Schizoid personality disorder

A schizoid personality disorder is a group of conditions called “Cluster ‘A’ ” or eccentric personality disorders. People with these disorders often appear odd or peculiar.


Detached And Distant: Signs Your Loved One May Have Schizoid Personality Disorder

A schizoid personality disorder is often characterised by antisocial behaviour, detachment from others, and lack of interest in personal relationships. At first, their behaviour may be masked as other issues, like clinical depression. Still, as time goes on, they worsen rather than improve and continue to isolate themselves, which illustrates a different problem. With closer observation, you may distinguish some specific symptoms/behaviours that could indicate SPD.


No Interest in Relationships

A ubiquitous symptom in those with a schizoid personality disorder is their complete lack of interest in developing and maintaining relationships of any kind. Even with family, they are typically more withdrawn than the average person. While the type of behaviour can differ depending on the individual, this can also be compounded by other mental issues that may be present simultaneously, as this symptom is consistently present.


No Intimacy

In addition to having no interest in building normal relationships, those individuals with SPD will likely never develop an interest in intimacy or sexual relationships of any kind, even those that are non-committal. Physical intimacy is not something from which they receive pleasure, and even physical interaction without emotional attachment is something they are not mainly motivated to participate in.


Emotional Detachment

Disinterest in those around them isn’t limited to personal interactions. People with SPD also tend to be indifferent to other people’s emotional state, praise, criticism, etc. They may often seem to be emotionally distant and cold, as they have a limited range of expression of emotions in interpersonal interactions.


Self-Isolation and Solitary Activities

As people with SPD do not have an interest in building connections with others, they often choose to isolate themselves, spending most if not all of their time alone. They usually don’t seem to take pleasure in many activities, but those they choose to partake in are always solitary. They don’t show feelings of happiness with these activities but instead remain in a state of emotional detachment.


Symptoms That Are Not Present

With several varieties of personality disorders and other psychiatric illnesses, there is often an overlap in behaviours and symptoms, making it difficult to differentiate. With that in mind, there are a couple of symptoms that are typically not displayed as part of SPD. Those with SPD do not have ‘highs’ and ‘lows’, during which they range from reclusive to socially outgoing. They also do not tend to exhibit truly psychotic behaviours. If these symptoms are present, your loved one may have a different issue.

Dealing with a loved one that has any borderline personality disorder can be very challenging. Whether SPD ends up as the correct diagnosis, if you or someone you love experiences any of the above symptoms, it’s essential to seek help right away. With that said, these symptoms are a guideline you can use to find help; please do not attempt to diagnose anyone yourself. There are many resources available to help with finding counselling and psychiatric evaluation to get a proper diagnosis.

Sex trafficking victim

“It’s really hard now that I’m processing what i went through. It seemed normal and it was all i knew. it was painful when i got hurt. But i didn’t realise how terrible my situation was.

I don’t know how a person could survive such a life, I find it hard to believe that I’m still alive.  I feel like I’m in a coma.

You never gave up on me.  You had hope that one day i will be free. Which i wonder why. I feel like MobieG played a big role in preserving my life, I couldnt have done it alone.

Being sold to man is the most difficult part of my past life’’
