Im a 20 year old male, not a virgin but never really was able to keep a longterm relationship because I lack compassion and am too arrogant to apologize if I was being a dick. In my childhood/teenagehood I shifted from spending time with friends to spending most of the time alone and currently I'm in the phase where I just wanna be by myself again, and have been for over a year. I never really had more than about 1 or 2 close friends and I do move around a lot so I dont really maintain contact except on the internet. I got no problem making new friends as I am really sociable with the right people who can tolerate me being an utter dick to other people who are better off being somewhere else besides civilization. And they themselves must not be too sensitive to being mocked when they f--- up. Schizoid almost perfectly describes me, but i'm confused about the no sex drive part. Which brings me to my main question and reason for bothering with this board: I do have a sex drive, but I dont try to get some pussy, AT ALL. I'm hot, and have a good body but having no sex for awhile doesnt really bother me like some people I know. Fapping with some good lubricant keeps me occupied for the most part. So do I really have schizoid personality disorder? I dont really care, but cant help admit that I'm curious. The test results are accurate I guess, but I dunno why it said i'm moderately schizotypal. I am not weird, superstitious or nothing like that, but i guess its due to answering yes to the question asking if I believe i can sense someones presence. I truly can, not thru telepathy or anything lame like that but if their shadow just passes thru the corner of my eye or even if their footsteps are faint I can make it out. I got a sharp sense of detail in some situations, such as these. So someone here assure me that im not schizotypal because so far, being referred to that is the only thing that bothers me. I am not f---ing schizotypal and i'd punch anyone out who'd call me that. |

| Hey there's nothing wrong with superstition. For the most part anyway. By the sounds of it you're not schizotypal, but your results probably say moderate due to the similarity of most symptoms between schizotypal and schizoid. I'm not an expert of course but no you are not schizotypal :) | |

Ok nvm there were only 3 stories, but 12 people who conform to them. All of them completely lacked content and was a total waste of my 5 minutes. The first two merely said "I have trouble with relationships and sometimes I feel lonely sometimes I dont, i think im schizoid." And the third longer one I dont really know what to make of it. A guy claims to be schizoid and then contradicts almost every symptom saying he is able to hold a relationship for 14 years, has a daughter and in general has friends and has no problems working with people. This doesn't tell me jack s---. I'm now confused more than ever. |

Are you emotionless quite a lot, especially to other people? Prefer to do solitary activities, than with friends? Few of said friends? Don't enjoy many activities? Yes to, i'd say 2-3 of these, then you've a good chance of being schizoid. |

Yes to all, but not sure about the emotionless part. First off, what exactly does emotionally cold mean? Is it really the same as emotionless? |

Well, I always hide my emotions because I feel the need to appear tough wherever I go. And because I hate getting attached/affected I managed to screw up my relationship with my last girlfriend who I saved from her previous abusive boyfriend (a 19 year old that was dating a 14 year old, that should tell you plenty about him) and was there for her when she needed someone the most. Shes the first and only person I ever expressed genuine feelings for. However, all the good things I've done for her have been muted when I decided to dump her for extremely selfish reasons. To this day I regret it, but now I think that it wouldn't last that long anyway once she learned what I'm really like so maybe it was better to end it early. I dont know man, I'm a f---ing dumbass. So yeah, I have emotions but I guess I just hate expressing them. Does this fit? |
