Schizoid Personality, what is it:

Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD) is a type of personality disorder characterized by a pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of emotional expression. Individuals with schizoid personality disorder often prefer solitude and may appear emotionally cold or indifferent to others. They typically have difficulty forming and maintaining close relationships, and social interactions may be limited.

Key features of schizoid personality disorder include a lack of interest in forming close relationships, a preference for solitary activities, limited emotional expression, and a tendency to be absorbed in their own thoughts and fantasies. While they may seem indifferent to social cues and norms, it’s important to note that individuals with SPD are not necessarily distressed by their behavior.

It’s crucial to distinguish schizoid personality disorder from other mental health conditions and to seek professional help for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if needed.
