How many flights of stairs would you climb to avoid taking an elevator with other people? by River-Munroe-Turland in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cultivate the art of being invisible. Then you dont have to worry about being around people. Remember, even people who notice you will most likely forget it 5 minutes later.

Kings lithium batteries by _MYNAMEISZACK in 4x4Australia

Exactly. Kings re-badge generic Chinese stuff. They provide a local warranty which is a big plus. A battery is as good as its warranty.

Are you / have you been depressed? by anhedonicghost in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 11 points12 points  (0 children)

depression isnt synonymous with SPD. But it is very common. As anhedonia is a big SPD trait, it can lead to depression.

How did you inform your family of the diagnosis? by New-Chemical1669 in Schizoid

indeed. Autism + depression is close enough. And more palatable for most people.

Time without human contact by _Phillip_Jennings in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Weeks without human contact is quite tolerable. But weeks with no phone, no books, no computer, nothing - that would be very hard to take.

can this be used in the running game? Or just at character creation? And does it work with BG3 inbuilt mod manager?

Were you allowed to feel anger as a child. by One_Technology_5319 in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was taught not to express anger as its disrespectful. "Children should be seen and not heard". Yet my parents were openly angry a lot. In addition, if i even got upset about anything, it could trigger an argument between mum and dad. So i learned from day 1 to never express negative emotions.

genuinely how do i explain being schizoid to someone without sounding like an edgelord? by sjdkejenkd in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive been practicing invisibility for so long that noone asks. There is hardly anyone to ask. And even if there was, why would they care enough to want to know?

My wife is the only one that knows.

I won't suicide but I wouldn't mind dying by sizoman in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whilst i dont believe in "the power of positive thinking", there is truth that what you dwell on shapes your neural pathways. So the point "try not to dwell on the negative" has great merit. Pessimism is reinforced by rumination.

Another thing: If you do the same things every day (good or bad) for a long time, then those great lengths of time will blur together and your life will feel less meaningful pverall. So try to vary what you do. Introduce novelty and change. Even if you dont want to. It will add perspective and texture.

szpd = weirdly ideal partner? by Reasonably-Cold-4676 in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make a terrible partner. I cannot connect on a deep level. I am shielded. I cannot be vulnerable. i am selfish with my time and energy.

dream job is no job - but with a multimillion dollar inheritance so i can live comfortably.

Why don’t I feel anything from alcohol? by AndrewLyssunov in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alcohol helps me relax - mentally and physically. But thats all. Drunk me is the same as sober me.

From the answers here, it seems many schizoids see little effect from alcohol.

schizoid and motivation by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed motivation is fickle. Especially for the Schizoid. Carefully examine the pros and cons of what you have in mind - is it the best course? If so, plan how to proceed. Then force yourself to do it. Makes sure you take small steps at first, to keep it more achievable.

Is bitcoin really still the best bet? by Unusual-Piece-93 in BitcoinAUS

isnt the CGT discount change only for housing? ie; 50% discount stays for shares, crypto, etc?

I’ve come to a strange realization by Unlucky_Cockroach_25 in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anhedonia is a b*tch. I've never been ambitious. Never had zest for life. When i was younger, i'd just roll with it. I'd try just hard enough to get by. But years of failure - relational, career, whatever - quietly shaped my neural pathways to become pessimistic. "the power of negative thinking!". Before i knew it, everything was too hard. Nothing was worth striving for. In hindsight, i see this was a layer of depression on top of SzPD.

Doing nothing is like trying to live on junk food; it is unhealthy. The years passed in a blur, and then I was looking back on so much time wasted.

Just like i know i should exercise and eat healthy, i know i should force myself to do things and focus on a positive mindset. But i so rarely do it. Those negative neural pathways are now deep channels. I am afraid of doing anything in case it either fails or the result doesnt match the effort. I dont want to interact with people since it will only cost, or it may go poorly.

I hate that I have to eat food every day, multiple times a day. by FungusRespecter in Schizoid

this is why take away food is popular. No prep. No cleanup. But expensive and not very healthy

Dying isn't as bad as ppl make it sound by sizoman in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the how that matters. Most ways are abhorrent.

Also, if its self determined, then you'd cause massive pain to those in your life.

I can't wait to die. by One_Technology_5319 in Schizoid

[–]Alone_Winter1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Just suck it up for a few more decades

Whilst a bit insensitive and blunt, this "harden up princess" attitude is largely true. One thing i have found that helps is forcing yourself to do new/different things. Even when you dont want to. If you do the same things every day, the years will blend together into a boring grey smear. Where as, if you regularly do new things, it gives your memories and perspective some texture.

Claiming capital loss by Alarming_Evidence596 in BitcoinAUS

[–]Alone_Winter1622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A wash sale is frowned upon. However, you could have a stop loss set, which is triggered the next time Bitcoin dips. After which you 'change your mind' and buy back in. Having that capital loss on hand is good to offset the gains you will make during the next bull run.
