6. Complications
Personality disorders may make life difficult for others, more so than the one with the diagnosis. For those interacting with a person with schizoid personality disorder, it may be frustrating. Since there is not much emotional feedback provided, it is difficult to understand if someone with a schizoid personality disorder is satisfied or unhappy.
This distance between emotions creates a physical distance. While this is preferable to the person with the diagnosis, it makes things such as work more challenging for others. Depending on the profession, however, a person with schizoid personality disorder may thrive.
