Hello Guys,

Just a question. Have any of you had a safety person that you cherished and you talk a lot to them about interesting stuff and they listen and answer, but it is hard to talk to them sometimes because the things you talk about in terms of your interests are the humanities or academia or any other topics (schizoids are known to be introspective and have maladaptive daydreaming and fantasizing)? When you do ...

I have been relatively stable for at least 6 years now, after a complete destruction of everything in my life back in 2016. For reference, I’ve got BPD, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, OCD, BDD (body dysmorphia disorder), eating disorders in my late teens/early 20s, and I’m an INFJ.

I can’t remember being this angry since I had that psychotic breakdown back in 2016. I forgot I even had this kind of anger. It’s a ...

Hello guys. I'm new, so please be kind. Does Schizoid personality disorder blunt emotions to the point that the sufferer can't feel anything for their relatives both first degree and other degree? To explain the situation, when my father was dying, I didn't feel anything. When my relatives on his side started dying, I couldn't feel anything.

Have any of you had experience with that? Bear in mind, I have had traumatic experiences from childhood ...

My mother has BPD, my doctor has started to suspect I may have it. They dx'd me bipolar due to a cocaine abstinence crisis at 30. Up until then I hadn't been undiagnosed with anything, but taking meds and "meds" since I tried to kill myself at 16. This was the first time I had to show my "real mother I created inside me as a part of myself that can defend me". Apparently the ...

Hello everyone, I haven't been diagnosed with NPD, but I've been incredibly worried that I have it for years now! I've been doing so much research on this disorder recently that I realised I resonate with a lot of the traits, and this sent me into a depression and wanting to isolate from my loved ones to protect them! I have empathy, but I feel it's circumstantial, like for example I feel deeply for homeless ...

Hello, can you give me some insight. I have seen now too women with histrionic tendencies move to another city after their sister moved first. In both of these cases the sisters have quite clearly shown that rhey don't want to have a close relationship with the histrionic sister. And yet the histrionic sister still wants to follow them in to another city. What is the reason behind this? At least In one of these ...

Hi, this is my first post, so i apologize if i make any mistakes!!

SO, it started last year when I gotten a therapist due to me becoming more suicidal. This therapist during our first appointment reviewed things with me, then I believe.. screened me for BPD? I believe I'm suffering from symptoms, but was never fully confirmed on a DX. They had said I was probably suffering from it/may have symptoms.
During this time ...

we were having discussion on kids n how some families dont want kids
i said: even i'm not fond of kids as i dont want responsibility
my senior says: that means ur immature

i just want to punch him across the face for saying this.

I guess I've heard schizoids are supposed to be asocial. But what if one leans towards more the side of being antisocial? Can this be the schizoids in a some what spectrum between asocial and antisocial or is antisocial simply nothing to do with schizoids/SPD whatsoever ever
