People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion.
Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone and do not
secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact.
Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance.
They are perceived by others as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."

• Weak interpersonal skills


• Difficulty expressing anger, even when provoked


• "Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations


• Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged


• Low sexual desire


• Unresponsive to praise or criticism

It is important to distinguish schizoid from avoidant. Avoidants will feel anxiety in social situations
  and have the desire to fit in, while schizoids simply prefer to be alone. It is occassionally difficult
to distinguish between schizoid and Asperger's, as well.


This disorder is diagnosed more frequently and is often more severe among males. Schizoids usually do not seek treatment on their own and are often coaxed into it by a loved one.
