Schizoids, do you take care of yourselves?

Do you get enough sleep?

Usually.

eat a balanced diet?

yes.

exercise regularly?

Ususally

and/or practice good hygiene?

No. I've been wearing the same workshirt for weeks and I smell like a homeless person.

Do you smoke, drink, and/or do drugs?

Yes, not currently, yes.

I've seen people online "imagine" schizoids as dishevelled, unwashed, unshaven hermits. Perhaps there is some truth to that, but I thought I'd ask here.

It's true for me.

In terms of health, yes. In terms of appearance, no.

I eat right, exercise, sleep and so on because I feel like crap when I don't.

When it comes to hygiene, I tend to go with the bare acceptable minimum. I don't smell but I don't wear make-up, make any effort to keep up with fashions, wear the same three shirts to work every week, etc.

I just don't see the point of spending a lot of time and money to impress other people. But I wouldn't go so far the other way too that lack of hygiene made me stand out or interfered with my ability to make a living.

Boyfriend's Schizoid, I'm not, but we've lived together for a while now, so I'll answer these.

Do you smoke, drink, and/or do drugs? No to all of these. He's 100% against all of it, at least for himself. He doesn't care if people around him do it, but he won't.\

This was exactly me before living with my boyfriend, but with more sobriety.

Not really, I don't think I'm good enough to. I tend to help others or do things for them as they are worth it, not me. I drink and I smoke, but more as a punishment for not being good enough.

I take care of myself. I like to exercise and try to eat decent. I do enjoy alcohol, but I make up for that through the exercise and diet. You also have to get enough sleep. It's underrated.

No drugs, booze cigarettes. Not even caffeine. I eat too much chocolate. I used to be able to eat a lot without getting too heavy because I used to work out a lot. But with bad feet and my right AC joint going it's impossible to work out that much anymore.

I often come across as a prude, which I would imagine as a complete opposite of a “dishevelled, unwashed hermit”. Once I was talking to a woman, who after finding out I don’t drink, or smoke, or take drugs, or gamble, told me to “live a little”. Funnily enough, I have quite a few hobbies, I just don’t like to spend money on stuff that doesn’t have an effect on me. I do eat and exercise and sleep regularly so that I stay well physically. But similarly to most people here, acceptable minimum is okay for me (no make-up, saunas, spa treatments, posh clothes, gourmet dinners and other expensive $#%^, especially if cheap works equally well).

I eat healthy and don't smoke/drink/drug - but am too lazy to take care of my hygiene, and never exercise. Not a great sleeper either. lol

Do you get enough sleep?
Not always, because I'm an evening person so I like to go to bed late, and then read in bed. But I have to get up early.

eat a balanced diet
Yes, but I eat too much chocolate and biscuits, especially when I'm feeling tired or stressed.

exercise regularly
Inconsistently. At the moment, no. It would help in relieving stress, that's for sure.

and/or practice good hygiene?
I always wear the same style of clothes, hair and make-up. I don't follow the fashions or have manicures etc. I shower every day, but find getting ready every morning a struggle, because I'm not a morning person.

Do you smoke, drink, and/or do drugs?
I drink a bit at the weekend, but not enough to get drunk.
