SRW without any knowledge of mecha
Lots of obscure dungeon crawlers, factorio, lots of 4X games. Will only play FPS exclusively as lone wolfs often topping the scoreboard and switching teams once they get one side to start mass disconnects.

t. schizoid
I play kingdom hearts and other final fantasy games alot.
>factorio
I love that game, and im just paranoid and add.
I think the best play through I had so far was lazy bastard + no laser turrets + no logi and still launched a rocket faster than I ever have. It's a good game to just screw around in.
I know those feels bro. I can go weeks where I have plenty of time but will just open a game and close it in 5 minutes or stare at my library. I will spend 2 hours setting up for emulation hunting down disc images and tweak it just right and then abandon it. Just gotta roll with it and keep trying different things and out of the blue you will hit something like a bolt of lightning and suddenly you put 100 hours into some random shit in like 2 weeks and descend into a level of focus you haven't had since adolescence. Just keep trying different things and accept you're different.
>mfw mostly me
Are there any other games that schizoids play?
GIVE ME THE ARROW, GIORNO
This, I still remember how much of a trance I was in when I played Sengoku Rance for the first time.
I forgot Rimworld. You can do a lot of amoral shit and suddenly be faced with caring about a few of the colonist for whatever reason. The inherent chaos of it is always entertaining.
they dont play anything they sit on websites like Yea Forums and rabbit and make long extensive posts about how someone tried to rape them and get them banned or how there are secret figures in the gaming industry against them
FF15 and CRPGs
What's it like being a schizoid? I always thought being skitzo meant you see and hear things but it seems like theres other types of schizoid then just that.

schizoids a personality disorder
its different
I only like talking to people with anonymity, can entertain multiple ideologies while in direct conflict, can switch from amoral to righteous in a breath. Will argue points I don't believe in for the sake of argument. Can spout off a highly complex concept or idea one moment and the next lose all train of thought. Immune to advertisement and propaganda. Prone to escapism and grandiose thinking. Prefer to keep to myself but will tell people off who make an effort to mess with me.
Korean MMOs
so there's hope for me?
i've had this since a few years. I can consider myself lucky since i've known groups of friends before that shit began hitting me. Now i've lost contact with them and lost every liking for relationships. Thank God the internet exists today.

Here's a tip: learn the difference between schizoids and schizophrenics
They can't make heads or tails if it's that or i'm just a sperg. Doesn't really matter either way since i'm medication resistant.
Oh fuck
how many of you fags enjoy pvp?
What the fuck, the left side describes me perfectly.
oh shit
what game is that?
FFXV apparently
Only if I can operate solo. I might help groups at random but it's typing only.

Dwarf Fortress
Does anyone else here get lost in thought and imagine themselves making their ideal vidya while listening to random vidya remixes at max volume?
Some game from PC98, dunno the name.
I can bear a few games of league of legend ARAMs a day but no real pvp. Being invaded in Dark Souls always made me anxious

Schizotypal is low level schizophrenia.
Schizoid is basically emotional blundness and an extreme introverted cognitive style. This is also seen in schizophrenia patients, but the two are two different things entirely

Schizoid is the chadiest disorder ever, you are completly inmune to bullshit, but if it didnt gave you super intelligence just kill yourself already
I play spelunky a lot
Yea Forums.org
its the greatest MMO ARG ever made
>get tested and have 140+
>figure out it's all just spatial awareness and pattern recognition
>only take on jobs beneath you
>loathe people calling you smart when people just specialize
not all that great really
That's because Spelunky's great user. Finished the hell route at approximately 100h in.
maybe im just a schizoid but i failt to see how half of these overt features are actually considered a disorder. i mean how is compliancy a DISorder? or self sufficiency? looks more like the disorder is low self esteem and not necessarily "schizoid"
This is literally me. Wtf. Is Yea Forums a hive of schizoids? Also can someone explain the divide between left and right? I dun get it
Yea Forums is a IN type hive and those lean heavily towards schizoid features.
Left is what happens on the outside, right is what happens on the inside
Its an anonymous imageboard, of course its a hive of schizoids
"Personality disorder", i.e., diagnosed if fits x out of y criteria AND impairs day to day functioning.
A trait alone obviously isn't a disorder, it's when the majority apply and begin to impair you. Of course with the combination of both sides.
SPD is about the "split" between outside and inside, hence the "schizo".
I bet over half of the userbase comes closer to avoidant pd than schizoid.
Core difference are the amount of fucks given. And a lot of the postera are overly sensitive
"Features" are just that, features. Not symptoms. There's a separate table for symptoms you can look up.
Feels good to know im not a one-off weirdo and that there are a whole category of other weirdos out there just like me. Sucks that my personality is a literal matrix of suffering, loneliness and contradiction and that i can never change
anything they've modded themselves
But the image says schizoid is extremely sensitive on the inside despite not displaying it outwardly, if i understand correctly. Anonymous posting seems like it would represent the ‘covert’ sensitivity rather than the ‘gives no fucks’ outward appearance
>only take on jobs beneath you
>loathe people calling you smart when people just specialize
Thats literally me, fuck streesful jobs I rather have time for myself.
What bothers me is that avoidant is too sensitive and what I've seen of SPDs is that they are too distanced from their emotions. I'm kind of stuck in the middle where SPD traits apply more than avoidant but I'm not a complete aspies-tier robot.
Maybe avoidant and schizoid arent all or nothing, and you dip into both?
I like to think of it like having a brain that can load multiple operating systems and see things from entirely opposing perspectives as truth tends to be muddled in the middle somewhere, even if truth is purely subjective. Deep within that suffering is the rarest of smiles that boils forth when you accept things and find the joys in accepting that one can be part of everything when they accept that they are ultimately nothing.
Oh God...

