I haven’t been diagnosed but I’m pretty sure I have schizoid, but it’s like schizoid with ASPD traits, so do you know if it’s possible to lack remorse also when having schizoid???

sure why not theyre not mutually exclusive. the human brain is extremely complicated anyway

So my psychiatrist diagnosed me with Szpd, then changed her mind as we’ve talked. I’m very covert. No one I know thinks I’m actually that until she and I talked. However it was only because I told her of my symptoms. Now, she doesn’t think I have it because I act “normally” and don’t show signs of szpd. What should I do?

she cant read your mind so you need to tell her your experience with the disorder and being covert and all and ask her to reconsider or challenge her on what exactly made her change her mind. she can only know what you communicate with her

is it possible for someone with szpd to experience real interest (close to obsession) for something/someone? could be a book, film, series, physical activity, someone they know, a historical figure, an actor etc.

yes symptoms of disorders can and will fluctuate depending on a certain situation or just in general. nothing is stagnant. also szpd isnt necessarily complete lack of interest, emotions, etc., it can just be a general reduced interest, emotions, etc.

ru lost?

nah, are you?

I have szpd and just started dating a bpd girl. Everything's well so far but it's only been 3 months so.. idk man. we're taking it veeeery slow though, like once a week meetups. any experience with this kind of r/s?

both my exes are borderline and my current partner is as well and tbh just communication is best. 

make sure they understand your schizoid traits and that you understand their borderline traits but also that symptoms arent an end all be all and you can work together to do what you need to do for the sake of the relationship. what i mean by that is maybe youre distant and its hard for you to support someone emotionally and thats fine but putting the effort in to do what you can despite your first instinct/initial response to things is really really important. but its also important for your partner to understand your limitations and to not expect what you absolutely cannot/are unable to give (for example maybe pure, genuine empathy). all that is basically just what i said originally lmao make sure yall are communicating and being honest with each other and you should be fine honestly. good luck and im glad things are going well so far!

tszpdfw you tell your therapist that you're gonna kill yourself in a few months and he bursts out laughing bc of how flippantly you say it. flat affect man oh man

[thatschizoidfeel]

Is it possible to have both BPD and schizoid?

yeah

[thatschizoidfeel]

since madd isnt a recognized disorder theres no statistics on it, but being that the schizoid criteria emphasizes a preoccupation with fantasy, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a connection between the two. especially since, generally speaking, schizoids live very isolated & unexciting lives out in the real world. it would make sense for them to "make up for it" in a sense through daydreaming, and that could easily become maladaptive to their functioning.

there ya go

[thatschizoidfeel]

Do you know of any connection between maladaptive daydreaming and schizoid?

i dont. followers?

what is frustrating about developing szpd when you're 15/16 (currently 20) is that it seems so random about out of the blue, especially when you were the most outgoing, happiest, extraverted child to have ever walked the planet, then all of a sudden you have a fundamental aspect of your personality die and four years later of this persistent feeling you find out you're schizoid... not sure what this is. i suppose i'm irritated with my shit brain is all.

SZPD/BPD comorbid here! Yes, my current FP is actually someone with some schizoid traits (not a PD though), primarily that he’s somewhat aloof. I like that we don’t have any kind of emotional obligation to each other, all we do is cuddle/are physically intimate and fulfill the physical desires of human contact, whilst remaining apart emotionally. Totally possible! :)

there ya go

[thatschizoidfeel]

tsfw when you have to interact with people because they screwed things up for you because you didn't care and now you have to pretend to care because you have to fix how they put you in more social settings why

[thatschizoidfeel]

could it possibly be a comorbid szpd/bpd thing for all of the fps you ever have to be really emotionally cold ?? like theyre ppl YOU KNOW who will never give you affection or really care about you much?? and you're really only ever attracted to those kinds of ppl bc of that?? idk maybe its bc if they actually showed you any kind of affection or love or whatever you'd be immediately repulsed and annoyed by them?? idk do you think this theory could possibly be true for a lot of ppl?

sounds probable. anyone wanna respond to this?

[chinon]

szpd blogs like/rb this please im tryna compile a list for someone and i dont wanna go through my whole following list lmao

[thatschizoidfeel]

tszpdfw it's not even like you're completely against the idea of having friends or doing anything. you're just constantly indifferent. this person wants to befriend me? whatever. this person no longer wants to be friends? cool. everything is neutral.

[thatschizoidfeel]

"i love you" "i miss you" - they're just words you say for the sake of it without any value or meaning but then again i barely say it...

[thatschizoidfeel]

I've pulled away again (sounding like an addict^^). Can't count the number of people I've got to know and then avoided anymore. When it gets too close, i feel trapped. Omg, guy, just go away and leave me alone.
