My best friend was telling me on the phone that his little brother is convinced that we were both schizoids. I was unfamiliar with the term, but now that I've gotten this, I suppose he could be right. Also, I find nothing wrong with it.

Quick Summary:
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived by others as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."
Symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder:
Weak interpersonal skills
Difficulty expressing anger, even when provoked
"Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations
Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged
Low sexual desire
Unresponsive to praise or criticism

I almost never get angry. I don't see the point in getting angry about things, though. For example, one of my friends shot an airsoft pistol in my apartment, breaking the mercury strip in a sprinkler, and ruining all of my stuff, and putting me out of a home. I didn't even chastise him for it. I said "Nice shot" and we carried on being friends. He helped me clean up and move, why get mad?
If people start to raise their voice at me at work, where I work at a gas station, I just go monotone and repeat myself while staring through their eyes. I don't look at them, I glaze over and look through them.
Usually creeps people out enough to drop it.
I'm almost 24, and I've never been on a date. Neither has my buddy mentioned above. I'm not a virgin, some chick that I found to be fairly nice but highly unattractive got me drunk, got everybody else out of the house, handcuffed me, and took me by force. There's the point of no return once you start getting wood even though you're not attracted to the person...
I wasn't trying to save myself for marriage (at the not being on a date yet rate I'm going, that would be never), I was just trying to make it special. Well, handcuffs are a hell of a special story. Blah humbug. Every girl I've ever fallen for (in the last 10 years) has been in a steady relationship the whole time (with a douche) or turned lesbian. I've lost at least 3 potential mates to other women.

I'm not a perfect definition of a schizoid, but it does help put a name to some of my attributes. And due to the King Crimson song, I feel honored actually. But there's more that makes me than these tests can tell.
I'd really like to be studied.
