Schizoid Disorder

The essential feature of Schizoid Personality Disorder is "a pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of expression of emotions in interpersonal settings." These individuals seem to lack a desire of intimacy. Spend time alone and choose activities that do not include interaction with others. The schizoid personality disorder is "characterized by a retreat from emotional contact, social and otherwise, with a preference for fantasy, solitary activities and introspection. They have a limited ability to express feelings and to experience pleasure. Their isolation may lead others to complain and try to establish contact, but often these attempts fail and people traded after being repeatedly rejected. The inner world of the schizoid person, may differ significantly from appearance outside of the individual. Undoubtedly these people are often a jumble of contradictions.
