Books on Schizoid, or written by Schizoids. I feel completely numb. I just want to lay on my bed and let time pass on. I'm not depressed, nor do I want a book for "changing" myself. Rather I want a books with schizoid character, or written by people with Schizoid.

Yeah, when I still worked I would basically pretend to be very autistic and stupid so that people would leave me alone, because if I tried and they still didn’t want to be around me it would have been too painful. I tend to assume half the “autistic” people I encounter are doing the same, and when I get to know them I’m usually right.

That said the actual diagnostic criteria aren't really there for me. Won't speak for anyone else though.
Reminder that if you have the overt/covert traits but not the diagnostic criteria, you are not even subclinical, just a particular kind of person. Or in other words, schizoids strongly tend to those personality traits but not everyone with those traits is a schizoid (as per wiki so YMMV)

>>19965402
Go full spiritual and say that every one of us is mentally ill in this profound sick society. There is an universal pathology from where our darkness springs and identifying yourself with a disorder might be skilful in order to discover your potentialities. You are just denying the work of people who have dedicated their lives to get to know personality traits and unusual behaviors.

narcissists are deeply self-hating. its not an antithesis, its how da brain works. you also can't completely circumvent a human need for contact. schizoids can feel guilty about their own lack of care, for example.

You got it right. It's like treating "depression" as endogenous or caused by "chemical imbalance". Ok, maybe that's possible, and maybe this is the "personality" of someone or a few people a case study was written on. As a diagnosis it's an extreme example of a jumble of symptoms with no insight applied. Then we get teeny boppers online "identifying" with yet another amorphous pathology, while society erodes around them.

Calling people "retards" is an emotional outburst. You are not a schizoid. Please leave the thread since this thread is made by and for schizoids. Although whether or not you really leave will not affect me much since I, unlike you, am a pure schizoid, so do not attempt to spite me.

Being a schizoid is not a mental illness you pseud, it's just a personality trait so I'm gonna identify with it because it makes me feel warm and safe

[Anonymous No.19970746]

I can't tell if I'm schizoid or not. I'm not a closed off autist, I'm actually incredibly personable and can even speak too much if I'm not reigned in. I find it very easy to make friends and to introduce myself to new people. I totally have that inauthentic feeling though. Rarely does it feel absolutely genuine. I also find that I'm quite cold emotionally, the only time I really feel deep emotion is when I'm ashamed or a film is quite moving. Probably just stunted. I imagine a lot of people here are like me.

Deanimated Bodies and Disembodied minds by the psychiatrist and philosopher Giovanni Stanghellini is primarily about schizophrenia, but, if memory serves, has several essays about schizoids.

Reading that will probably be really good for you, so that you might realize that a 7-item list that gives an """indication""" is by no means a diagnostic tool, and only a complete and total retard would think so.

Apart from that, Book of Disquiet is a much better study in the phenomenology of schizoidia than anything else mentioned in the thread.

Bowden is the most schizophrenic writer I have ever read (inb4 someone with absolutely no coherence).

>KRATOS deals with the subject of psychopathia and is the author's treatment of this theme. It involves dream sequences, monologue, phantasy and the elaboration of a wolfish purpose. Could it turn out to be a rendering of Lombroso's theories about crime It is accompanied by three additional stories. ORIGAMI BLUEBEARD, which concerns love across the generations which freezes into gelignite. GRIMALDI'S LEO has to be an altogether lighter work which evaluates the doctrine of 'animal liberation' from the perspective of a travelling circus. NAPALM BLONDE, the final tale in our quartet, must be considered as an attempted return to Greek tragedy.

>The Fanatical Pursuit of Purity is a Gesamtkunstwerk or attempt at a total art-work in the Wagnerian tradition. It prefigures a puppet-stage or toy-theatre within which the lead character or marionette, Phosphorous Cool, has his circumference. Into this world other dolls - Mastodon Helix, Heathcote Dervish and Warlock Splendour Thomas - nimbly trip and spin. All of this finds itself punctuated by a third dimension or alternative space. It proves to be the unconscious or dream-space inhabited by these exercises in a macabre pantomime. This rival or extending narrative brings back our wooden figurines as part of an alternative Victoriana. It deals with Stephen KnightÕs analysis of Jack the Ripper and a variant on Mary ShelleyÕs Frankenstein - even James WhaleÕs film starring Boris Karloff. Mr Bowden believes in the creation of a separate world as artÕs real purpose. It goes without saying that the result is Ôpolitically incorrect!Õ.
