Schizoid general

tfw i have 6 of them

OP here, sure why not

You can read symptoms of cancer while having flu and believe it's cancer.

Some of those symptoms also occur in depression and social anxiety which is much more likely the case. You don't know anything about psychiatry if you think you have something just because some of the symptoms are written in DSM-5.

Well then perhaps I don't really have the actual disorder, but the definition of the word "schizoid" still describes me perfectly, so I will continue to use it.

"Denoting or having a personality type characterized by emotional aloofness and solitary habits."

Is "schizo/schizoid" different than schizophrenia (which I understand to be the symptom of hearing voices that aren't there)

They are completely different yes. Schizo is more often used for schizophrenia.

schizoid personality disorder is like the name implies a personality disorder, while schizophrenia isn't, hearing voices is in most cases simply hearing voices and can but doesn't need to be a symptom of schizophrenia. It also had nothing to do with dissociative identity disorder, multiple personality.

schizophrenia means a split from reality. It's the whole package. Imacting your thinking, your feeling, your behavior, all kinds of sensations you're experiencing in form of audible, tactile, visual etc. hallucinations, are all way out of the norm, and is accompanied by delusions, delusion of reference where you take everything you encounter in direct reference to yourself, delusion of grandeur, paranoid delusions, and more.
Basically take how you experience the world, all you know about it and yourself, your view and experience of reality you know (not that neurotypical know of anything else) and into the trash it goes and imagine something completely different.. it's really hard to get the schizophrenic experience across, cause there are no words or concepts for it really, it's so far off the way we ordinarily experience everything. Can be a pretty mystic experience but drugs can also do that for you of course.

slowly counting the days until i have to start my new [programming] job. savoring the last moments of happiness before the inevitable misery

Just sat at home alone like usual. It's nice because my parents are away so I've basically just had things to myself.
