They may have a monotonous quality to their speech and appear emotionally flat during interactions with others.4Rosell, Daniel R et al. ‘Schizotypal personality disorder: a current review.’ Current psychiatry reports vol. 16,7 (2014): 45 2: doi:10.1007/s11920-014-0452-1
Others tend to view someone who has schizoid personality disorder as emotionally cold or detached. If a person with schizoid personality disorder has insight into their emotionally flat affect, they may try to fake the kind of emotions or reactions people expect to see.
