Schizoid vs. Avoidant

[Anentropic IxTx]

After taking this: Personality Disorder Test - Personality Test, I realized I'm really more Schizoid, despite having heard about Avoidance earlier.

Gasp.

Ah, personality disorders.

Watch out! He's more than 2 standard deviations from the norm! HES DANGEROUSLY NOT NORMAL!

God I hate Psychology. It's taking something that is at its very CORE subjective and trying to make it objective. You can't objectify feelings, no matter what you do. They can't be numerical.

The answer to the thread title, in a nutshell, is:

Schizoids don't really tend to care (or even perceive) what people think of them and are reclusive generally to preserve their own autonomy.

Avoidants care deeply what others think of them, are hypersensitive to the perceptions of others, and are reclusive to avoid strong feelings of shame and embarrassment and inadequacy while around others.

I think that the amount of how "scary" is some person is written in combinations and strenghts of disorders.
Since they can neutralize each other or make each other stronger.

Who has time to care about what others think? I have a life to live damn it.

What made you turn paranoid?

What made you turn paranoid?

My paranoia varies a lot. If I take that test during one day, I would score Very High on paranoia while another day, I would score Very Low. Like if you were to test me right now, I would score low on paranoia, I guarantee you. But apparently some traits are more constant than others, at least for me.

That's accurate, yet the objectification is about the degree that these feelings are experienced.

P.S.: I somehow registered as schizoid. I think this could have some advantages in getting NF chicks. "I wish I could feel. Is sucks being a schizoid. not that someone like you could understand, nor could you help me unfortunately." That would be a great way of getting idealist chicks. I'm not really schizoid since I still have a present, yet moderate to minimal desire for relationships.

Man, this is way worse than the last time I took it. Either I'm worse off now, or I was in denial before (or both, I guess).
