It's been described as "the personality disorder that lacks a personality". It's a deficit disorder, because the person lacks certain traits that you'd expect to see in a "normal" person.
It meets the requirements for a disorder, since it's a deviation from social norms and can interfere with a person's life to various degrees. SzPD doesn't get a lot of attention, so the diagnosis itself isn't desperately well developed. It's more of a baffling psychological curiosity to many. Something they don't quite know how to deal with.
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoConformance is personality now? Your normie lens are too thick.
- gatonegro 4y agoI'm talking about a clinical definition of a "personality disorder". > A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that deviates from the expectations of the culture, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time.[1] What I personally think wasn't stated and is not relevant to my point.

- GoblinSlayer 4y agoFirst line at your link: >Personality is the way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes a person different from other people. So tell me how SPD lacks a personality. A person without a personality would be indistinguishable from other people. If you read the definition of SPD, it doesn't quite satisfy the definition of disorder, nothing there implies distress or problems. Deviations are expected alright, because people are different. Seems to not care? It's not an expectation of the culture that you're entitled to be relevant everywhere, you're relevant only where you earned it, and care about praise is deeply personal.
