How do I know if I have schizoid personality disorder vs. just being very introverted?
I'm trying to figure out what's 'me' versus what's a pattern that got named. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. Stigma made me delay getting language for years. I'm done delaying. I keep finding essays that sound right and still don't change Tuesday morning. What would you tell someone who is tired of trying and still not ready to give up?

Schizoid PD involves a lack of whole object relations — you see people as either all good or all bad with no middle ground. You also struggle to experience emotion internally, not just express it externally.
