Detailed explanation of the symptoms, tests and treatment methods of schizoid personality disorder. Understand whether you have a split personality tendency and provide effective adjustment methods and self-improvement skills.
What is a split personality?
Schizoidal personality disorder (also known as cowardice and inferiority personality) is a relatively rare personality disorder, which is manifested as individual social difficulties, extreme introversion, and deviations in behavior and thinking. People with this personality tend to have the following characteristics:
- Like to be alone, avoid social activities, often without real friends, and don’t care much about other people’s opinions.
- Being introverted, easily feeling shy, lacking self-confidence and initiative.
- Lack of interest in real life and tend to immerse yourself in your own fantasy world.
- Show a cold attitude and often avoid competition and conflict.
- Thinking, language and behavior often seem weird, somewhat different from ordinary people.
While these characteristics may be misleading, it does not mean that people with such personality disorders are mentally ill. Their real perception and judgment are usually normal, but they have difficulties in social and life adaptation, and lack motivation and interest.
Do you have a tendency to be a split personality?
If you want to know if you may have a split personality tendency, you can self-assess on the following questions:
- Do you often feel uneasy or worried about things that are not related to you for no reason?
- Do you act extremely nervous or afraid of contacting people in unfamiliar occasions?
- Are you interested in strange or supernatural phenomena, such as perspective, telepathy, etc.?
- Are there any abnormal behavior or appearance characteristics, such as inappropriate dress, strange words and deeds, etc.?
- Do you sometimes speak off topic, use inaccurate words, and express your meanings clearly?
- Do abnormal perceptual experiences such as illusions and hallucinations often occur?
- Is it lacking emotional warmth, it is difficult to establish deep relationships with others, and it is difficult to express care with relatives?
- Are you almost always active alone, with few close friends or social circles except for the necessary interactions in work or life?
If you find yourself having a similar tendency in five or more questions, you are likely to have a tendency to split personality.
How to treat and adjust the schizoidal personality?
Although there are currently no specific drugs that can cure schizoid personality disorder, this does not mean that there is no possibility of improvement. In fact, many people with this personality tendency have high intelligence levels and are even able to achieve outstanding achievements in the fields of art, philosophy, or science. Therefore, if you are facing this problem, don’t feel hopeless or inferior. Only by facing it bravely and actively adapting to yourself can you move towards a better life. Here are some effective ways to improve yourself:
Cultivate interests
Cultivating interests not only helps relieve boredom, but also enriches personal life and makes life more motivated and fun. The following methods may help you:
- Improving cognition: Start with self-analysis, identify and utilize your strengths and potentials, and clarify your life goals. Remember, life is like a wonderful journey, step out of your comfort zone and enjoy every moment of growth.
- Actively participate in social practice: Create opportunities to get in touch with more social activities, broaden your horizons, and increase your understanding of society. This will help to enhance your interests and vitality.
- Join the interest group: Find like-minded people to communicate and learn together, cultivate new hobbies, and enhance the depth and breadth of interests.
Adjust yourself
Although schizoidal personality often originates from childhood and is difficult to change, you can still make improvements by adjusting your own mindset and behavior:
- Increase social interaction: Don’t worry too much about other people’s evaluations, take the initiative to contact others, and gradually overcome inferiority and timidity. Through positive interactions, you can gain the understanding and support of others, and thus build deeper friendships.
- Change negative ideas: Abandon those negative ideas, such as ‘destiny determines everything’, and firmly believe that you can change the status quo through hard work. As the old saying goes, ‘Nothing is difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are determined.’ It is not out of reach to change your destiny through hard work.
- Pets: Keeping pets is an effective way to make you feel caring and warmth. Interacting with pets can enhance your sense of responsibility, relieve interpersonal loneliness, and gradually improve your indifference to others.

Don’t be inferior because of individual differences, face up to you and try to change yourself, life still has unlimited possibilities.
