Then you are just schizophrenic, with some schizoid tendencies.

I don't care who is who, but I do know the type of posts that will get banned but he did point out something that is misunderstood about schizoids. People imagine that they will sit in their Cave of Solitude and write great works of art, or discover a new invention, or train their bodies to be a great athlete, whereas a lot of schizoids have no dreams, no ambitions, no aspirations, they are sometimes referred as "the walking dead" or "zombies" as in they work, sleep, work, sleep and then they die, without doing anything of significance, and those are the higher function ones. The extremely low functioning ones will just cut all connections with society and end up homeless on the street, not as beggars, because that would mean relying on other people which is destructive to the schizoid mind, but as dumpster divers. Apparently a very high percentage, maybe even over 50% of homeless people are schizoid so it's not a sign of a healthy mind. Oh and that is if they don't just kill themselves, because they are extremely prone to depression and suicidal ideation, truly the hallmark of a successful individual. You could also think of them as having no soul.
If someone replies to this as "based" or "a good life", when it comes to homelessness, then burn down your house, your wallet, your ID,
everything and go live on the streets if you think that's a good life. The higher functioning ones, will either get the midnight shift at a warehouse, or work in IT and just seem like "a bit off" to your colleagues.

>if someone cannot form close relationships it can easily be because of social anxiety, or just not having so much as a common interest to connect with someone
The way I phrase it is like this. We eat food both because we need to survive and because it tastes good, it's why we don't just eat pills, and instead spend hours preparing delicious food. Now imagine someone who doesn't need to eat food, or if he does, it's only once every few months, and that food doesn't have any taste to him. He knows how to eat properly, he has good manners, and if necessary can be at a table and eat with others, but he would rather not eat at all. That is my analogy, people need friends and other people in their life, or they start suffering from Cabin Fever(a real thing, look it up), but the schizoid barely receives any pleasure from other people, regardless of the person, could be some idealized 2D anime person, still the same thing. You might choose not to eat certain foods because of X reasons and prefer other types of food for Y reasons, whereas the schizoid doesn't eat food in general, because why would he?
>meaningful sex? sex even after marriage?
Yes, they might desire to avoid it, because it's too personal with someone else and prefer masturbation, not because of any 3DPD ideas, but because it would involve being emotionally and physically in touch with another being, and that is dangerous for the schizoid self, because it means someone encroaching in his personal space. He might, then take on a double life, have a second family in some other part of the country, and travel back and forth, just to avoid getting too attached to other people, or might just cheat on her, not for the thrill, but just to distance himself, or he might intentionally sabotage his relationship and get a divorce, just to get away from her because she was "way too clingy" aka wanted to spend 10 minutes a day with him. There was a case where a schizoid seduced a married woman, convinced her to divorce her husband, and when she wanted to marry him, he lost all interest in her, not because she wasn't faithful, but because she wanted to be faithful to him, and that was way too personal, he liked her when she was married to someone else, because that meant she wasn't directly connected to him.
Now someone might say, that just being a loner is not a mental disease, and some psychologists do think so as well(something like: What? Saying that someone is too introverted is a mental disorder? Nonsense) , but it's more than that, and if it stops you from interacting with other people and procreate, then from a gene's point of view it is a disease the same way homosexuality is.
One more thing, for those who wonder how can you identify a schizoid in the wild? Well, they are sometimes mistaken for autists, but whereas an autists doesn't understand human emotions or body language, the schizoid perfectly understands them, but simply doesn't care to react. And no, you can't be both schizoid and autists, they are mutually exclusive, you are either one of them, or none. Another peculiar thing, is that when schizoids are on anonymous forums, like here, they write and act the same way a normal person would, because again they perfectly understand how a normal person acts, they simply lack the drive to do it in public. Maybe it's because they don't see others as people, and it's just a computer monitor with text on screen, but they act normal when on anonymous forums, and weird when in public. It's why I believe a lot of self-proclaimed autists here on imageboards, are actually schizoids that were mistaken for autists. Actually going back to
>>1080258 I looked a bit more into the schizoid narcissists, and they actually can get their narcissistic energy refill, if it's from anonymous people on the internet, so yeah you can have a schizoid Twitter artists, if he/she copes by thinking that the people praising the art are not people, but just some bots.
t. medically diagnosed as a schizoid
At least I am a highly functional one.