if you were a schizoid why the fuck would you even post here
Don't think about it. If you do you'll feel compelled to act one way or another and you'll end up playing a part
>play FPS exclusively as lone wolfs often topping the scoreboard
Yeah, that and it not being something that impairs my life much aside from possibly affecting depression stops me from trying to grab a diagnosis. Self-diagnosing is stupid.
this is me
oh God
Sounds like half of poster on /m/
Because it's an anonymous image board where you can come and go as you please without even forming a personal identity
Temple OS
I enjoy Monster Hunter, my favorites being Tri and 4U. I'm also fond of Zelda, especially Wind Waker. I've beaten it more times than I can count and come back to it every few years for another playthrough. My favorite game of all time is probably Super Metroid though.
t. diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic
There's overlap between the two, but an emphasis on the person DISPLAYING their emotions (through whining online, throwing a fit etc) is hallmark of avoidant pd and even dips i to borderline pd.
Schizoids seldom display (intense) emotions.
Personality disorders blend into eachother.
Based esoteric schizoid poster
some of this stuff seems normal
what is autistic thinking
Singleplayer games or multiplayer games where you can blend into the ground and avoid talking too much.
Also I think SPD has quickly becoming meme tier especially here on Yea Forums, like 1% of all people seem to be affected by every other nigger here says he has it yet they all want GFs. Pretty sure there is a ground between normie and full on schizoid that doesn't really have a name except being a creep.
Bottom up thinking, not seeing the big picture. Amphasis on left brain thinking: dominant analytical function.
Being preoccupied with your inner world. Fantasising etc

It makes sense when you think about how well suited this website is for people who are that way
Any actual schizoids that can confirm if this is bullshit?
Mental games
It's straight off wikipedia
It's not all one way or the other. Just features. I have schizoid traits, schizotypal traits, masochistic traits etc and everyone's different. Been tested multiple times. Some of it can be relevant but it's often riddled with complexity factors.
Heard people who claimed to be schizoid say that they don't even think about stuff like relationships and that they just don't want this and people who claim to want this even just in theory can't be schizoid
But reading it of wikipedia can make you feel like you have symptoms that you might not actually have to the extent required for it to be a disorder. I have in bouts felt like I have been depressed, dysthymic, schizoid, avoidant and more. I have given up on self-diagnosis and am gonna let a shrink do it instead.
>Been tested multiple times.
But not diagnosed? I have heard similar stuff like but the picture contradicts it. But maybe contradictory symptoms can still hint towards the same disorder in psychiatry.
>self diagnosing
>ever
It's one thing to realize that you have symptoms of x disease and another to claim that you have that disease
How do you think doctors diagnose? They look at a list of symptoms and if you have enough of them they make the diagnosis.
>averse to sexual innuendo
hahaha fuck no
this is almost completely true of me
It's a meme diagnosis for losers.
Whats a chad diagnosis for winners?

schizoid ain't schizophrenic

Your personal biases cloud your judgement, as well as what you want, on a subconscious level. Doctors also have funny hats that make people listen to them and you dont
Clinical findings: significant base rates for Schizoid, depressive, avoidant, depressive, dependent, masochistic.
Diagnoses was for major depression, panic, dependent traits and schizotypal features.
They got more test they want me to take but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Didn't mean I actually did it, but I waded in and out of feeling "there must be something wrong with me, and it's probably this!". Since I know self-diagnosis is bullshit I always denied myself from actually seeking a professional, but I am fed up with the current situation so that is about to change.
>Inb4 I just get told I'm lazy

Go see a shrink if it bothers you that much
>tfw was officially diagnosed as schizoid years ago and that chart pretty much describes me perfectly
I'd seen the chart long before it was posted on Yea Forums but it still kinda surprises me how much it accurately describes me.
I find myself struggling to figure out what to play anymore. Nowadays I mostly lean toward things that let me make characters that are like what I wish I could be in my fantasies. So typically a pretty girl with a penis who's well endowed in every respect. I've tried transitioning and it helped somewhat but introduced new problems. Probably going to try again if I can figure things out and get a prescription again.
>Go see a shrink if it bothers you that much
That's what I am doing. Waiting times are long though.
what does it mean bros
>I've tried transitioning
Weak but fixable. Not schizo.
Too many crossed out to be schizoid.
I'm pretty androgynous and I've wanted to be a girl for as long as I can remember. It also falls into the erotomania, compulsive perversions, and hungry for love aspects of schizoid personality disorder.
hooray!
>based retard thinks schizos, schizoids, and schizotypals are the same thing
>I've tried transitioning
Mirror-touch synaesthesia.
It's basically a superpower.

