First, thank you for this video. Very useful and very accurate. Second, I feel like and I think that for me social anhedonia and overwhelm when socializing are both present.
With age certainly you get the stronger urge to be alone. Admittedly there have been moments when you consider socializing in order to 'do something' that you 'want to do' but 'unfortunately you have to involve people in order to do that thing - so one pursues that thing and socializes and often comes away bitterly disappointed with the people involved in the interactions.
I'm finding it so difficult, as the older I get the more solitude I require yet the demands of caring for aging parents prevents me from being able to lead a life of solitude.
@@g_carr I've noticed that the desire for solitude or quest for it often leads one wanting to shirk responsibilities as a schizoid and that can be harmful either to the schizoid or others.
We humans are social creatures we’re not meant to be alone or isolating ourselves from the people, i did noticed how much i isolate myself, or being alone, it does affect my poor social skills at times or my thinking abilities because of ‘’withdrawal’’ But i am fine with being alone. Because people work on my nerves…I see my friend, brother. Sometimes my friend, brother invite me to come sleep over so i don’t feel ‘’lonely’’ but i don’t want to because my brother is ‘’married’’ It’s awkward to go sleep over but it doesn’t bother me that much being alone at all. It’s like they’re feeling sad for me, pathetic kinda…I don’t have pets, most lonely people buy pets. But not me, i don’t feel much fear because of my muted emotions. I do believe that schizoid individuals do feel ‘’lonely’’ at occasionally but not like neurotypical individuals. We don’t have abandoned issues though. So it depends on the individual. An schizoid person can have an, wife, gf, husband. I can have a gf, wife if i want too but i choose not to and besides i am not romantic person and i have empathy problems so my relationship won’t last long back then and i have dark side in me, which i already explained about my (ASPD)….Schizoid individuals they’re all in different spectrum, they’re one of the smartest people i ever encountered to be honest, like you and your subscribers. Thanks for the video ma’am for your sharp-witted insightful explanation.
I am a schizoid and I love to talk for hours daily but I cannot form attachments 99% of the time, maybe 100%. Other people aren't of sentimental value to me and I don't remember things about them. I don't romanticise other people or relationships or understand insecurity and feelings of exclusion - alienation, but not exclusion.
