I don't even know if I spelled his name right. It's actually just Holderlin with rock dots over the "o," but I honestly still haven't figure out how to add things like umlauts to letters when I type on my computer. Plus I was feeling too lazy to copy and paste it from somewhere else.

In English ö is usually replaced by oe.

If you want to write oe as ö hold down o key and ô,ö,ò,ó,œ,ø,ō, and õ, will appear. Make your choice. Alternatively you can change the operating language, or use the slower cut and paste.

Things get a bit odd if you are writing in Anglo-Saxon or Icelandic where apart from Æ, you also have Eth (/ɛð/, uppercase: Ð, lowercase: ð; also spelled edh or eð), and Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ) to contend with.

There is a difference between shizoid and withdrawn. They don't seem like the 'intimacy avoiding type' nor the 'emotionally dulled type' to me.

I really can't think of anyone . I mean I know of artists that felt isolated their entire lives even if they had relationships with others, but they still don't really fit.

I don't remember clearly the story, but the main character was really someone special.

Talking about Kerouac, I am not so sure now he had SPD.
« On the road » shows a man who travels with people.

And about Pessoa, now I understand this point of view and in a way it became my point of view, but he was a complex person, and was able to have different ways of thinking, which makes him difficult to put in a category.

I read the article about the Kerouac guy :http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2011/fall/kerouac.html that was linked somewhere in this forum.


Anyway this sounds more shizotypal to me:" auditory hallucinations, ideas of reference and suicide; and a rambling, grandiose, philosophical manner" plus just his erratic behavior as well.

Though they said all that description above was 'dementia praecox'but the schizoid personality just doesn't seem to fit his impulsive manner lol.

Of course he could have just been bipolar? lmao . That explains the 'schizoid/ alien ' and then the 'debaucharous impulsive' .....Veering from one extreme to the other.

I don't really know. Maybe you can be a super impulsive reckless shizoid. I am just wondering if the definition has changed over time or not.

some really great piano pieces by that one.

Thanks for the discovery !

I thought that Jack Kerouac was just another alcoholic. However, i found this Psychobiography....
