My family cannot accept nor tolerate not fitting the mould. The NDs end up being the family whipping boys. We see through the narcissism and obsession with honour and don't have time for that crap. My aunt, me and my nephew are A Team, and we end up being demonised and blamed for everything. My strong food aversions and social difficulties made me get a lot of bullying from all over the family. My dad would always let me know what a failure I was, my mum treated me like I was broken and kept trying to fix me. The only adult I remember accepting me as I am, was one aunt in Barbados. Everyone there was so social, I struggled and shut down, got overloaded, I was getting flack from everyone. She was so kind though.End result is I match <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/schizoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schizoid</a> symptoms.

thomas yager-maddenSo believe me when I tell you this <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/schizoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schizoid</a> personality business I post about occasionally, a lot of the usually associated traits with me they go to just about to eleven. I mean, the therapist and I agree that in a lot of the surface details I have a successful enough life across many dimensions that I don’t qualify for a personality disorder diagnosis. Although I must admit even being as it were “too functional to be considered really sick” can be its own little trigger sometimes. I’ve sometimes compared it to being like a borderline case, only without having even the flawed release valve of acting out. I just internalize a lot, both in relationships and from my whole environment, and that’s as much behind my high sensory sensitivity as being highly sensitive to both sensory inputs and emotional states are part of the whole dynamic. Before I was introduced to Nancy McWilliams’s work on schizoid dynamics (along with Elaine Aron on HSP stuff) I often wondered about myself and ASD and/or ADHD. I absolutely respect anyone’s diagnosis or self-diagnosis along such lines, and I also doubt any of these categories or models are actually quite so neatly distinct in the subjectivity of any individual psyche, especially among survivors of complex trauma. But for me the schizoid model really feels like the best fit, and educating myself on the study of schizoid adaptations has really gone a long way to helping me relate to myself with much more understanding and compassion. I encourage anyone who’s felt not comfortably at home in the world in a deep way to look into it some time. Maybe it’s not you, but then again maybe I’m not the only one for whom it might help untangle some things.So but anyway, all of this is really just preface to establish my bona fides as a dude who can be easily overstimulated and kind of shut down or short circuit in unfamiliar environments, and especially when there’s a lot of new input to process at once. And even when not at the point of overwhelm, too much stuff at once can provoke anxiety and discomfort and things like loud noises or flashing lights can just make it so I feel like I can’t think (although another weird schizoid superpower is I can be weirdly able to selectively tune out certain annoyances that I see others fail in attempts to ignore).So believe me when I say it always feels like a plain miracle that every time I come to New York City I just love it here. It seems like I should hate the crowds and the noise and even very extroverted people I know stay far away from Times Square, but I could just walk around for hours in any part of town. It somehow feels like I’m walking on a tightrope with ease and never falling. I have amusing and friendly banter with street vendors and shopkeepers and doormen. I take photos of street art. All my personal problems seem solveable. I keep almost compulsively going for walks just to soak up more of the magic of it, and a huge part of the feeling at this point is just a big like mystical curiosity because I really genuinely don’t understand how I am able to enjoy myself so much here, — like I just literally cannot conceive of how it’s possible that I am feeling this good in the midst of all this — and but then the other bigger part is just the joy of being open to it.Man that’s a lotta words and the crux of the thing is really unexplainable. It’s a vibe, the city, and I’m grateful for learning to catch some of it even if I’ll never understand how I pull it off

thomas yager-madden<a href="https://mastodon.social/@SilverArrows" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SilverArrows</a> I see you've come across some of my own posts on schizoid dynamics. Seeing this post of yours, I wanted to emphasize that you might find it helpful, as I have, not to think of schizoidness as a pathology or diagnosis, but simply as a style or type or tendency of personality, -- which like other personality dynamics can be said to exist on a spectrum. In this sense, while more extreme manifestations such as schizophrenia or personality disorders do tend to appear around adolescence, object-relations psychoanalysts and other theorists find the origins of schizoid adaptations forming from infancy.If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend Nancy McWilliams's paper ["Some Thoughts about Schizoid Dynamics"](<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7142775_Some_Thoughts_about_Schizoid_Dynamics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7142775_Some_Thoughts_about_Schizoid_Dynamics</a>). Although published in an academic journal, it was written to be approachable for laypeople and at least in my case, it has helped me so much that I find myself going back to it again and again. I don't consider myself (and neither does my therapist) a personality-disorder case, but even for a relatively "high-functioning" individual, <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/schizoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schizoid</a> life can be challenging and painful, because we tend to be exquisitely sensitive, and the larger culture and even the therapeutic professions don't do a great job understanding and supporting the unique ways in which we understand and relate to the world. You have my best wishes for a thriving and brilliant recovery!<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/neurodiversity" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neurodiversity</a>

Silver Arrows<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Schizoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schizoid</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a>?I feel like schizoid matches me more (my GP went through the ICD10 symptoms with me, I matched all except anhedonia). But schizoid is meant to start at adolescence. I've been the weird one since a very young age. My first recorded mutism was me being mute at nursery school for three whole months. I had obsessions since a young age, was always socially inept and my food aversions started after I got chickenpox age 3. <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/neurodiversity" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neurodiversity</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/idrlabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idrlabs</a>

thomas yager-madden“Affectively, one of the most striking aspects of many high-functioning individuals with schizoid dynamics is their lack of common defenses. They tend to be in touch with many emotional reactions at a level of genuineness that awes and even intimidates their acquaintances. It is common for the schizoid person to wonder how everybody else can be lying to themselves so effortlessly when the harsh facts of life are so patent. Part of the alienation from which schizoid people suffer derives from their experiences of not having their own emotional, intuitive, and sensory capacities validated—because others simply do not see what they do. The ability of a schizoid person to perceive what others disown or ignore is so natural and effortless that he or she may lack empathy for the less lucid, less ambivalent, less emotionally harrowing world of nonschizoid peers.”Nancy McWilliams, _Psychoanalytic Diagnosis_ (2nd ed., 2011)<a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/schizoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schizoid</a>
