5. Signs & Symptoms
There are a few telling signs that a person may have schizoid personality disorder. The most prominent is the absence of any close relationships. This includes family members and romantic relations. A person who prefers to be alone and prefers to live a solitary existence may be diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder.
Another telling sign is a lack of emotion and outright detachment. A person who never voices excitement, either in words or tone, may be more prone to being schizoid. People who lack a desire for sexual experiences with others may also get the same diagnosis.