How did I do?
>who's well endowed
There's your problem, girls should have small cute penises. Stop fighting against nature.
Just being honest and answering the question in the OP.
depends what the wall people tell me
That conflicts with my feelings of not wanting to be inferior
God damn, this is blowing my mind. All my life I've never gotten myself tested but I always knew something was wrong with me. I always thought maybe I was autistic or a sociopath or maybe I had alexithymia but it actually seems like this is it. I really might be a schizoid.
I hate it.
Anything that isnt MOBAs
Even coop shooters are fine but MOBAs are the fucking worst
I just dont want to feel like I'm bothering people or sinking too much time on something that takes TOO long to feel fun
This is too much, fuck you, I hit almost every single one of those real hard
I'm very thankful schizoid isnt a thing that legitimately destroys or fucks up your life like BPD or actual psychopathy does otherwise I'd be fucked
This, its why I can't function well on any platform that requires a concrete identity. Yea Forums has been far too good to me over the years.
You shouldn't self diagnose and should actually go get tested before you commit your mind to believing you are something.
Girls aren't inferior because they have small penises, they're actually better that way. Basically the smaller and cuter a girl's penis is the more superior she is. It's the opposite of how it is for guys.
Most of the right one is correct. Actually diagnosed schizo here.
But more than anything look at links in your close family. If you have a schizo uncle or grandfather then chances are you're fucked.
Things won't go that bad and you won't lose your head unless you're under absurd amounts of socioeconomic and interpersonal stress though
Senuas sacrifice will make your a schizo
Just get tested user, you might find you just need someone you can talk to and unload shit with. It's a lot better than playing mental illness detective and giving yourself a complex. Once I got a diagnoses things got easier and I learned there's ways to cope with it and exercises that can improve my functioning. Also remember you don't have to settle with a doctor, if they aren't meeting your needs you can change. Hardest part is starting.
Unfortunately I don't see it that way myself, but my fetishes are primarily size based and I like being big because it makes me feel in control and more desirable.
>have NEVER bothered with romance or romantic relationships my entire life
Is this a sign?
>vulnerable to erotomania
it makes so much sense that all you teen nazis are schizophrenic
I do during work because my job is brain dead easy
schizophrenic and schizoid are different
It makes even more sense that most of you closet fascist have no reading comprehension skills.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then. Even if it's not what I believe in I suppose a girl with a large penis is okay too as long as it's really cute.
Thanks for responding, schizo-kun. I hope you are holding up.
Interesting, so schizoidity is highly heritable then?
That probably at least means that I am in the clear. Though I kinda wish I had something wrong with me so I can blame it instead of myself for feeling shit.
who cares lol
nice typing you creepy nonce
i play a lot of singleplayer garrys mod
Thank you, I respect that too.
i've always suspected i had this, this chart confirms it. I also have major depressive disorder with anxiety.
i dont know if it'll make you a schizo but it is a really fun game because it has some of the coolest depictions of mental health that i've ever seen in a video game
CAT'S FOOT, IRON CLAW
Don't self-diagnosis. Go see a professional.
Thanks for the compliment brown-shirt-kun
honestly I kind of hate that game because it depicts it as a magical switch that makes you see cool creepy shit and it's nowhere near as cathartic as that
it's just a slow, constant, neverending internal and external decomposition with highs and lows between lucidity and potential that never stops and just keeps fucking with your ability to do anything and only leaves you to crumble under pressure and unable to really distinguish things for what they are
it's not fun nor interesting
Mechs are cool as fuck, I just can't be bothered to download a series' worth of anime with my terrible internet. Also my vidya backlog is too big to justify getting sidetracked with anime.
they literally cant tell you anything that you cant figure out on your own
I knew I had major depressive disorder for years and only just recently got diagnosed by a psychiatrist, all he did was open the DSM-5 and tell me to read the symptoms of MDD and see if I matched at least 5 of them... nothing I couldnt have done myself.
They are looking for a lot more than what you say user. They are paying attention to your physical and emotional state, your expressions, your body language and your experiences. It's one thing to think you feel a certain way and get stuck in a loop. It's entirely another for a professional to dissect you based on behavior and expression.
i play roblox and i learned how to exploit the common retard who plays it (even the autists who speak in perfect grammar all the time thinking theyre hot shit) to my advantage, its both hilarious and heartbreaking how much these guys lack any prrsonality, theyre all the fucking same
We got a future middle manager right here
You give them a lot more credit than how it actually ends up playing out. Sure they look at those things but again it's nothing special that I can't analyze myself.
Short single player games, and in depth MMO's are the only games I can lose myself in otherwise I get bored and never play the game again, I think anyone should give Senua's Sacrifice a try given how short it is to finish
I have schizoaffective disorder and match some of the stuff, but I don't think schizoaffective and this are the same exactly, probably just some overlap. A lot of those features only tend to come out when I'm depressed, delusional, and apathetic.
Antipsychotics do more harm than good. Do not take your meds.
I knew something was wrong with me. But reading this somewhat confirms it. I'm not afraid anymore.
Schizoids are not the same as schizophrenics
Do you even treat schizoids with anything other than making them cope?
Too late
Ok schizo
Nope. This can't be real.
not gonna make it
Do you ever feel out of body during conversations you don't want to be a part of? When you no longer want to keep talking to this person but for whatever reason you can't get out of it without being rude. It's a surreal feeling and everything you look at seems so much more detailed, almost frightening. Usually doesn't last more than a couple minutes and then I'm back to normal.
Honestly, it's all about getting on the right combination. Some of them can have more annoying side effects than others depending on the person, it took me years to get on a combination that had enough positive effects with little downsides, the only real downsides of my current set is a little bit of weight gain that can be controlled with diet and exercise and sleepiness when I take my nighttime meds.
The key thing I tell everyone who has to take psychiatric drugs whether they're anti-depressants or psychotics, don't expect them to be miracle pills. They're not going to magically make your life better and if you expect that you're just going to be disappointed. What they do is in conjunction with therapy and a good support network they allow you to manage your illness, but you have to put in work on your end, you have to do more positive habits like exercise and socialization. If you do what you've always been doing then nothing is going to change, trust me, I've suffered with schizoaffective disorder for nearly 10 years, I've been through many ups, downs, and mistakes.
Thought schizoaffective was some inbetween between actual schizophrenia and BPD, while schizoids mostly have trouble with interpersional relationships.
Of course, you know more of this than I do by default.
I've just recently learned what schizoids are supposed to be, the list of symptoms reads like something every person in the world could identify with.
Rapelay.
Schizoaffective is defined as having schizophrenia symptoms and a mood disorder such as depressive or bipolar.
Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode.
To add on to that, it's usually not as severe as schizophrenia, I don't have hallucinations at all, but worse than just bipolar.
>the list of symptoms reads like something every person in the world could identify with.
Welcome to psychology. Ever since Freud died it's been a sham science that exists to sell pharmaceuticals. Put your child on our medical-grade meth if he's hyper, goyim!
Yes, it's a burden being polite and not seeking potential conflict. The paying attention to minutiae is actually a coping strategy that's taught in some cognitive behavioral classes. I did the same thing before I had diagnoses of my own.
Classic schitzoposter
Saints Row 2 and 999
that's the point, it's like astrology
Pretty much. There is no treatment or cure other than coping as best you can while accepting yourself for what you are.
Space station 13 ofcourse.
you'll meet other 21st century schizoid men
No, they're things YOU identify with. Everyone is not you.
>Ever since Freud died it's been a sham science
user Freud was the sham science getting coked up out of his mind and giving lectures thinking he was amazing doing it then going off to do more coke and degenerate shit with Crowley. The biggest hurdle modern psychology faces is even entertaining Freud and being obsessed with disabling the frontal lobe. They still want to lobotomize everyone just with drugs these days instead of steel rods.
Zero of Freud's theories have been 'disproven.'
Liberal academia is angry with Freud and has smeared his ideas because they cast doubt on the leftist idea that everyone is the same.

