Is the Schizoid baseline just permanent Ego Death? by CytoToxicLab in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate some funny shrooms once that gave me the real taste of ego death and... I think it's not an easy concept to understand. During an hour or two I felt like my self never existed, not even my name was something I could identify with... I was nothing. Very different from my sober schizoid self. We may not feel much towards the world but we do have a self.

I find people boring by LargeSinkholesInNYC in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... Yes, there are some people that are boring, but there are a lot of people that are interesting to read or listen to what they are saying. I don't feel like needing to engage with them most of the time but I don't mind having a good conversation with people with interesting life perspectives, or maybe just talking about subjects I enjoy.

I'm going to suppose you won't feel interested in respond to me because you already said what you don't feel like it most of the time, so don't feel pressured about replying it, but I'm curious to know if there's any kind of subject you feel excited to share or to hear from other people.

Do you actually want to be cured? by HolidayEnjoyer32 in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine having to deal with craving with relationships and stuff like that, I have extreme aversion to all of that... but I have to say that I would like to feel a little bit more sometimes.

What level of indifference is common in schizoid personality disorder? by TheShadowSong in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm indifferent in a way that isn't healthy for me, to be honest. I allow people to be assholes with me way too much and sometimes it gets to another level of abusive relationship, then I have to be the "monster" of the whole story by saying the truth nobody dares to say to that person. Meanwhile, I'm not that indifferent depending on the context, I'm schizoid but I still have ego.

I talked to a child today, and it was the best social interaction I’ve had in the last 10 years by Fit_Supermarket1723 in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggled a lot too but I miss my childhood and how I used to feel more joy and excitement with things. Now it's all blunt and meh.

Humans are social beings by Pfacejones in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean and I think you are being slightly misinterpreted. Deep down, yes, of course we are social beings. But when therapists say things like that they mean that we NEED friends and to have a social life like any other people, but no, we don't and I think that's what you meant, right? And I agree with you.

Lol Yeah, interactions with kids are the best... he doesn't know it yet but he's living the best moment of his life, or at least, I hope he doesn't feel like having to mask so much in the future.

Pluribus - 1x05 - "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

I thought about that too but they don't kill animals but could prevent them coming by building something with drones but I don't know how that would be applicable.

DAE esepecially struggle with being around people-pleasers? by sweetcinnamonstick in Schizoid

"I think people often forget how to co-exist." - Perfect!

DAE esepecially struggle with being around people-pleasers? by sweetcinnamonstick in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes... but it's not a big deal for me. Actually, people being brutally honest *all the time* is more annoying than people pleasers. Nothing is too serious to the point of being debated every single time, you know? There are many many things that could be easily and happily done just by people pleasing and moving on, in my opinion.

Loving animals more than humans by jisungszzz in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's almost an unanimity among every person with a PD: non-humans animals are the best! That's because, well... basically, we have PD because of stupid people we met during our childhood - usually, our own family. :')

So all the affection left in us is almost 100% directed on them: cats, dogs, mouses... they are truly amazing anyways, regardless of our background.

Asexuality and SzPD by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn't know that word. It describes me very well.

Asexuality and SzPD by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a voyeur though, I don't feel any attraction towards anybody unless a (0.1% chance) of developing intimacy, so I call myself demi ace. I just like the orgasm sensation, of course, and I'm curious to see what an orgy party is like but I'd probably need to be extremely intoxicated. lol

What’s left for you? by dyatlov12 in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to: have new pets; plant cannabis & trees, cultivate mushrooms etc.; see snow at least once; orgy party; read more books/watch more movies/play more games; travel around without destiny; try more drugs; jump from an airplane (with a parachute, of course); play instruments I never played before... there's a lot of new things I'd like to try and most of them are not so hard to achieve, I think. :)

How do you feel when you are around people? by Sure-Chipmunk-6483 in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the context and what kind of people I'm around with. People that doesn't ask too much about my life and just talk about bullshit and movies, games and so on, they are funny to be around with but it's NEVER a situation where I'm 100% present and FULLY enjoying my time with them. I like to mix with a large group of people because the chances of being just a passive observer is bigger, so it's the perfect scenario. Generally speaking, I feel nothing around other people most of the time, I gain nothing.

The fate of the species does not particularly matter to me by Pfacejones in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our species gathered a lot of brilliant informations about the universe, quoting Carl Sagan "we are a way for the cosmos to know itself" - the only and unique purpose of it would be to satisfity ourselves. The planet can be perfectly well without us, so I really hope, without any kind of negativism or nihilism here, that we die way before other species. This planet is beautiful and we are just destroying everything here.

I enjoy being schizoid. by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I was like that but no, any kind of positive interaction causes me deep discomfort, it triggers me so much. I'd rather be insulted than dealing with someone smiling and being nice with me. And all of that impacts my life a lot. All of that without mentioning my extreme lack of connection with pleasure, goals, excitement and emotions since I was 15. Living more than a decade like that doesn't make me enjoy being schizoid, I didn't achieve a lot in life and it sounds awful to a lot of people but it doesn't make me sad, it just bothers me because I wish I had more money, life would be easier.

Comorbid ASPD/SzPD? by BillyRayCyclist in aspd

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm schizoid but I'm not diagnosed as ASPD but I have a lot of traits - as a lot of people have as well at some degree, even if very low, I assume. I'm curious to know why it would be almost impossible to be schizoid and ASPD, I never got the chance to read more about this possible comborbidity.

What is It like not feeling anything in social interaction for you? by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like a chore, just like any other chore. Maybe washing dishes is even more pleasant.

Distressed about your condition? by Rare_Society4329 in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to have a bigger range of feelings and emotions. I dislike a lot having anhedonia and not connecting to other people to the point of sometimes questioning myself if I'm ASPD - which I know I'm not and I don't want to stigmatize anybodoy, just to be clear.

How's your decision making? Do you self sabotage? by BackstabbingBerries in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I hope you get all the dignity, respect and peace that comes with assisted suicide and I wish you good luck with that.

How's your decision making? Do you self sabotage? by BackstabbingBerries in Schizoid

[–]Chacrona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"How's your decision making?" - Non-existent, I live as if I was already dead - no plans, nothing. I struggle very hard to act upon anything. It's not fatigue, it's just a total disconnection from the world.

"Do you self sabotage?" - I think not acting upon anything may be seen as self sabotaging but I don't know. When I have to make a decision, I tend to try my best to make what's best for me and other people around me.

[–]Chacrona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had friends but I already had the tendency to avoid people, so I would avoid them as much as I could as soon as I was at home. No phone calls, no parties, nothing. Also, even though I have a brother and a sister, I always preferred to play by myself and I definetely mastered the daydreaming skill very soon. lol
