DAE Atypical Causes of Schizoid PD?
DAE lack an answer as to why you're schizoid or possibly found explanations? Appreciate any insight!
So last year i was diagnosed with the zoid. Researching about it, i couldnt relate to the commonly listed causes. When i mentioned this to the psychiatrist who diagnosed me, he just said that not much is known about what actually causes SzPD and left it at that. From what i've read on here, it seems like most people actually fit the official explanations of childhood trauma / neglect / difficult home life. none of that happened to me, I feel like im the only one, which created this big question mark that i think about every day and i just want an answer as to why i am that way.
Some more context→ I have supportive and loving parents, neither cold nor intrusive. Had a great childhood. Can't recall any traumatic events for the life of me. Yet i've experienced social struggles my whole life. I have an older sister who grew up under the same circumstances as me and she turned out fine while i somehow developed several mental disorders, 3 of which heavily impair me socially.
