Yurrrrrrrrrr
Influenced by the Chris Rock thread about NLVD…just thought I should shed light on a rare personality disorder that most people haven’t heard of.
How to define schizoid personality disorder? It’s like going into a foreign country where you don’t speak the same language. The language being emotion.
This is different from schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is more related to having paranoia thoughts, speaking in tongues and believing in delusions.
I somewhat have some traits of this. It’s caused by childhood trauma…being emotionally abused as a kid. When children don’t have a “safe” person to share emotional intimacy with, they feel neglected.
As a result, children with SPD end up being emotionally avoidant/social recluses. Detaching to avoid getting into social entanglements. Thought process “what’s the point of this”?
It’s not that they don’t have emotions it’s just they don’t feel emotions that strongly. Neutral is the default state of mind. They avoid people who are emotionally reactive
Sharing emotions is a difficulty because they don’t know what emotions they’re putting out or experiencing…it’s hidden inside.
Being vulnerability is a risk with SPD because they feel sharing a part of themselves might register in emotional manipulation or other words, they feel exposed!
If you dealt with a person who was hesitant to form a bond or closeness with you…truth is most likely that person has SPD.
Ever heard of masking? And no I’m not talking about the blue Covid mask either lol
all jokes aside…we all do this at times.
Masking is playing a role of a character to blend in certain social situations. We mask when we’re at work, dealing with strangers, etc. Individuals with SPD mask a lot to compensate for social anhedonia.
What’s anhendonia? The inability to feel pleasure. The dopamine is nonexistent.
Social anhedonia is the lack of pleasure from socializing. It’s like if a person doesn’t feel any reward from socializing they feel disappointed…
Dating with SPD? It’s a spectrum…the difficulty is a person with SPD may feel like the relationship is emotional labor. Feel claustrophobic if they feel the person is being overbearing.
People with SPD are unconventional daters…they date on their own terms instead of going by the playbook.
SPD is most common in men than women.
SPD is different from autism because unlike autism people with SPD understand social cues. It’s just they don’t want to bother with people’s bullshyt
