9. Appears Aloof or Detached
Because people with schizoid personality disorder have trouble forming personal relationships or expressing their feelings meaningfully, they often appear aloof or distant. However, many people with the disorder seem comfortable with their aloofness and seem happiest in relationships that require little or no emotional intimacy, reinforcing this detachment.
They may consider themselves observers, rather than participants, in the world and may choose jobs that enable them to maintain this distance from others, such as night security officers or laboratory workers.