Sounds like a fast track to a psych ward. It's like when they think it's unsafe to keep guns in your house because obviously you're gonna kill yourself instead of just going to the range or shoot trees in your backyard as a leisure activity.
shiiiiiiiiiiiiit
This is kinda BS actually. Everyone has one of this. The people that don't are narcissistic which is a disorder itself.
This is just bullshit psychologists trying to define everyone to having some form of disorder. Like how they define autism now which used to be a cowboy lasso targeted but now literal fishing net.
King of Fighters 98 and Lost Life.
imo psychology is to neuroscience was ancient Greek philosophy was to natural sciences
in the absence of real, quantifiable data, they try to describe something through pure deduction and the rare indirect observation
except philosophers used to be the cream of the crop while most psychologists are washed up substance abusing faggots with inclinations towards esotericism
Nah they just seem interested. I honestly really dislike being asked if I have ideations so it's a way to explain things more fully. Killing yourself just makes the few people who give a shit about you take on your pain. I think it's possible to be miserable from a mental health perspective but to look at life as survival rather than suffering you have to escape.
look at the replies to do you honestly think all those anons are schizoids?
it just means daydreaming
Very possibly.
c'mon, like 70% of population can relate to that table
The issue isn't that you have one of them. It's that you have multiple, or almost all of it. Especially the covert features, if you tick all boxes all you have left to do is cope.
It's not. The strange design of consciousness is, in some cases. We struggle to live just like all other animals, even against our conscious will.
Where do you think you are?
Has one? No shit everyone has a few of them. The point is that the pattern they make points to Schizoid. So if you have a few you probably dont have it but if you have all but three you probably do.
idk
psychology is literally straight up just shamanism repackaged.
Anonymous message boards are schizoid central.
Is that how you defend going off your meds, schitzanon?
If you have some, you just have depression. In some you have some form of autism. This is literally a wide net. Just having some of them does not mean you have this
And this is from wikipedia, thought it was relevant
Frequently, a schizoid individual's social functioning improves, sometimes dramatically, when the individual knows he or she is an anonymous participant in a real-time conversation or correspondence, e.g. in an online chatroom or message board. Indeed, it is often the case the individual's online correspondent will report nothing amiss in the individual's engagement and affect.[citation needed] A 2013 study looking at personality disorders and Internet use found that being online more hours per day predicted signs of SPD. Additionally, SPD correlated with lower phone call use and fewer Facebook friends.[35]

I can guarantee that most people here falling for the self-diagnosis meme are just average antisocial people with lacking self-confidence, so they feel as though some greater thing has to be wrong with them.
>when the napalm fire gets raped by the innocents
do you think people's "social functioning" is good here on Yea Forums?
Wouldn't want anime to cut into your Yea Forums time.
You're not a schizoid, you're an addict.
It's vague, partially bullshit, that just about any loser can relate to, so retards read it and think they're schizoid. Anyone assuming a disorder based on that list is almost certainly mistaken. It doesn't even accurately describe someone with SPD.
All the
>afraid
>feeling inferior
points to avoidant, not schizoid
>few friends
>social circles
are just there in case of outliers. If you have friends, you don't "have" SPD. That's almost certain.
i can guarantee that the whole category was invented so lots of people can feel like it applies to them
the theory is at fault, not the people who fall for it

The "social functioning" is good in terms of what is expected of the board. Acting in ways that are otherwise normal are abnormal here.

