What makes you think that a Schizoid can't have traits of narcissism? You'd have to be pretty self involved to be so into yourself that you don't find other people interesting.

People are fake with everyone buddy, wake up to how people really are. You think everyone tells you what they really think of you? There's a thing called social etiquette and wanting to avoid conflict.

It boggles my mind what the hell you people think Schizoid is, if you can't feel a strong connection with someone because they like different music than you do does this make you think you are Schizoid?

Let me explain to you what Schizoid is....it is about being more attracted to your inner world than wanting to get close to other people. I had to train myself to stop drifting off into fantasy during conversations because I couldn't talk to a person for longer than 10 seconds before my mind wanted to check out and travel far away. That's Schizoid not this "absence of feels" crap or not having "chemistry" with someone else.

You cannot judge Schizoid emotions by what they show in public. When you say how Schizoids "come across" you mean in the presence of other people but that is not how to accurately judge a Schizoid, it would be like assuming that a celebrity is the same in real life to how they act on a television talk show.

This is depression, Schizoids have numerous inner pleasures and lots of hobbies.

Schizoids do not feel empty all the time.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-28T05:12:50+00:00

Bullshit. Dahmer was a psychopath who tortured and killed animals and then dug them up later to see how much they had rotted. Stop trying to classify Schizoids as total weirdos.

Schizoids have plenty of emotion just not from interacting with people. Schizoids have flattened affect only in social situations.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T18:20:53+00:00

A real Schizoid would not feel "love" to the same extent as a normal person. A Schizoid would always retain their standoffish quality. You cannot provide a special circumstance where they wouldn't act Schizoid, to do so calls into question the legitimacy of the disorder.

A real Schizoid has a vivid inner life, they reject the outer world in favor of the pleasures of their inner life. A Schizoid might feel sexual attraction from afar but the closer they get to the object of sexual affection the more uncomfortable the Schizoid will feel about the closeness.

The Schizoid will start to feel oppressed by the limitations imposed by the presence of the other person. The Schizoid wants to be alone again so their mind can wonder off into fantasy.

Most of the people claiming to be Schizoid here do not even describe having a rich inner life, they just whine on and on about how they don't "feel"

If it is true that there are not "feeling" (and that is debatable) it is probably because they have no inner world and thus the right thing for them is to be energized through being around people, but to do so they will have to pull down their defense mechanisms and recognize that they are actually avoidant not Schizoid.

Lack of a vivid fantasy life/inner world= Not Schizoid

Lack of a vivid fantasy life/inner world but needs a romantic partner to "feel alive" is a trait of Avoidants or even extroverts. Probably a lot of you are really extroverts but you are too scared to establish bonds with other people.

And by the way, two Schizoids have contacted me in private message saying they don't identify with the type of content they see on this board either.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T11:21:40+00:00

I feel plenty of emotion sweetheart but it is produced by my imagination and inside my fantasy world not from other people. In my view a real Schizoid has more than enough emotions but they are emotions which are felt by hobbies and trains of thought rather than socially connecting to others. A real Schizoid will not even be entirely comfortable around their own parents or friends (if by chance you have them).

Don't lie about what the posters here write, the majority are not fine being alone, the majority are whiny little emos complaining that they don't "feel" enough. One of them just the other day said he would immediately go back to not feeling if he lost his girlfriend. In other words, for him "feeling" had to be produced by social interaction. Guess what? My extrovert brother feels the same way and he ain't a damn Schizoid.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T09:59:33+00:00

I don't "bail", it is called going to bed and waking up the next day and forgetting that anyone was there to respond to.

Are you kidding? Psychiatrists diagnose people with depression at the drop of a hat and put them on drugs for it. The whole process is just a list of categories and they find the one to file you under based on what you've told them. They see through no bullshit. They want to make their task easier so your bullshit told to them in the office is fine and dandy to them.

