>>229354Wassup, Wiz!
The way u explain the different stages of these disorders is pretty excellent, really excellent. It all lines up with what i've read and i agree with every point u made. That's also how i think about and analyze it.
After seeing a psychiatrist for a while, i was diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder. Even as a kid, i always had this constant, almost baseline anxiety (like the kind where u pace around for no reason). Later on, after years of bullying, i just couldn't function normally around people anymore…
>>229354I'ver never really been to undestand social interaction. I hate trying to understand something "between the lines". I spent several years studying literatura and trying to understand human behavior, u know. I was successful in the first past. I learned a lot about linguistics and human condition, but dealing with people was a complete nightmare.
Nowadays, i dont get any pleasure from being around people! Like u said, the anxiety has decreased significantly, but i also dont feel much from praise, criticism or social interaction anymore. I feel like im gradually losing those emotional reponses and spending more and more time in my own world, obsessively studying philosophy. Iove philosophy as hell.
The worst part is that i cant take antidepressants or any medication anymore because of my thyroid condition. It even prevents me from taking muscle relaxants. I have scoliosis, lol. Backed into a corner. But ook, at this point, im just waiting for the end.
