“In essence, schizoid personality disorder is overtly characterized by social withdrawal, interpersonal detachment, solitariness in vocational and recreational choices, asexuality, idiosyncratic morality, and absentmindedness. Covertly, however, the schizoid individual is exquisitely sensitive, emotionally needy, acutely observant, creative, often perverse, and vulnerable to corruption. The avoidance of and the need for others, the callous persona and the inner sensitivity, and the absent-mindedness and vigilance are various facets of the same condition. The tension between these extremes is the heart of the schizoid pathology.”
Salman Akhtar, Quest for Answers: A Primer of Understanding and Treating Severe Personality Disorders

“Even those schizoid people who are confident of the superiority of their perceptions are not indifferent to the effect they may have in alienating others.”
Nancy McWilliams, Psychoanalytic Diagnosis: Understanding Personality Structure in the Clinical Process
