you have to spend a day with your favorite SCP character (can be a worker, a d-class, a scp, genuinely anything as long as its from the SCP world) what're you guys doing? what do you think will happen? will you get killed? contained? so on so on.
TikTok is being a BITCH and isn't letting me upload this video so I'm posting it here y'all would most likely appreciate the sibling propaganda more anyway 💔💔
“What Gilten did to Shu wasn’t that bad + they had the same goals” I am going to maim you
if I see one more "why age verification is bad" post that doesn't even bother to mention that locking young people out of huge sections of the public sphere - literally the stated goal and primary impact of this shit - is wrong in and of itself I will simply start hitting people with bricks

the thing about het romances is most of them are sexist so even tho i’m meant to root for them ill spend half of it thinking he shouldn’t talk to her like that
i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.
shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it
i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me
Caught myself spiraling and then remembered it's just my body not wanting to exist in these temperatures
Immediate family members need to mind their business more. I’m not telling you anything cause I don’t want to. Hope that helps.
(Disclaimer: I am NOT SzPD, but instead a visitor from Cluster B lol)
I was wondering how would I would go about writing a character with SzPD? I’ve looked and there doesn’t seem to much information beyond the symptoms, but I want to write something more complex than that. What should I avoid, and what should I write instead?
How would you all like to see SzPD represented in media?
sorry for the delay, hopefully someone in the notes can give advice.
I'd say avoid making them completely asocial. A lot of schizoids do enjoy some close relationships, like having specific trustworthy friends. They also tend to be nonconfrontational, so a scenario could be: There's some kind of fight between the schizoid and somebody else, and instead of confronting the issue, the schizoid emotionally (and/or physically) disconnects from it. It's common for schizoids to lack hobbies, goals, and interests in general. Maybe they simply "watch life go by".
I don't speak for every schizoid and I'm comorbid with quite a few other things that might impact my perception of SzPD, so feel free to add on to this.
Reading posts from "schizoidvision" could help you a lot, you could also read the SzPD diagnostic criteria from "shitborderlinesdo". Of course it'd be a more clinical and rigid view of SzPD but it could help nonetheless. (In quotation marks are their usernames, I just don't want to tag them)
I completely agree with this person.
Not every schizoid is the same, also. For example, I am aromantic-asexual and aplatonic. But I am capable of developing familial emotions for people after a (considerable) amount of time. Some schizoids may differ, such as being capable of platonic but not the others, or some other nuanced scenario.
Some schizoids simply are just as asocial as the stereotypes, but that doesn't mean they're devoid of any feeling or interest. The "lack of emotion" or "mechanical behaviors" commonly stereotyped with schizoids is generally due to emotional dissociation--its a defensive mechanism formed from trauma.
As for another take on the interests, while it is true that many schizoids lack hobbies completely, that's not always the case. For example, I have always had an interest in writing since a very young age. Most of my other interests can either be incredibly short lived/fleeting, or permanently etched into my internal phantasy world. But also, I have pretty bad writers block problems.
Many schizoids have friends, even if they're aplatonic or do not desire closeness. Not all, but enough. It would also be a good idea to be familiar with our terms and coined terminology. For example, a "safety person," "interest person," and "stock person" are common schizoids terms used on tumblr and maybe other places (I wouldnt know, I dont have other social media). Not everyone uses them, but they can provide context on how we see relationships.
I heavily agree on the /schizoidvision blog, I am not familiar with the other one, and I'm going to go ahead and suggest /schizoid-hikikomori. I also suggest reading /schizoid-hikikomori's pinned essay that he wrote (though, be warned, his blog occasionally contains graphic imagery) along with the books he references in the essay.
(Note: replace the / with an @)
"The Divided Self" by RD Laing is a very popular and commonly referenced book written by a psychologist that explains schizoid personality. A personal recommendation is "The Empty Core" by Jeffery Seinfeld.
It is also important to note that schizoid personality is inherently the severation between the external and internal world. So whilst schizoids may be heavily disconnected from the external world through dissociation, it is commonly observed by psychologists that we have a rich inner world with a highly active imagination. We may not desire external relationships, but many of us do phantasize about fake ones in our own minds.
Why? Because self-control and autonomy are extremely important to us. Schizoids tend to especially avoid relationships that make us feel like we lack either or both. Oh, and as an off handed comment, I notice we get irritated easily (judging by schizoid vents that I read).
It would also be a good idea to look at the differences between covert SZPD and overt. Personally, I'm covert, so I am really good at masking and mimicry. Overts may have a more difficult time and are more susceptible to the "flat affect."
