Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of emotional expression. People with schizoid personality disorder often have no interest in forming close relationships with others and prefer to be alone. They may also have difficulty expressing their emotions and may seem cold or unfeeling to others. Other options, such as schizotypal personality disorder, involve different symptoms such as odd beliefs or perceptual experiences.