nothing else really
same way how everyone here is an INTJ?
Autism is you not being able to function.
Schizophrenia is you being able to function but you have 10 dudes living in your brain that dont and can take the wheel at any second.
For the 50th time schizoid is not schizophrenia
I haven't left my apartment in six days. I'm at the point that I need social interaction to prevent a depression slump but the thought of going out isn't appealing right now, especially since the only way I'll get that interaction is by going to a bar, which I've been trying to cut back on drinking.
Schizoid is not schizophrenia, numbnuts.
alright, alright, i was just trying to be smart
most people who claim to be schizo are just doing it for attention on twitter. see: protomagicalgirl (actually don't see, he's hideous). AKA chuuni syndrome.
Please keep in mind schizoid does not mean schizophrenia, nor even a predisposition for it. It's also not anything like suffering from an schizoaffective disorder. It's also not depression, which usually involves chemical imbalances on the brain.
Yes, I know, it's quite retarded. Keep in mind these anons aren't just going to magically hear voices or have grand delusions, and schizoids have been a part of any functioning society since we've had a significant degree of consciousness and self awareness. It also doesn't mean you should get on a medication schedule since it's literally just a way of being. Either way you don't have much left to do except cope, accept yourself and learn how to live and become the best version of (You) regardless of whatever mental bullshit you may suffer from.
That, and you shouldn't be self diagnosing. Though acknowledging my own mental disorders with time has helped make my life a far, far smoother ride in general, to be honest. It's a stepping stone into self improvement, I say this as a schizoaffective piece of shit that was a NEET until very recently due to it.
>lone wolf

What kind of work did you find, user? Im in the same boat, trying to sort my shit out
Someone on /pol/ did an analysis of all those 'which personality type are you' threads from the archive over the years. It turns out /pol/ is a den of INTPs and INTJs and is the complete opposite of what normies are, literally. There was very little intersection between average normies and /pol/ users at all. We can safely bet that the rest of Yea Forums is the same. Literally a den of introverts, schizoids, autists, the paranoid, the insane and a few eccentric intellectuals too.
Ragnarok Online was the only MMO I made e-friends in. Everything else might as well have been single player.
A reminder that schizophrenia =/= schizoid
A lot of it is very normal to have to some degree, and people here will associate with half the traits and immediately diagnose themselves as schizos because of this image.
Its ironic that this place is so lively and chaotic yet it is comprised of people who would be extremely dull and aloof irl.
I hate talking to people, text is fine but i hate having to rely on others, Feels good to only have to worry about me and not a party.
>A reminder that schizophrenia =/= schizoid
I didn't know this until this thread. I always thought schizoid was just how to refer to schizophrenics like sperg referring to aspergers/retards.
Like I said. Having some does not mean you have a disorder. Well maybe if you prescribed to the idea that everyone is abnormal then yes everyone has a mental disorder. This line of thinking is somehow being accepted by most psychologist now so let's just take some happy pills and be happy.
"schizo" is often used to refer to people with schizophrenia, so it makes sense that the two are confused.
See that post earlier about schizoids seeming normal when under anonymity like a chat room. It's not a coincidence that Yea Forums draws in a certain type of person.
Schizoid doesn't mean schizophrenic. They're different mental disorders.
It's not ironic, it's just known fact that most people who are dull on the outside have a prolific inner life.
Yea Forums is leaking

It used to be 'common knowledge' that schizophrenia was dual personality disorder. Somehow this misconception has gone away. It used to be everywhere about a decade ago.