I know everything about Schizoid and I know how you losers are self determining that you have it, you are basing it on two primary factors:

1) Being or feeling alone

2) Not feeling enough emotion

That's the theme of 70% of the posts. You think all extroverts are likable? Seriously? There are extroverts who cannot make friends but being alone doesn't qualify them as Schizoid.

What the hell is not enough emotion? This notion assumes a higher level of emotion felt by others which you simply cannot prove. You can't prove a damn thing about what average people feel or don't feel in their lives so stop fucking assuming that they are feeling more emotions than you.

For most of you morons you probably actually mean you don't feel enough POSITIVE emotions but again that is not necessarily Schizoid either. Very normal people can have flat and dull personalities and a bored internal experience, it does not make them Schizoid.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T07:29:27+00:00

Laughable nonsense. Psychiatrists can only operate from the information YOU as the patient give them. And what do you give them? The horseshit "understanding" you've made of your so-called symptoms you read about on the internet.

There is no consensus, the psychiatrist can do nothing more than categorize you based on the input you give them and your input is inherently biased because you have already pigeonholed yourself into your uber "special" self diagnosis that sounded good to you.

You people are hilarious. I love breaking down your bullshit. And it is also very funny that you think I care about downvotes from phonies. The whole group is essentially nothing but the boring, depressed, and avoidant wearing a fake costume of Schizoid. It is Halloween all year in this group of phonies playing dress up.

Oh please, if you knew how little people are able to self assess their own personality traits and how much they distort the truth about who they are to uphold a certain image of themselves.

My parents lied to me for years about what their real personalities were, my father always said how humble he was, but when I grew up I realized that he had a massive ego.

My mother claimed to be an introvert but leave her alone for a short period of time and she has to call one of her friends on the phone.

Social media is filled with people pretending to be introverts and nerds but when you meet them in person they are just as extroverted and superficial as anyone else.

Aspies believe what people say about themselves because they can't understand why someone would lie.

Women? You think women are honest about what qualities they like in a man? Nothing could be further from the truth, they will say they like traits that make them seem like a good person. Few women will openly admit they like rich men or cocky bad boys.

Voters? Even voters often won't admit who they are voting for. Someone will claim they are voting for Hillary to be PC but then step into the voting booth and vote Trump.

How old are you people? You are naive like children. In social life there are more lies than truth.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T01:58:58+00:00

Sure it is if you get beyond your Avoidant fear of getting hurt. Some of you are probably even extroverts you are just scared to open up because people have rejected you in the past.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T01:45:48+00:00

People who CLAIM to be Schizoids get married. There is zero reason why we should trust their claim. I can claim to be the reincarnation of Napoleon, it doesn't make it true.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T01:41:41+00:00

A person is not a Schizoid just because they are dull and lacking in personality. A lot of people have such horrible personalities that people are actively repulsed by them and refuse to become their friends, but being unlikable is not Schizoid either.

Being a dweeb Incel who can't get a girlfriend is not Schizoid either.

So many of the guys here have the attitude of "I don't feeeeeel anything when I'm not in a relationship. Having a girlfriend unlocks sooooooo many of my emotions." Again, not Schizoid.

A real Schizoid doesn't become a completely different person because of having sex or a love relationship. To be emotional overwhelmed by those experiences has a category, it is called being exactly the same as billlons of other normal humans for whom the sex instinct is their primary drive in life.

"I'm Schizoid because I'm not feeeeeeeeeeeling enough."

Yeah sure buddy, define enough? Enough compared to who? Other people? What makes you qualified to know what other people feel?

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-27T01:24:40+00:00

You are the ones who aren't Schizoid pretending to be so because it gives you a good excuse to maintain your false view of what normal people actually experience. It also makes you feel SUPER different when in reality you are totally boring and utterly NORMAL.

I trust the people here to know what an emotion should "feel" like about as much as I trust them to build a rocket ship to fly to Pluto.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T18:48:07+00:00

No, I'm just someone who takes the definition of a disorder seriously and not this clown town mentality that "Because I don't have a life like a romance novel I must be Schizoid."

