Schizoid personality disorder falls under cluster A of the personality disorders. Cluster A disorders can be described as eccentric or odd. These three individuals are Schizoid (Schizotypal), Paranoid (Paranoid) and Schizotypal (Schizotypal).
The following defines the personality of a Schizoid:
It is a pattern of a resolute withdrawal from social relationships and a limited range of emotion expression in interpersonal settings. This can be seen in early adulthood, and it can also occur in many contexts as indicated by four (or even more) of these:
1. Close relationships are not something that I enjoy, even if they are part of a family.
2. Nearly always, they choose solitary activities.
3. Does not have any interest in sexual encounters with other people.
4. Enjoys very few, if any, activities.
5. Lacks close friends and confidants beyond first-degree relatives.
6. Appears indifferent to criticism or praise from others.
7. Flattened affectivity, emotional coldness, or detachedness.
Because of your interactions with others, the social impact of this personality could cause occupational problems. Schizoid personalities are best suited to jobs that allow them to work independently with little supervision. You don’t need to work with the team. Family members might reject you because of your insolence in relationships.
Autism spectrum disorder can sometimes look very similar to schizoid personality. Autism spectrum disorder refers to a brain disorder that causes delays in brain development, starting in childhood. This can lead to difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behavior. People with autism spectrum often have impaired sensory processing. They may also be hypersensitive to certain sounds and textures. This is a spectrum disease because it affects the ability to function in a range of levels.
