Who would be compatible with someone with SPD?

I would guess a scientist could detach easily, thus could handle being inside the yoke.

Also the research scientist type ..... the abstract intuitive sort.

A little background....I have a severe case of Schizoid Personality Disorder (along with a mild case of Paranoid Personality Disorder).

To be brutally honest....the pool out there that would be compatible with someone like me is very small. I'm not easy to get to know and I don't easily get emotionally involved in someone. I'm not even paranoid over relationship stuff either.

Myself, I think someone with SPD would be the perfect life partner. I'm not afraid to be alone because i truly enjoy it. I would just enjoy life more having someone to love and being loved. Its pretty much impossible to meet the right person for me because he will also be in seclusion. I've never really been loved or if I have I didn't know it. Because what I first thought love was, was the opposite. I associated the pain of rejection with being in love. I didn't think I was in love until I was being pushed away because I was nothing but a burden to my mom. A painful reminder of her deceptive behavior backfiring in her face. (She stopped taking birth control AFTER finding out my dad didn't want kids, thinking he would change his mind once she was pregnant)

Wow...this is deep stuff. I *would* like to find a soul mate or someone to share time with. With me, it's just motivation to date again. I'm trying to find it. It's been so nice being alone all of this time. It's been years since I've dated...it's hard to get motivated.

While it's probably not advised due to the codependent nature, I'm pretty sure that my Bipolar disorder mood swings are something my boyfriend's schizoid personality is drawn to because it adds depth to his life. And I look to him for stability.I've read that it's a common pairing.
