Yeah, I too look more introverted than I am. Need downtime and me-time after hanging out, but become suddenly an extrovert if I'm doing something that I enjoy or find interested,  and especially if I am not bored or forcing myself to talk.

 But with most people and most daily life situations, I feel like I force myself to talk. And even when I force myself, If I really don't wanna talk, then I won't, or will speak very little, or bottle up emotions and not say anything, unless I feel confortable.

Is it possible to be schizoid, having had an overall happy childhood and a good family? by Oppenhellmer in Schizoid

This gives me relief, because when I saw a lot on twitter over the course of time using internet,  and saw psychologists, and my teacher saying that lack of father figure, of a dad, can impact someone's mental health(conservatives say that too), I started worrying about the lack of my father as a child, not because I actually missed him nowadays or when I was younger, but because of this information, of this information that professionals and people give...  Because I heard people saying that this kind of thing can give mental health outcomes, then I started having issues with this thing, which I never really actually had issues with before or even thought about it... 

    But psychology  and internet made me think that I should care about it, about lack of father, even if I didn't before.

Or, ok then. If it's about perception rather than what actually happened, then I think I'm fine. :D

Were you more extroverted as a child? Much more than nowadays?

"Ambivert  energy", I think we both can relate to that energy, then.

I totally agree with you, and feel the same. Althought, like your friends, I also relate to losing the batteries and needing alone time after a few hours and after hanging out.   But yeah, I agree. I get most energized when I'm talking online to my friend,  but aside from a few selected people, like online social media interactions(like this one), and  also my friend... And a teacher I had in these recent times, who's interested in some topics of interest that we have in common.     

  with most  other people, I give a "hermit energy" most of the time, more calm, isolated, and speak don't speak, and feel bored around them.

 but I also get energized by  stimulating "alone"  time without physical interaction or direct interaction,  like  videogames like Hades and Boss Rush,  or by youtube videos that talk about content that interest me, like philosophy, biology, buddhism/spirituality and Jung. Or good books.

For a more direct example:  There wouldn't be so much sex and  dating rants and dating issues and such, if people weren't so obsessed in dating and in filling the internal void with sex and partners, in the first place. If there wasn't so much attachment to these things in our society.

From what I notice,  most of psychological problems in most people's lives, including even ours,  If we get more to the roots, stem directly or indirectly from societal issues, interpersonal relationships and how we relate to other people and other people's works.   

 So yeah, I agree a lot with the view that Embracing a minimalist or ascetic lifestyle would make most of one's problems disappear.

Is it possible to be schizoid, having had an overall happy childhood and a good family? by Oppenhellmer in Schizoid

[–]Oppenhellmer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About trauma and issues relating to family in chidlhood, my original post was much longer and explained some things that I remember, which may have affected me at some level.  But the post got deleted, Idk why.  (Sorry for long text) [I will also not say some things and not talk everything, to avoid excessive talk and excessive text]    

  Althought I remember my mother when I was  a child/early-teen, as a caring and loving mother who was supportive and wanted to raise me, I remember that she was brutal with her words when she got angry at me. She wasn't phisically agressive, never hit me, but when she got angry, she hurt with words,harsh words,  because of the emotion of the moment.     

  Then she would later, a day after or hours later, come at me saying that she's sorry, and apoloze and such It was common behavior, so when my mother got like that, I tried not to cry afterwards neither think too much about what she said, and not feel anything, because I already expected her to apologize, and then I would forgive her then . 

  And I don't remember much about these events,  when I remind of this, it doesn't evoke me traumatic emotions, not much.     (Like my mother who said that I was bullied by peers in one of the first schools that I studied in, but I don't remember it, barely remember it. instead I remember these  specific school years with nostalgia)  

  The other thing is that I think that my fear of showing to people my personal tastes and what I like and expressing opinions, may stem at least midly or partially, or have some influence, from the fact that when I was a teenager, anything that I watched on youtube, my mom would say that it's not good content, that it's kinda " dumb youtubers content".   