I eventually gave up and just took somewhere that would take a NEET like me, but I eventually managed to settle for a night guard job after working out daily while on my search. I'm saving up enough until I can at least take the risk to invest in some sort of education, though I'm also thinking of just picking up coding through self study while I work since the whole education and certification process seems open and accepting enough.
And again, refer to my original post. I'm not talking about some, I'm talking about checking most, if not all of them. I'm also against self diagnosis for this very reason, fooling yourself you have some sort of mental illness and using that as an scapegoat for your personal failings is by far one of the most stupid and toxic things you can do with your time.
And trust me, I somewhat share your hatred for modern psychiatry and the disgusting act of profiting off the mental stability of an entire populace. But at least having a vague idea of what your personal flaws may be is not a negative, just NEVER do meds, learn how to cope instead.
THIS IS LITERALLY JUST BEING FUCKING NORMAL
I’ve played a lot of smash recently, it’s fun getting in people’s heads and making them crumble. Every time a faggot starts diving off the stage instead of facing a slow death via Isabelle makes me genuinely laugh. Which is good, because I think it’s a thing I forgot how to do.
>just NEVER do meds, learn how to cope instead.
I thought meds were supposed to be useful when treating "curable" mental ilnessess, like helping a depressed man up so he can deal with the causes of the depression, and were not used to treat personality disorders?
The traits don't even accurately portray a schizoid and people are claiming they are both overt and covert, which makes no sense, considering they're two distinct types of functioning. Like someone combining the "lazy and indolent", the actually crippling avolition from overt to "usually capable of steady work" from the covert. The two exclude eachother. Lists like this are a clear example why normalfags and retards should never ever try to self-diagnose.
>afraid of intimacy
>feeling inferior
>strong need to belong
All point to avoidant, not schizoid.
Even the symptoms that match are described poorly and in a manner where nearly anyone can identify with them.
Stuff like "stoic" should instead describe an inability to feel any strong emotions, especially positive ones. Having few close friends is in itself already a massive outlier, since a typical schizoid will have absolutely no friends at all and instead it should describe the complete inability to form any proper bonds with other people. Being impervious to others emotions is a lack of affective empathy, "preferring" solitary activities is a massive understatement.
The entire list is garbage and Gosling's reaction in the back perfectly encapsulates how a schizoid would NOT react.
Listen up brothers, as many of you could tell being an Schizoid is a very, very real concept, but it does not make you a cripple or a lesser human being. You more than likely live in an Extravert society where Introversion is frowned upon, but being an Extravert or an Introvert is not a bad thing; both have their ups and downs and you can live a good life as either or them. One of the reasons Yea Forums is so fascinated with Japanese culture its because in Japan being an Extravert is frowned upon unlike in the west and in Japanese culture people keep their shit to themselves. Even if you are an Introvert you can learn to socialize because socializing is a SKILL, and just like any skill it just takes time and dedication to train and improve on, but of course us Introverts get tired easily with socialization and usually have a harder time with it, but its not impossible to improve on that.
If you want a better guide in the subject this is a good read: watchwordtest.com
That being said do not fall under a label. This is just to better know yourself, learn your weaknesses and improve on, not to cry over and whine like the modern pathetic snowflakes you see around you.
The power is yours.
>I'm talking about checking most
If you checked most, you have a bigger problem than being a schizoid. You literally have multiple disorders and will literally need to be in a facility.
>a vague idea of what your personal flaws may be is not a negative,
Literally everyone should do this, mental illness or not. It's called self-reflection.
CONFUSION
Introversion and schizoid PD are two entirely different things. The former's just a normal, functional method of interacting, while the latter actually requires one to fulfill the basic traits of a disorder, marked dysfunctioning or -distress.
In any serious schizoid case you're pretty much looking at the negative symptoms of schizophrenia in how disabling they are to the individual. No amount of "bruh just learn to socialize" will fix someone's apathy, anhedonia and avolition.
>I'm talking about checking most, if not all of them
Then you're incapable of honest introspection. How do you check contradictory traits like being withdrawn and aloof, as well as being deeply curious about others and hungry for love? Lazy and indolent, but you're usually capable of steady work?
>overt and covert features
retard
I'll use a food analogy because you're retarded:
You can crave a cake and eat a salad. That's not a contradiction
Not him but you can be "hungry for love" while being deeply withdrawn, and finish steady work out of a sense of duty while hating every single moment of it.
>be social fool who yearns for things he struggles to attain
>difficulty to work on anything you're not 100% on board with, but when you do find something like that you enter the zone
IYou're just being pedantic now.
I agree the list is flawed for a variety of reasons, but if you're a depersonalized, apathetic and asexual dude with no desire to strive towards new goals and a fucked up set of moral and interpersonal values then chances are you need help regardless.
>No amount of "bruh just learn to socialize" will fix someone's apathy, anhedonia and avolition.
That's an impairment that doesn't entirely prevent you from being a somewhat functional member of society regardless, and whether you like it or not as soon as you go hungry and you have no way to take care of yourself you'll learn the ropes regardless.
You don't live just out of will alone, and suicide requires more than the realization that you outright fucking instinctively hate any sort of short and long term socialization. If things were as simple as "lolwelp you're a schizo bro congrats now you can be a NEET for your entire life" existence wouldn't be so outright painful. You're not going to have a magically positive outlook on modern life just because congrats dude u learnt how to socialize, nor will it automatically make your miserable existence any less stressful, but it's just a part of living you have to learn to accept. If you've tried real suicide before for similar reasons and you're still here today then sorry, but just fucking cope, that's all you have left.
Yes, they're two entirely different types of schizoid. Coverts are ones who put on a mask, a show, to the world that pretends they've got all the normal functions going on on the inside while overts don't. You can't both portray as a schizoid to the world and not, at the same time.
>You can crave a cake and eat a salad. That's not a contradiction
You can't be aloof & withdrawn while intensely needy and hungry for love. That intense neediness contradicts aloofness. Especially so if we're talking about actual schizoid withdrawal and emotional bluntness.
>Not him but you can be "hungry for love" while being deeply withdrawn
Yeah, but you can't be aloof and withdrawn while being the opposite. At the very fucking least don't assume or claim you're schizoid if your personality contradicts not only itself, but everything about the disorder.
>and finish steady work out of a sense of duty while hating every single moment of it.
Then you're not lazy and indolent, you're conscientous, pretty much the opposite.
>be social fool who yearns for things he struggles to attain
Not aloof then.
>difficulty to work on anything you're not 100% on board with, but when you do find something like that you enter the zone
Not being lazy and indolent then.
It always amazes me how retards can write so much and say so little with zero understanding.

>No amount of "bruh just learn to socialize" will fix someone's apathy, anhedonia and avolition.
You reach apathy when you have nothing to care about. Once you go out of your way to find something meaningful to be invested with apathy usually goes away. I used to be extremely apathetic about socializing, but once I got invested such apathy went away. Unless you have down syndrome socializing isn't hard. Of course I needed to be interested in socializing to begin with, nobody could ever force me, but I made a choice, improved upon it and lived with it instead of going "muh anxiety, muh depresshon" like faggots do. I make sure to spend time alone to recharge myself, but people would never be able to tell I am an introvert unless I let them know, in fact they become shocked when I tell them that I deem myself an emotionless introvert.
As much as I'd love to keep our chat going on I need to go out for today to practice what I preach. This will be my last reply ITT. Have a good day.