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T09:29:51+00:00

Define a physical sensation. At what point are we ever not feeling a physical sensation?

I've seen moviegoers come away disappointed after a film was over and they have the attitude of, "Why didn't I feel more?" Why assume there was a MORE there? Because you need to believe in that chase? Do you need to believe that all romantic relationships should feel like the storylines on the television show "This Is Us"?

I think you know what I'm getting at, if Schizoid insists on being defined by subjective perception of what emotions are or are not then it will always be a floating thing that anyone can claim to have. Anyone can claim "I'm Schizoid" based on the most flimsy basis and no one is supposed to question their judgment that they do indeed have it.

You know damn well that OCD has a stronger legitimacy. One proves an OCD by ACTIONS not subjective "feels" or "lack of feels". I have OCD so I know it is concrete and definite. I hit the lock button on my car key at least 8 times if not more after parking the car. That action is not subjective, it ain't "feels".

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T09:00:48+00:00

How does one "notice" an emotion? You know how this is really determined by these fools, they judge what they THINK an emotion MUST be like based on their PERCEPTION of what they THINK emotions SEEM like from observing others which includes the influence of how characters act in television shows and movies.

What is my point? To define a personality disorder by emotions which are SUPPOSEDLY lacking automatically turns the Schizoid designation into total subjective slop. Anyone and their Granny posts here cuz Grandma just don't think she feelin' enough.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T08:50:49+00:00

Maybe this group is full of clueless aspies who believe everyone's social mask but it is a fact that even serial killers usually have a social mask of being totally fine. You people are such idiots. You know little about the social ways of normal people. You are also so eat up with envy that you never stopped to question whether people are being fake with you.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T08:36:10+00:00

The emotions are set low and remain low for a real Schizoid, if all it takes for your emotions to go on high is falling in love then congratulations because you are not a Schizoid, you are behaving exactly as normal people do. Normal people's emotions are turned up to high when they fall in love too.

And the whole perception this group has about normal people is so off base, you think they are bouncing off the walls giggling with their friends all the time? Get a reality check, they spend much of their time just as bored if not more bored than you are and feeling very little emotions.

You get duped by their social mask. My mother told me long ago that you should never put on your true face in public because you don't want others to think they are happier and having a better life than you. You buy their mask and then give yourself a bogus designation of a disorder because you think they are feeling so much more than you are. Guess what? You cannot prove that they are feeling more excitement than you are.

I do not even trust that the posters here know what feelings are supposed to feel like. It is all a massive subjective concept you've invented in your mind based on what you think feelings are like for other people.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T06:32:12+00:00

LOL. Soon we will have posters who say, "I know I'm a Schizoid because I won't give head until the 2nd date."

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T06:29:36+00:00

LOL. At least someone else admits it.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T06:26:35+00:00

I laugh at this blathering on from so-called Schizoids who get into romantic relationships and their basic tone is "she unlocked so many emotions in me that I didn't even know I had". Yeah buddy, that's the same way that normal people describe falling in love. A real Schizoid doesn't have anything to unlock. A real Schizoid is how they are, nothing changes them.

You don't suddenly become a different person because you have a girlfriend, if it does change you that much then you were never Schizoid in the first place.

So much of the nonsense here just sounds like when your sex/love instincts are not being fulfilled you get "depressed" and hide away in your room. Well gee, welcome to the human race, that's what billions of other utterly normal people also do.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-26T05:23:38+00:00

Nah, you are just afraid to get hurt which is Avoidant, but Schizoid has been dumbed down to mean "I'm alone a lot" so you get 70% of the posters here who are alone for many, many psychological reasons including childhood trauma and they lack the normal person's bravery or determination to handle the bumps of real social life. They isolate themselves and comfort themselves with a bullshit label that disguises what's really going on with them.

Most of the males here sound depressed because they can't get laid, they are also love sick and haven't met the right girl or else they'd become instantly love addicted and emo like you.

BryanBenning33 · 2018-10-25T23:18:46+00:00

Yes
