I'm overwhelmingly affected by praise

> 90% of this is dead on accurate for me
haha yea i cant wait to die alone

Schizoid personality basically means a split ego. The real self is weak, scared and hidden inside, while there is a false self that is interacting with the world.
This causes depression because the real self is starved and dead, since nothing of what the false self does will feel satisfying to the real self. Just to be clear, this is not multiple personality disorder.
Anyway, you're right, it's not the "normie" depression. That one is typically characterized by guilt, whereas the schizoid depression is characterized by emptiness.

I don't know about that, a lot of Jow Forums goes on about being at parties and having gf's and hanging out with friend and family all in a positive light

>Schizoid personality basically means a split ego
I thought it was like apd

It's like I'm reading a description of me.

They may very well be the same thing. After reading quite a bit about this stuff, what I understand is that if you look deeply enough with psychoanalysis, you'll find that a "schizoid" is almost always "avoidant".
But at the heart of it there is this split that happens in childhood, when a child doesn't feel safe and/or loved, so he retreats inside, trying to escape from life.
It gets quite complex, I'm on mobile and I don't have my notes, but if this stuff interestw you, you should read it "Schizoid Phenomena, Object-Relations, and the Self" by Harry Guntrip. I'm halfway thorough it, it's very fascinating and enlightening, but you should know that it's not a self help book, it's been written by a psychoanalyst for psychoanalysts.

>most of you guys
...are Avoidants, not Schizoids.

Oh shit. I hit pretty much every part except the sexual things.
Could this be that I am like that?

why did you make this on /tv/ as well you jackass

we yearn for it, but when we actually show up to one its scary and uncomfortable

>self diagnose
kys or do something to improve your life.
I would recommend the former since it eliminate all problem and worries and, if successful, make regret literally impossible. Shotgun to the head is the efficient way

fugg lol i even remember when this happened

Schizoid imo is caused by a lack of interest in reality brought about by depersonalization/derealization that was originally caused by traumatic situations or simply an incompatibility with the ideals that are made manifest in one's environment. Whether that disinterest is genuine or a defense mechanism can vary from person to person.
Avoidant imo is caused by a desire to prevent past traumas from recurring.

The key difference is that schizoids are not participants in "reality" (quotes because this can mean a lot of different things, whether it's society or some other context they physically belong to) while avoidants are but are afraid of it. The schizoid state of mind is a lot more difficult to understand from an external perspective, though, if you've never depersonalized or derealized for long periods, so they can appear superficially similar.

As always
threadly reminder that "covert schizoid" isn't actually a real thing and is pushed by a single psychologist.
If you display the "covert schizoid" symptoms you aren't schizoid, it's more likely you're avoidant or have other issues

This probably applies well to losers and robots in general, not just schizoids

pretty much describes me perfectly

I'm not depressed. I just understood the fundamental unfairness of life. What happens to you and how you feel depends to a significant degree on your birth.

I told this story once before. I got a job as a secretary in arbitration cases. They're confidential and most of the disputes are about very rich people doing rich people things.
The one which REALLY got to me was a case where one sickeningly hot blonde, with about a dozen mansions, was trying to get the rights to a seaside property which belonged to an old woman. The old woman also had a dozen mansions or more.
The futility of it sent something through my soul.
And I realized that however hard I worked, or however positive I was about life, I'd never even get close to a hundreth of what those people experience and have.
That hot blonde had done nothing in her life other than being born rich. And she was treated like she was soooo much better than me or anyone else. She behaved like that too. Probably will until she dies.

wow, your feelings of inferiority are really hot. what you gonna do about it poor boy? nothing.

Exactly. That's exactly it.
There is nothing most of us can do.
You'll realize it soon enough, unless you're posting from your wifi-enabled Ferrari steering wheel which you earned by selling newspapers for 50 years.