>That's an impairment that doesn't entirely prevent you from being a somewhat functional member of society regardless
Yes it does.
>and whether you like it or not as soon as you go hungry and you have no way to take care of yourself you'll learn the ropes regardless.
No it doesn't. It's why a very large part of the homeless population are diagnosable with a cluster A personality disorder, or are schizophrenic. The shared negative symptoms are absolutely a disability that keeps someone from attaining employment.
>You don't live just out of will alone
Yes, you absolutely do. Your will is THE thing that drives you to doing anything at all. Without a will there is no action at all, save for reflexive ones.
>If things were as simple as "lolwelp you're a schizo bro congrats now you can be a NEET for your entire life" existence wouldn't be so outright painful.
Except you absolutely can NEET up for the rest of your life if you get on disability.
>You're not going to have a magically positive outlook on modern life just because congrats dude u learnt how to socialize, nor will it automatically make your miserable existence any less stressful, but it's just a part of living you have to learn to accept
Nope. Nothing you have to do in life but die. Coping does not mean trying to become a productive member of society, it's about trying to live an actually good life despite whatever issues you have.
> If you've tried real suicide before for similar reasons and you're still here today then sorry, but just fucking cope, that's all you have left.
Suicide isn't exactly a common thing for schizoids, considering the internal existence and apathy. Suicidal ideation and fantasies of death are very common, but actually taking your own life requires intense emotions for the most part, which schizoids don't have available.
>You reach apathy when you have nothing to care about. Once you go out of your way to find something meaningful to be invested with apathy usually goes away.
Not when it's a part of a disorder that's likely caused by fucked up dopamine transmitters in your brain. If your brain is physically incapable of producing the stimulation that offers motivation, then there is no real way out of the apathy it causes.
>I used to be extremely apathetic about socializing, but once I got invested such apathy went away. Unless you have down syndrome socializing isn't hard. Of course I needed to be interested in socializing to begin with, nobody could ever force me, but I made a choice, improved upon it and lived with it instead of going "muh anxiety, muh depresshon" like faggots do.

Am I replying to pasta?
How did schizoidism pass on?
You would imagine that slowly but surely it would've been bred put of our genes.
As i'm lretty sure the biggest schizoids didn't have relationships/children
>being an incel is normal
It tends to cluster with intelligence. So, the branches of the family that manifest as schizoid wither and die, but the other branches are more successful for carrying the gene(s) responsible.
Like most psychology problems, it's a combination of certain genes and certain upbringing events, so people with schizoid genes that don't express those psychological problems or hide them well enough continue to coom into women

They can overlap you know. I get friends out of desperation, and once I have it I'd really don't give a shit about their feelings and abandon them. Been at it 4 times now.

I think we're onto something.
Why would a schizoid have a strong need to belong? I certainly don't.
>They can overlap you know.
Because the diagnostics criteria are shit and don't accurately match the actual characteristics. Many of the traits between avoidant and schizoid are entirely contradictory.
>I get friends out of desperation,
What desperation? How do you feel lonely? Why do you even think people have something to fill that with?
Wouldn't. That list is complete horseshit.

Avoidant.

I'll be the first one to admit I am not the wisest man. I'm just talking out of my ass from personal experience.
>Yes it does.
Up to a certain degree.
>No it doesn't.
Yes it does. Hunger is reflective. If you live in a place where you can get by even as you're jobless and homeless you will never be forced to improve your situation. Not everyone is that lucky and when faced with the real, tangible fear of death after two or three days of starvation you'll gamble for anything possible.
You can live in terrible conditions if you still feel safe and well fed. When that fragile illusion breaks you, too, break alongside it.
>save for reflexive ones.
What do you think pain, hunger and thirst are, retard?
>but actually taking your own life requires intense emotions for the most part
So you're talking clinically about this without even having any second hand experience on what living as a schizoid actually is. Cool. And trust me, I hate to play this card, but when you're the living example of someone fooled by simulacra and your perception on reality is so fucking twisted your entire views even on arguments you have only clinical knowledge on are based entirely under these assumptions I just don't see what else to do.
I feel lonely because I just want someone to talk with. Period. I pretty much never opened up to anyone nor do I want to, ever. Not even my parents.
The worst, most dehumanizing thing is knowing that if I didn't have a computer to distract myself with, I'd end up just coming home from work and staring at the wall. For hours. And that would be a marginally acceptable way to spend my time.
I've done it before, when I was at my lowest and least functional. It made me feel so incredibly empty, but it was cathartic, in a numbing sort of way. Why bother putting up the pretense of trying to entertain myself if it's obvious I can't be entertained, after all? Just drool at the wall like the empty husk I am...
What's the pic then? Avoidant? That pic is pretty much 90% me and I really want to identify myself more, user.
>autistic thinking
bottom up is the biggest picture of all depending on how far you can go from there
>Hunger is reflective.
If someone shoves food into your mouth, maybe.
>If you live in a place where you can get by even as you're jobless and homeless you will never be forced to improve your situation.
Even if you're "forced" doesn't mean you have the ability to do so. It's why there's homeless people freezing to death every winter. It's called disability for a reason.
>Not everyone is that lucky and when faced with the real, tangible fear of death
And that's the will to live. Without it you'd have no problem starving to death. The will is still the thing driving the individual.
>after two or three days of starvation you'll gamble for anything possible.
Just go dig in some trashcans. Bakeries and restaurants throw out a shitload of entirely edible food. I've eaten it, it's not a problem.
>You can live in terrible conditions if you still feel safe and well fed. When that fragile illusion breaks you, too, break alongside it.
That only applies if you're living in that fragile illusion in the first place. Even being safe doesn't mean feeling safe.
>What do you think pain, hunger and thirst are, retard?
Are you making the claim that getting up to sate your hunger is a reflex?
>So you're talking clinically about this without even having any second hand experience on what living as a schizoid actually is.
What do you mean by this?
>Cool. And trust me, I hate to play this card, but when you're the living example of someone fooled by simulacra and your perception on reality is so fucking twisted your entire views even on arguments you have only clinical knowledge on are based entirely under these assumptions I just don't see what else to do.
Is this the "I'm a schizoid so I know argument". I'm not quite following.
The picture seems like a mix of avoidant and an entirely normal introspective personality. The hunger for love, but with a fear of intimacy and inability to attain closeness is very much avoidant. It's what defines the disorder.
This is literally me, also immune to baseless praise, insults and generally anything that would affect a normal person emotionally regarding other people around them. My parents died, felt literally nothing. I feel like the only thing that keeps me from going full psychopathy is a strict self-enforced moral code although I won't ever restrict my own thoughts. If thoughts of committing a crime were a crime, I would be guilty of virtually everything. Everything from jaywalking to torturing babies for Moloch.
We generally don't give a fuck about official diagnosis whatsoever or view the condition as negative
omnislashing is peak schizoid.
fucking retards
The funny thing is, for an actual schizoid the diagnosis is pretty meaningless. Any introspection and reading on the subject will leave the schizoid with a vastly deeper understanding of the disorder and himself than 99% of medical professionals. The most people get taught on it is generally just the basics.

