I just found out that I am a Schizoid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder
All of the diagnostic criteria describe me almost perfectly.
1. Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
Im not really close with any of my relatives beyond my immediate family. But even then, Now that I moved to a different state I have barely any contact with them (not even a phone call per week usually). I dont get homesick at all. I do enjoy myself when I visit them though... but I only visit if they ask me to. I also only have a few friends and no real want to go out of my way to make more.
2. Almost always chooses solitary activities
If one of my friends asks me to go somewhere with them, I usually go. But I have never taken the initiative to make plans, and have only gone along with someone elses plans. I am perfectly content (and often happy) to do things alone.
3. Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
I suppose if some insanely hot woman walked up to me, got naked, and asked me to f her, then I would do so gladly... but otherwise im just not interested. I have never had a girl friend and never had sex... and I dont feel bad/sad/depressed about it. Im not happy about it, im not sad about it... im utterly indifferent about it. Ive posted here before stating that I dont really have any sexual desire.
4. Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
I like video games, movies, and doing 3D art. Thats it. I a long time ago that very little makes me actually happy.
5. Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
Like I said before, I have a few good friends, and my immediate family and thats it.
6. Indifference to either praise or criticism.
Neither of these change my mood. People could say I did was awesome, the best thing they've ever seen, and it wouldnt change how I felt about it. Same for criticism. Someone could yell bad things about me to my face and I wouldnt care. People can say bad things about my artwork, and I would just listen and not get angry or sad or anything at all (although I would try to improve on those areas).
7. shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affectivity
I am always content... always indifferent. I rarely feel actually sad, depressed or emotional in anyway. Even when I was really young, when a cousin I was fairly close to died from cancer I didnt feel sad. I would rather he didnt die, but he did, and thats that. Even in happy times though, I dont usually get as happy as most people do.
So why post this? Im sure you guys didnt really care about any of that, but im curious as to what you guys think about people with these traits.