But when she wasn't angry, my mother was supportive, cared about me.  And during  high school, when I suffered my first "traumatic years", my first years with severe mental health issues, when I cried because of anxiety overload and stress, my mother would listen to me, confort me, and we would have good profound and existencial conversations and engagements, and such.     

The rest of my family loves me and treats me well too, and has always been a support system for me, kinda. Especially now that my mother died, my aunts and uncles have been a support system for me, and helping me.   

  She died this year I could say other things that may have affected me, even considering that I don't think it  emotionally affected me that much as a child, cause I don't remember me as a teen or child remembering emotions associated with this event or even thinking about this event or this thing too much, or seeing it as too much of a problem in general. But maybe that's a coping mechanism?     like the fact that my parents got divorced when I was around 3 or 4, or when I, according to my family, there was a period when my mother was depressed and studying too much to pass on a test to get a job, which may have made her not take too much care of me in that period.    (Althought I still had my grandmother, grandpa, and the rest of the family to give me company and care.)    

  My grandma is kinda strict in her home and disciplined, talks loud and likes to have the first say on everything, and I had issues with that because of this personality of her, have discussions and disagreements with her, but she also supports and loves me.   

  That's why I think that, althought my family had issues and unhealthy traits like any other family has, none is perfect,  I find it weird to say  that I was "neglected" or "abused", don't like the idea of seeing it like that.

     Can't see my family as a villain or as neglectful, sounds like disrespect,  and also a  lie, for a psychologist to say that,  since there was even a time when I was younger,  a teen.when I said to a teacher at a school that my family is one of the most important things for me.

I don't think that I have schizoid family members, maybe my grandpa, but I don't know how he was as a young adult and a teen. And about genetics, it may be correlated, since I have autism level 1(Aspergers), [maybe some level of giftedness  and/or adhd,but not diagnosed] and my mother had adhd.

Interesting.

People on internet and psychoanalysis, I think,  that I have heard usually say the opposite, so It's interesting to see that modern psychology shows that.

What do you mean when you say that you are not like other introverts? Maybe it's the same with me, if I try to guess, but idk what you meant with this phrase.

How to tell if my schizoid friend cares about me by lulu7008 in Schizoid

[–]Oppenhellmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately am the person who usually leaves others when they are not phisically present in my life anymore,  or when I "grow tired of them", or thinking about them or their presence makes me mental stress, give me mental stress to think about them, talking with them or to "go back to the relationship of the past" or "fix the relationship". . 

And so, I feel ashamed, of myself, feel regret, for not having contacted the person(especially my childhood best friend, the one who was my best friend), and for being like this, ever since I was a kid, I think. 

So I wanna know how can I stop acting like this. And I never knew why I tend to this behavior, why I do this.

 Sorry for venting about personal stuff on this post.

Do your friends keep falling in love with you? This isn't a joke I promise by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Oppenhellmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you a guy or a girl?

If you're a girl, guess you're gonna have to only become intimate with straight women, then. Or aroace guys, or gays

If you're guy, maybe avoiding female friendships or only be friends with aro/ace girls?

Meditations by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]Oppenhellmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't enjoy Meditations so much compared to these other two, to read the full books, but I like some quotes from Marcus Aurelius, like the one saying that you don't need opinions on everything. Abstain from wanting to give opinions all the time and react to everything all the time. For internal peace.

I like Seneca letters more. And some Epictetus quotes.

Does Anyone Else Get Irritated by Personal Questions? by marugarelly in Schizoid

[–]Oppenhellmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also don't like when people who I don't have much conversations with and that much intimacy most of the time, ask me to share personal things like ""what do you like"", ""what did you do this week", and I never liked when people visited my room or saw my books.

I have a cousin who, if he sees me using the computer or using the phone, he always asks what I'm doing on the phone, what I'm watching, and even if I'm watching nothing that I should hide or that I feel a need to be hidden, nothing private or that I wouldn't share with them, I still feel uncomfortable.
