I've simply accepted isolation and alienation. The schizoid dynamics have made being a normal part of the community frustrating if not impossible.

oh so that's what that is. Thank you for this. I've been struggling with self isolation because of my desire to be understood with a huge fear of actually being known

I didn't know about this, but it's a problem that I have been struggling with a lot lately. It has made me feel really depressed, because I am lonely and I miss my friends, but I feel like I just don't fit in anywhere I go. And I keep unintentionally isolating myself from them because I'm scared that whenever we hang out they notice that I act weird. And then I feel guilty because it probably makes them think I'm not interested, when I really miss them. Thank you for sharing this!

schizoids dont have a desire to connect with people lol. youre thinking of avpd what is your reasoning for calling this behavior schioid dynamics when it doesnt match actual schizoid behavior at all

In conversations, I tend to be the listener. I always listen intently and carefully respond, but when it’s my turn to share, I am so withdrawn. I’m worried that letting myself be “vulnerable”, even with the smallest things, if I don’t get that reciprocal energy then I’m done and turn to protection mode.

yeah and it sucks to want connection, initiate it, then regret ever wanting it in the first place bc it's just too much overall

My issue is that whenever I’m around people they cause me so much anxiety and frustration that I just don’t want to give up my peace or degrade exiting relationships. It’s to the point that I wonder if I have autism but it wasn’t this bad when I was younger

I don’t have a fear of being intruded upon a fear of intruding because I always get rejected

devinISwonderless(i promise) :
you just described exactly me, i long so deeply to feel like i matter or feel important or connected to someone or something who understands me and i put so much into understanding everybody and making them feel welcome and important but when people actually put interest into me i feel wrong and feel like im gonna hurt them or hurt myself somehow and that the best thing to do is leave everyone alone and i withdraw myself despite wanting not to be alone then i repeat it

Everytime I actually share with other people and they feel bad for me, I stop sharing. I really try not to but I dont want to be off putting to others. My experiences are not something relatable to most people so I almost always feel alienated to some capacity.

Yes 😭 it feels as though I speak a foreign language no one understands, and other times it feels as though everyone else speaks a language I don’t understand. I’m permanently lost in translation :(

so what happens when you’re aware of the cycle and what caused it but you still keep doing it anyways 😀