You learn the competencies. The reason homeless people freeze to death isn't because they're irrelevant and apathetic to the cold, it's because they have no actual knowledge on how to deal with the situation due to a number of factors that might commonly go hand in hand with their condition, but aren't entirely reflective of it.
There's a huge difference between physiological factors forcing you to take action out of reflex alone and actually having a will to live. Your conscious will and your physical reactions are not in perfect harmony. You don't live just because you will it, you do it because as long as you draw breath you're chemically wired to strive towards survival, that's a natural part of being a living being.
>That only applies if you're living in that fragile illusion in the first place
You DO live in the fragile illusion that is society. You abide by its rules, even if you know these social constructs are nothing but meaningless bullshit pretending order.
>Are you making the claim that getting up to sate your hunger is a reflex?
Yes. Have you ever gone thirsty in your life?
>Is this the "I'm a schizoid so I know argument". I'm not quite following.
A terrible attempt at it. I actually apologize for that, I just meant to say that if you don't know the divide between mind and body is greater than what you seem to think it is.
And rather than just argue constantly and endlessly about what constitutes a hardcore schizoid in the first place I'll just get out of this stupid conversation by saying it's literally a spectrum.
I am treated and medicated for Schizophrenia by my psychiatrist but I don’t think I have it and they misdiagnosed me.
Said like a true skitzo
Oof
Why oof?
hey retard try actually making an argument instead of just randomly typing out the first thing that pops into your head
the original objection was that you can't "just learn to socialize" due to the condition. you haven't even said a single fucking word yet to counter it.

Not him but yes. Other than benzos anti-psychotics are the worst thing you can ever take. I took risperdal as a teenager because chronically withdrawing from adderall made them think I was bipolar. No, I was just in a never ending cycle of amphetamine withdrawal.
diagnosed here. i like pvp games with at least some customization/variety and depth.
Yeah I hate taking them because it makes you feel like your brain was hit head on by a truck and it knocks you out then you’re numb and groggy all the next day.
Idk but what i can say for a fact is that you are a fucking idiot for assuming that the concept of this subject is anything but relating to the matter of the atoms that flow through the galaxy of this universe that we all have to share with your moronic stupidity. In other news, did you know that in one of the smash threads. There was an easter egg that was exposed in the game files regarding the first character but you have to know the source code to crack it by owning the original 64 cartridge version. Which isn't easy as it is watching Die Hard on how unrealistic the movie portrays guns and how running on glass goes about especially when you go jumping from high altitude but did you also know that there was a sneak peak code word in the movie war games that if you looked very closely at the monitor when the defcon hit the final level and the nukes on screen was going crazy you would see that, there in the corner of the movie that you lost the game.
>The reason homeless people freeze to death isn't because they're irrelevant and apathetic to the cold
But apathetic instead for their life and welfare, anhedonic and avolitionic to the point where the work required to fix their life is beyond them, often addicts a well, since the anhedonia doesn't apply to drugs.
>it's because they have no actual knowledge on how to deal with the situation due to a number of factors that might commonly go hand in hand with their condition, but aren't entirely reflective of it.
That is a very, very bold claim. Why would the homeless be so stupid they can't go to a library or a homeless shelter and figure out what programs and aid there is available? Why would they not easily find the knowledge? Many, many people become homeless and get away from the life, because it's very much attainable if you just have the will.
>You DO live in the fragile illusion that is society.
It's only an illusion for you if you believe in it.
>You abide by its rules
I break a bunch of them daily so that doesn't really apply wholly to me. The rest is mostly just a consideration of value vs cost. Is pretending easier than dealing with the consequences?
>even if you know these social constructs are nothing but meaningless bullshit pretending order.
Which is why they have no meaning for me and all is a consideration of whether or not the act is better than dealing with the likely violent consequences.
>Yes. Have you ever gone thirsty in your life?
Yes, that's not a reflex. You might want to look up the definition.
>it's literally a spectrum.
It is, which is why in the post that started this I wrote:
>In any serious schizoid case you're pretty much looking at the negative symptoms of schizophrenia in how disabling they are
