According to this Personality Disorder Test
What is Schizoid Personality Disorder?
Quick Summary:
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships
and do not show much emotion. Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely
prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity.
They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact.
Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need
for attention or acceptance. They are perceived by others as humorless
and distant and often are termed "loners."
Symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder:
- Weak interpersonal skills
- Difficulty expressing anger, even when provoked
- "Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations
- Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged
- Low sexual desire
- Unresponsive to praise or criticism
Additional Information:
It is important to distinguish schizoid from avoidant.
Avoidants will feel anxiety in social situations and have the desire to
fit in, while schizoids simply prefer to be alone. It is occassionally
difficult to distinguish between schizoid and Asperger's, as well.
This disorder is diagnosed more frequently and is often more severe
among males. Schizoids usually do not seek treatment on their own and
are often coaxed into it by a loved one.
