I know I am not an INTP, but I wanted to post anyway and I have extremely low F & J scores.

I have been seeing a therapist for a year and she refuses to diagnose me with anything other than depression. She says it is for insurance purposes. She is a very nice lady.

I have always thought I had social anxiety dissorder and I have to make sure I force myself to go hang out with friends at least once a week. I do see people at work and stuff, but it is not quite as uplifting as hanging out with friends.

I would definelty do a nutritional evaluation for the headaches and neurological issues. Make sure you are getting all of your vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytochemicals. This and exersize help me.

[QUOTE=vel;452331]I would not call it a "disease". It simply means that you were born way way on the other side of the extraversion-intraversion spectrum.

Cheers bro. Anyways, I like it alone. Leonardo da Vinci had it right, if you live with even one other person, you belong half to yourself. Also, if zombies attack, there will be less chance of them attacking me

Really? Are you sue she was even qualified to be a shrink?

I wouldn't consider myself a true "schizoid," but it's something I have a lot in common with. Schizoid PD isn't about disliking people so much as it's about social anhedonia: There really isn't much reason to socialize much with people if it doesn't stimulate some kind of pleasure pathway in your brain to do so. Social anhedonia is a fairly dominant element of my personality and lifestyle, too.

Social anhedonia is a mixed blessing.

I wish I could tell people that sometimes so they would leave me alone, but no, I am not a shizoid.

[OMG WTF BRO]

In some ways, yes, but this particular PD doesn't really sit right with me.

There was another thread awhile ago.

Anyway I just think that the other PDs are actually caused by a person's upbringing while developing a schizoid personality has more to do with a person's innate wiring and genetics.

It applies to all introverts to an extent but l do think INTPs and INxx in general feel more "split" in their own minds.

Magical thinking though, and all of that I have none of but IDK if that's part of SPD or another schizophrenic spectrum disorder(schizotypal? No idea what the difference is).

And also having a headache is not part of it lol.

Horseshit. Utter horseshit.

People who don't hurt anyone and are happy should be left alone, period.
