10. Lives in a World Ripe with Fantasy
One symptom of schizoid personality disorder that is not always obvious is the tendency to create a rich world of fantasies within the mind. Generally, this fantasy world is exclusive to them. The fantasies are often elaborate and deeply entwined with their everyday lives.