As final advice... just find schizoid blogs and look at their thoughts and what they're interested in, and how they view things along with their online behavior. I know one schizoid with a bug hyperfixation, one dude is super into philosophy, and another with a peculiar hyperfixation on Mario. Then there's me, the loser that likes Genshin Impact.
We're not too hard to find if you look in the right places. Oh, and if you want to see external behaviors, you could probably find youtube channels of schizoids talking about their experiences. They're difficult to find, but I promise you, they're there.
this is a really fantastic breakdown with a concise length. Both responses are far more intelligent and insightful than mine will be lol. But i'm going to drop my 1 cent in anyway
Schizoid Education on youtube (edit: that is @ schizoidvision here lol, I didn't realize) talks heavily about Object Relations Theory, which is a psychological theory abt how we humans develop a sense of self in infancy. Relevant to how personality disorders form too.
Admittedly I only lightly skim that stuff and don't really study the psych material on our disorder, but from my impression so far It's especially helpful with understanding the nuance to what traumas cause ur brain to go for a schizoid adaptation over anything else. Because some schizoids may still tell you they never experienced a major trauma in their childhood or young adult years, and that they were just born this way. Kind of true, because the core wound can occur from simply failing to properly attach to your mother as an infant. Allegedly. Not an expert.
But in general I think a widely overarching theme of schizoid traumas is focused on "I cant rely on anyone (to meet my needs)" and not exactly "other people are dangerous." For example, the difference in adaptations between a schizoid and maybe a borderline, when dealing with an unpredictable parent- the schizoid learns to detach to prevent being hurt (emotionally or otherwise), while the borderline survival tactic is shifting completely to keep up with the parent's changing moods. When you simply stop caring, and things do not matter to you, how could another person hurt your feelings? Although, in my experience, this also makes us terrible at setting any boundaries or voicing opinions. We'd rather avoid conflict by never starting any at all, and just leaving if someone steps over an invisible line instead of arguing.
But obviously, write your character with whatever traumas you very well please lol. It may be interesting to explore how they process other things, because emotional disconnect/dissociation can have you thinking "I dont care about that, its just life, im not sad" and confused asf when you ever end up crying. Your body has some feeling, but your brain isn't very interested in actually.. experiencing it?
Obligatory apology if anything i've written is inaccurate or overly generalizing. Everypony is different and PDs are just handy frameworks for pointing out similar ways that we think and behave, not ultimate determinations on how someone will act in their own unique situation.
Schizoid Angst is another youtuber who talks extensively abt the disorder. He's probably the most well known? Maybe im just algorithm biased in saying that. But anyway, he gives a lot of personal experiences as well as Q&As, interviews, stuff like that, it's just a lot longer form content that can take a while to sit through.
additional edit bc i cant shut up: i think an interesting symptom to explore in writing would be the "idiosyncratic beliefs" that make us "susceptible to odd crimes" lol. A lot of us end up gravitating to strange and highly individual worldviews/philosophies, and my thought is this happens because of how we're able to stay emotionally detached from heavy issues or emotionally-enforced social standards and laws. We end up trying to objectively observe a lot of different ways of thinking, and can wind up taking on a very eclectic mix of the ones that appeal to us most. Some of us are likely to have personal beliefs or morals that are atypical or not socially accepted. That doesn't translate automatically to "poor morals" just... unique morals. Like someone who strongly disagrees with the death penalty, but for some other convoluted reason than strictly valuing life. Maybe consider the kind of influences your character would be exposed to and if they would choose to buy into all of them
I can't agree more with being bad at setting boundaries, nonconfrontationalism, and not being able to rely on others.
To me, it comes down to a lack of safety.
If you are shown, repeatedly, that having needs is unsafe, it's too much, it's unreasonable. That being open with others is just showing your stomach to a bloodthirsty wolf. That others knowing you, and knowing about you, weights you down, suffocates you.
Of course you're not going to be a very social person. Of course you're not going to be very trusting and very forthcoming.
fascinated by jeff the killer tbh. everyone in that creepypasta has generic white usamerican names (jeff, keith, barbara, billy, etc.) except for jeff the killer's doe eyed little brother liu. why is he liu. is liu chinese? it's okay if he's chinese. is jeff also chinese? has jeff the killer been chinese this whole time? am I a bad person?
eyes emoji was the perfect invention for nosy people. like 👀 whats going on over here 👀👀 i just wanna know #LetMeKnow 👀👀👀
