to (Edit: Purex):
Indeed, I'm insecure and whiny. Woop-dee-doo. Does that make you better than me? Your condescending outlook on me is, like I said before, annoying. But the most annoying part of it is, you're probably right. I should just go "do stuff" and let go of all of the introversion...
To Cynic:
Possible, and it probably would be a good idea to research it because, like I said, not much is known about SPD. Also, it is good to make the distinction between Schizoid and Schizophrenia.
To Purex:
You're just annoying. You remind me of my dad. When he was growing up he did all...
(1) neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being a part of a family
Mostly true. I don't want friends and I don't care much about family gatherings. I've just met the occasional woman that's incredibly fun and interesting. These very rare people are the only ones I've ever...
To Cynic
Ya, that's the one difference with me and typical Schizoids. I do have a sex drive. (Edit: Some schizoid people have a sex drive but have no desire for relationships.)
The Schizoid definition, though it is true, is also a little eschew.
Some Schizoids *are* completely emotionally...
I have another screen name (I hope that's allowed. :foot:) that doesn't have my same world view but is easier to learn from others as him. I guess it's like a self defense and because it's more amusing. This would be me without the shells. So you may or may not see me around.
It's easy to...
Thanks for the welcomes, but I don't know how much I'll use this forum. This thread is about all I wanted to learn.
I put my physical stuff on for the hell of it. It's not like anyone will ever know if it's true or not anyway.
Ya, just isn't fair. I want to join the army too, but they wont accept me. Asthma sucks. I always have to find something else to do since I'm incapable of so much physically. (I can't even run a damn mile. I was a great sprinter but I don't think anything ****** me off more than being...
ha. I've kept a journal before, I had to for a class.
The thing that did for me is to show me I'm not totally insane like I thought I was.
Thanks for the reply, Quagmire. I always get that kind of reply (Don't worry about it, life will work out, just do the best you can.) or people tell me to...
I definitely think it's abnormal and it's not something that has just come up. I use to sit alone at tables in kindergarten, they were going to hold me back because of it. What *has* recently come up is my dependence and insecurities about being alone, which just plain isn't cool.
I miss those...
Have I been diagnosed as being schizoid?
Not that I know of.
I have never gotten a certificate that stated: You are, in fact, Schizoid! Yay!!!
But it's not too hard to figure out...
Schizoid being a psychological disorder at all is also debatable.
As for any other disorder or possible...

Do I win?
I'm a 18 years old, brown eyes, brown hair, 5'10", slender build man and schizoid in every respect except sexual desire.
I'm incredibly... afraid, I suppose, of my future. There's nothing that makes me happy and it's likely thirty years from now I'm going to be working a terrible job, living...
