Well explained and well analyzed, really good job. I am not diagnosed one officially but my licensed psychologist told me back then when I was 27 that I show symptoms of schizoid and ASPD traits. But I was never officially diagnosed one back then….So technically I am not a schizoid because no diagnosis like you. Your channel deserve way more subscribers and more views. Thanks for the video ma’am.

Thank you for always providing good and rich content for us! I'm married with an undiagnosed SPD that related to all the traits and criteria. Your videos make me understand more about his personality and how I can support him better. Definitely being too independent was taken as him being dismissive towards me, which I understand better now.

How do you experience schizoid dilemma? Still been unsure what to do in that regard

[martineldritch]

Like how your diagram looks like an octopus, that "alien among us" critter with a central brain and a specialized brain in each of its eight tentacles. I like my time beneath the waves in a garden in the shade 🦑
