteric movements owing to a strong need to belong
That explains the memes

what are you talking about? all schizoids are lonely

>social adaptation:

you say that like normal people don't have "in-jokes"

Never heard of schizoid, but just read the wiki, I think I'm pretty close


what are you talking about? all schizoids are lonely

They are alone but not lonely. They don't crave companionship unlike the pathetic abundant roneryf**s in this board.


you say that like normal people don't have "in-jokes"

I'm talking about the hive mentality

did you expect me to both care AND read all this, ni**er?


I'm talking about the hive mentality

>doesn't understand what a meme is

Why does schizoid sound like schizophrenic?
I know they are differen things, but the name indicates that they are close.
What does being solitary have to do with imagining some guys are chasing you?

im not a schizoid or avoidant
im just a sociopath
people who can't lie well are hilarious

So basically schizoids just don't care about social interaction?

All of you: please stop talking yourselves into believing you have a mental disorder in order to explain away your inadequacies.
Everyone has flaws in their personality. Everyone. Convincing yourself that your flaws are permanent, inherent, and "not your fault" is a surefire way to prevent you from improving them and growing as a person. Stop rationalizing your deficiencies away.

anonymous said I was schizophrenic when I told them that I was convinced my teachers were trying to make me kill myself
is that an option?

F**king schizoid and I love it! ^_^

I'm schizoid
feels _____ man

One one had I dislike being an internet self-diagnosis fa**ot.
But I must admit that I fit the the schizoid mold fairly well. A true schizoid probably exhibits those traits in a more exaggerated way that in someone like myself.
On one hand I can be rather "schizoidy", but not to the extent that I have issues with the negative things that apparently tend to come with it.
I guess what that boils down to is that I'm simply introverted, it would probably be uncalled for to pretend to be schizoidal, even if I can relate to it.

Diagnosed SPD years ago by a real psychiatrist here. Took medication by it was useless.
Then another one said I wasn't SPD. I have history of schizophrenia in the family.
I haven't seen a therapist in years, but basically I don't talk to anyone unless I really need to, but I would like to change it to be honest.
Every time I'm alone I wish I wasn't and everytime i'm in a social situation I just wanna go home and be alone again and enjoy the freedom of loneliness.

>neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
eh sort of
>almost always chooses solitary activities
Pretty much.
>has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
Bingo.
>takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
Nah man
>lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
I have friends I would consider "close", but they'll never be REALLY close to me. It's cool brah.
>appears indifferent to the praise or criticism of others
Nigga I just don't give a f**k,
>shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect
Oh yeah. That's me.

>Diagnosed SPD years ago by a real psychiatrist here.
That's about one step about being diagnosed with demonic possession by a "real" witch-doctor.
What the f**k is wrong with you people? Does convincing yourselves that you have a brain disease REALLY make you feel better about the fact that you have trouble socializing? It's nothing a fearful excuse. Stop trying to sabotage your lives.

This doesn't even seem like a bad thing. Being unattached and comfortable with it would be a pleasant way to go through life.

>shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect
thats probably most everyone on web

Quit being such a fa**ot. I have a lot of schizoidal tendencies and you know what? I'm not BAAAAAWWWWWINGG about it cause I'm socially awkward. I'm totally chill bro. I am what i am and that's all that i am.

I don't think that labeling yourself with a disorder is a way of running from responsibility for one's actions, it strikes me as more of a grabbing onto labels which make one feel unique and therefore special.
Maybe some of both.

Can an schizoid enjoy Elton John?

I guess i'm a schizoid, then. I'd be cool with social relationships though. I'm just too much of a coward to pursue them and I can function decent without them.

Why do I have to have a mental illness?
Can't I just be lonely?

word dude. I never understood how it is hard for people to lie. Its one of the easiest things to do, you just tell someone something thats not true...

Why do I have to have a mental illness?

Because people want a crutch when it comes to obstacles they face in life.
Protip: everyone sucks at something. But successful people actually put in time and effort to either 1) work through their faults, or 2) focus entirely on what they're good at. Life is only easy for people without any ambition.

A mental illness is defined as a mental crutch?
Okay, Anonymous, whatever you say....

Schizoid and a lil' assburgers mixed in.

Why does schizoid sound like schizophrenic?

What does being solitary have to do with imagining some guys are chasing you?

Schizoids retreat into themselves and create, to some extent, a fantasy world which they retire to in the absence of real-world interaction.
Schizophrenics take that further and actually go batsh*t.

>denial

Neither, I am just alone with my cat and my knowledge.

neither im quite fine to be honest

I'm just anxious and prefer to be by myself.

I was pleased to find out that I don't meet the criteria for mental illness : D

>Every time I'm alone I wish I wasn't and everytime i'm in a social situation I just wanna go home and be alone again and enjoy the freedom of loneliness.
What is this called?

>Every time I'm alone I wish I wasn't and everytime i'm in a social situation I just wanna go home and be alone again and enjoy the freedom of loneliness.

That is called being a loner.
Loner's by definition do not enjoy large groups of people or the constant company of others, yet they cannot stand being lonely. Think of them as cats.

there is a party in my dorm room, and im on web. do i win?

I actually sympathize with other people very well, it's just that it is extremely exhausting, so I prefer being alone.
I wouldn't call myself emotionally cold in any way I just find creating and maintaining relationships tiresome.

What if I /can/ stand being alone for long periods of time by smoking weed before I start feeling lonely?


what are you talking about? all schizoids are lonely

But not all lonely people are schizoids.

It is called anonymous

Story of my f**king life.
Suddenly I'm mister popular and everyone wants to talk to me and all I want is quiet. Then when I get home I'm lonely.
Sometimes I'm just flustered with myself for being so annoying.

>S. C. Ekleberry[38] suggests that marijuana may be the single most egosyntonic drug for individuals with SPD because it allows a detached state of fantasy and distance from others, provides a richer internal experience than these individuals can normally create, and reduces an internal sense of emptiness and failure to participate in life. Also, alcohol, readily available and safe to obtain, is another obvious drug of choice for these individuals. Some will use both marijuana and alcohol and see little point in giving up either. They are likely to use in isolation for the effect on internal processes.[38]

Huh. Well I guess I'm a schizoid. Not like it's gonna change anything though.

Dude with the big quote wasn't me but I would say the same thing.
You shouldn't need drugs to feel okay.

@OP, I fit most of those criteria but I'm not quite dumb enough to self-diagnose, nor do I plan to ever see a professional so we'll never know!

people don't normally drink and smoke weed alone? what the hell

You probably aren't schzoids. Most of you are probably just introverts that can relate to some of it's tendencies but not really enough to be a real schizoid.



Huh. Well I guess I'm a schizoid. Not like it's gonna change anything though.

Actually I can't really tell if I'm a full on schizoid just cuz I read some of the wikipedia page but it doesn't really bother me enough to go get help. I'm happy enough just feeling neutral all the time. Not lonely and not longing for solitude.

Exactly, but what's the fun of that?

I might be schizoid, but how is this a "disorder" people should be "treated" for? I'm the most useful person I know and I'm happy about who I am.

im normal
I hate meaningless relationships with people
I'd rather sit at home on a Friday, play some vidya, jam some tunes, and have a good sleep for work then go get drunk or some sh*t
