Hello~ Sorry to bother you with this question I might be not sure what I'm trying to ask. But first I need to say I've OCD and maybe this could be related to it so please I'm sorry to be such a crybaby but as you know being unsure or wondering is frustrating. I think I've some SZPD symtomp, such as lack of interests to make new relationships, but I think this could be related to my SAD, I don't care about what others do, I get bored easily of people, how can I separed my SAD from SZPD symtomps?
sorry for the late reply! ive been busy lately.Â
however, theres not much similarities between SAD and SZPD tbh, theres a lot of differences so really it will be easy to differentiate. Both do have social ties in areas but both create a different effect. SAD is straight up anxiety, being social makes you nervous and in distress, makes you worry you might hurt someone or embarrass yourself and etc. That’s not really SZPD at all. Sure schizoids can worry about embarrassing themselves, mainly because a lot believe they have an image to maintain and showing any case of emotion is. Ew. but thats really it. Schizoids are indifferent, they dont want to be social not because theyre scared of the outcome but simply because they dont want to. they dont need to even. theyre not anxious when it comes to people and making friends or whatever, and really they dont care to seek friendship anyways.Â
