the schizoid spectrum

The schizoid spectrum refers to a range of experiences characterized by a preference for solitude, emotional detachment, and limited desire for social interactions. Individuals may feel comfortable being alone and often prioritize internal thoughts over external relationships. While some may experience these traits without distress, others might find them challenging or indicative of certain personality or mental health conditions. Recognizing this spectrum helps in understanding diverse social and emotional styles without pathologizing those who prefer solitude or minimal social engagement.
