In seeking to eliminate his feelings, the schizoid is actively cultivating death within life. Uninvolved with their emotions, robot-like, and objective, the schizoid loses many of his human attributes and begins to feel cold, dry, dead, impotent, empty, worthless, and desolated. Yet ironically, it is the experience of feeling dead that reveals the schizoid’s underlying humanity.

R.D. Laing (1960)
