5. Lacks Close Relationships
Most of us require a basic need for intimacy. It is integral to establishing and maintaining strong bonds in relationships. A person with schizoid personality disorder usually has few close relationships outside of the family and little or no desire for intimacy.
Not only are they unlikely to form strong bonds through intimate relationships, but they are also unlikely to pursue close friendships. They may, however, form superficial relationships with others, although they are unlikely to seek out such relationships.
