- @ Health Line - Schizoid personality disorder "is a type of eccentric personality disorder. A person with this disorder has behavior that is different from most other people. For example, people with schizoid personality disorder tend to avoid social interactions, and some may seem aloof or lacking personality.
- "Schizoid personality disorder (SPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, secretiveness, emotional coldness, and apathy. Affected individuals may simultaneously demonstrate a rich, elaborate and exclusively internal fantasy world.Affected individuals may demonstrate significant creativity, particularly in the areas of fiction writing[citation needed] and visual arts. SPD is not the same as schizophrenia or antisocial personality disorder. Some psychologists argue that the definition of SPD is flawed due to cultural bias." - Wikipedia
- @ Mayo Clinic - "Schizoid personality disorder is an uncommon condition in which people avoid social activities and consistently shy away from interaction with others. It affects more males than females. If you have schizoid personality disorder, you may be seen as a loner, and you may lack the desire or skill to form close personal relationships.To others, you may appear somewhat dull or humorless. Because you don't tend to show emotion, you may appear as though you don't care about what's going on around you. "
