AM I SCHIZOID OR SHY???

a lot will say im shy, but my close friends and family know thats not the case.


schzoids are the "i cant believe that shy quite boy could say such a thing" people.

we dont say much. but when we do, it usually blows peoples head off.

shy? far from.
quite? very

I do not agree at all. Anyone who has bottled up anger can make a 'shocking' statement. SP has nothing to do with it.

Being angry/outcast type etc sounds a lot more like schizotypal rather than schizoid.


edit: You could ask yourself if you would want to leave forever by yourself. No people around, ever. As if a catastrophe wiped out everything. Or rather if you would still want to be alone despite of people being around, waiting only behind a door.
An SP would remain in the room. A narcissist would want to feed of others. An outcast would want to be close to others so as to define himself as an outcast, and so would still be dependant on them.
Personally i could live forever by myself, and spend a large part of the day being in my writing world, where only i exist, and that is pleasant for me.

Im writing this because it is misleading for people (mostly teenagers do that of course) to think that SP is "cool". It is another personality type, and has specific traits. It is not the loner from the movies. It has some common ground with AS, in other words it is entirely introverted.

oh no no no. an sp is capable of worse than a person who is angry. i myself dont get angry. sp people get agitated. its more of a phisical reaction than a mental one.

anyone who is not angry neither sad can make the most shocking statements. they may not mean them but feel it is the appropriate thing to do. iv been in many situations when iv pretended to be very angry at a person. when a third person steps in and tells me to calm down, i assure them that im very calm. they always have the confused look on their faces.


geting angry or should i say pretending to be angry, is a manual proccess. i have to say to myself...im going to be mad now... then i act accordingly..but im not really mad.

their are situations that i find cause me more soicial stess if i dont go with the flow and display emotions as others do.

when im in trouble....which never feels like trouble. iv leanerd to pout..act angry as to show the person that i sort of care what there saying


if i was myself..well my mom calls that passive agressivness. which she under stands as my ability not to show the proper emotion t that time.

i usually laugh in which she laughs and calls me a crazy #####&

but people who dont know this, end up wanting to kill me. so i have to not smile and pout.

anyway, i got invited to a birthday do tonight, kind of indirectly (through my parents) and i was pressured into saying i'd go. but i really don't want to. the idea of going out, going to a pub, mixing with people most of whom i've never met and those i have i don't care about, just makes me feel bored and annoyed. i feel annoyed that i will be expected to listen to their petty lives, that i will be expected to be friendly, something i'll have to force. (just to clarify, this absolutely isn't a shyness thing, i am able to talk with these people as and when it's expected of me, but if i can get out of it, i will.)

do you ever inadvertently find yourself going to something that really, you don't want to go to? do you make excuses to not go, and if so, what excuses do you make? i think i'm going to use food poisoning tonight, because it's quick and hard to prove in hindsight. i feel mean and scheming for doing it but i'd rather that than have to put up with people in a social situation. being in front of the telly feeling mildly bored but ok in my own company is far preferable.

these are the kinds of times i feel a bit mean for opting out of society so to speak, but i'd rather they were one person down than i had to deal with all of them.

it seems a bit exxesive in vocabulary to me. its more like stage fright. you cant figure out who to look at in the audiance. every word is proceeded by anlylizing others facial expression. 2 you just dont feel connected with what others are saying. i because you dont know anything about the subject. 2 you know alot about the subject but still rather listen. as in my case.

the take you have i think is sort of one sided. the feeling annoyed is about displaying emotions that are not there. being polite feels anoying and akward because i cant grasp the fact that i just cant tell a person to shut the ###$ up. its more of a social enxiety. all the stops are pulled. i have to contantly gage my actions. which involves taking mulpiple snapshot of who ever im talking to. its a mental chess game. i can go it. just not normal.

When people ask me to go out i either say no or yes. not a big deal really. friends alreaddy know what i like and dont like. ot a big deal.
