Thank you for this assembly.
The young people under 23 are also mostly undiagnosed and living with their parents.
Also my impression is their posts are not as far away from affect as they claim or wish to be.
This reminded me of the passive aggressive pd.
“The behavior often reflects an unexpressed hostility or resentment stemming from a frustrating interpersonal or institutional relationship on which an individual is overly dependent.” “It results in persistent pervasive ineffectiveness, lack of self-confidence, poor interpersonal relationships, and pessimism that can lead in severe cases to major depression, alcoholism, or drug dependence.”
The bold self-diagnosis could be part of reinforcing ineffectiveness. The inconsequential chitchat dominating this forum is in my opinion the un-schizoid, normal way to banter and find self-affirmation. The behavior is more consistent with a clique than a discussion board, not to mention a schizoid one.
