What exactly is schizoid personality disorder?

Well... Some guy mentioned it in one of the threads I had at some other site and I noticed a lot of the "symptoms" of it upon searching it up on Google are symptoms that I have...
But the thing is, I *want* to feel something with people. I want to feel emotions and attachment, I want to enjoy life, and I want to feel alive. I just can't.
I don't know how this even happened. Perhaps, all the weed I've been smoking and such? I've taken Wellbutrin before but it has done nothing for me... So I don't know.
I was really considering doing LSD but I heard that people with schizoid (or was that schizophrenia?) shouldn't even go near psychedelics and such... But I honestly don't know. I've smoked weed while on Wellbutrin before but there wasn't anything psychotic... Even smoked a good amount...
Along with Prozac, too. I'm off those meds... I don't think I'd want to be on them again.
But sigh, I'm really confused. I don't know what to do. I just feel so lost and unable to connect with my emotions. I feel like I'm a robot, and I don't want to be. I want to feel alive again.
I've gave shrooms a try about a few weeks back... 2g, but I didn't feel much out of it. None of my friends have said much about it either, maybe it wasn't potent or maybe 2g was just too little for all of us.
So I don't know. I really do feel like tripping alone though...

Not necessarily.

For all the talk of mental health issues being a contraindication there are relatively few reports of adverse events. The worst outcome is when the trip precipitates a prolonged psychotic episode. You have to decide if you are in that risk group.

Who needs emotions anyway?
only love is needed, love is more than an emotion
emotions are often negative/excessive thoughts... hate,fear,worries,anger,frustration
I am not my painbody, as Eckhart Tolle would have said it ;-)
it is pretty normal to lose both attachment and emotions after tripping on either LSD/mushrooms happens to many people but usually you feel the love instead then...
attachment and emotions are not necessarily good
.. if you have trouble interacting with other people you need to stop all drug use especially weed (own experience), and you need to stop it for many months likely

Quite possible to be depressed as a voluntary act of will. Hard to notice you're doing it after a while. Do you think a lot? I lost track of my thinking and ended up thinking all the time, not realising there was nothing mediating the ideas, no critical analysis or anything, just making stuff up. Eventually you start thinking about the horrors of the world when you're out of things to think about, and this leads to a general notion within you of a dark, foreboding world.
Then you snap out of your thinking and realise it's just how it always was.

You can't just "snap out" of full blown, clinical depression, trust me.

Well, it's a milder form of Schizophrenia, displaying some psychotic symptoms but not the full range as seen in full-blown Schizophrenia.

Thank you. Do you think this applies to schizoid personality disorder as well? Assuming that schizoid personality disorder is similar to schizophrenia right?

:/ The thing is, I never tripped before. I would really love to trip to see if I could feel something but I don't even know anymore. I realized that maybe the reason why I want to trip alone more so than tripping with my friends is because of the fact that I might have SPD. Then again, self-diagnosis are pretty looked down upon from many. Even so, if I were able to feel the love love out of LSD or so, I'll be happy. It's definitely something, and that's definitely better than nothing at all, which is how I feel right now. I don't smoke weed anywhere as much as before. I see no cravings for it and when I do smoke it, it actually makes me feel even more "out of it". I don't feel connected at all. But the weird thing is, "schizoids" think a lot, right? I happen to think but my brain is really foggy and cloudy...

I actually do believe I think a lot but I thought a lot before than I do now. The reason why? My brain feels really fogged and cloudy and I don't know how to really deal with that. I also seem to suffer from OCD like tendencies and more other symptoms of depression.
I really don't know if it's depression or SPD now, but I definitely know it's something.

Oh, I trust you. I totally know what you mean. I hope that wasn't the message I got across that I could find out a way to "man up" up and out of it. I've been suffering from it for a while. You know, when I think about it, I probably would want it to be depression over schizoid personality disorder, but either way, I'd rather not have either :/
Has anyone ever dealt with this before?
