The unsettling truth is that society really, really despises people with schizoid personality disorder.
(EDIT: People with SPD are averse to violence and prone to all kinds of abuse. The he-said/she-said stuff is particularly useless here.)
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoYou’re not doing people with the disease any favors by equating it with spousal abuse.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoIME Society rarely notices people with schizoid personality disorder- most people with schizoid don't even go to a doctor and never get formally diagnosed. This is especially true compared to schizoid's siblings in the personality disorder categories (Category A), paranoid and schizotypal. (Minor edit: Also, committing spousal abuse is distinctly not a trait of schizoid personality disorder.)
- rriepe 6y agoI think they're both true. Despising without noticing is a good description, since it fits the homeless and so many of them are SPD.
