7. May Be Highly Secretive
Privacy is important to most human beings. It gives us space to be ourselves. However, people with schizoid personality disorder can appear to be far more secretive than most. Despite having nothing to hide, they may be excessively concerned about privacy, becoming anxious or frustrated when they feel their privacy is invaded.
Similarly, by sharing their inner thoughts and feelings, a person with schizoid personality disorder may believe they are exposing themselves. Therefore, they tend to keep to themselves, appearing secretive to outsiders.
