Disclaimer
A warning before entering.
This site might, well actually, WILL disturb not just our sensible readers out there, but a whole lot bunch of you…
I am not warning you of crude contents or anything of the like (thought it could be, sporadically, that I describe a crude situation with crude words, you wouldn’t me to asepticize it would you? That would be CNN.com or worse FOXNEWS.com, but certainly not here…).
But I am warning you that you should enter with an open mind. Some of your beliefs are going to be abused, your way of thinking challenged and overall you will be put off-balance by some of the content here.
Will it be by naïve honesty, too much insight into my personal life, blunt comments from my part on religion, politics or society alike? Or simply because as a schizoid I tend to think differently and it will not fit into your mold? Whatever the cause is, your reading might become disturbing. In that case you always have the choice to stop and return to the comfort of your mold own truth, or keep reading… You might learn something, none of the least being opening your mind to other possibilities…
On the bright side, since I am supposedly “suffering from a disorder“, if you feel uncomfortable reading me, it means YOU are perfectly “normal” (whatever normal means).
The “Me, Myself and I” syndrome:
How annoying is it when pompous people are always like “ME… blah blah blah”, “I… Blah blah blah”, “MYSELF… blah, blah, blah”? Like they know it all right?
Well, trust ME when I tell you it bothers ME as much as you. Sadly that’s what’s going to happen here… I am putting MYSELF forward! How exquisitely extrovert of ME! (little introvert humor there).
Trust ME, I don’t like it, and it is definitively not a trait of MY personality. But how could I pretend generalizing my ramblings with a “we”? I am a schizoid of many, and what I will share thru the blog are just MY feelings of it, driven by MY life, MY experiences, and MY lack of emotions. How could I ever pretend to be some kind of a voice for all schizoids, introverts or people with personality “disorders”? Now THAT will be really pompous of ME! If “they” want to talk, let them make a stand and express themselves! (Another little introvert humor there, and that is the last time I emphasize that).
Seriously, I chose the “Me, MYSELF and I” syndrome over anything else that could remotely make believe I speak on behalf of any group. It’s just MY story, and I just happen to be schizoid. Take my word for it.
Don’t take it personally:
I will bash all and any: Christians, Muslims, Jewish, blue, red, black, white, rainbow, gals, guys, young, elder… I can’t fathom the meaning of “politically correct” (and it is not because I am French). Don’t take it personally; it’s not that I don’t like you… It’s just that I don’t care about you… (Not an ounce of introvert humor there, nope, that is 100% schizoid humor now).
Know the context:
I think you need to understand the context. Not thinking you understand it, but really understand it… So I urge you to read on the ABOUT page and brush up what you think you know about SPD (Schizoid Personality Disorder), the PERSONALITY DISORDERS page might be a good start, but don’t trust me, please I am not a reliable source, so dig in, surf, make up your own opinion.
Medical advice, help and the like:
To those who hit this site while searching for information, help or advises on Personality Disorders broadly or SPD in particular, this site might fulfill the information part, or at least ramp you up to sites that will thru the links, but I can’t stress it enough: I’AM NOT A DOCTOR, I have no business giving advises. Hell I don’t even do “groups” so let alone support groups!
I can only share my own experience. And my own experience is, if you or someone close to you suffer or think of suffering from a personality disorder: You’re on your own… Hum, ok, I realize that came out wrong (you have to understand that for me, being on my own, is actually a really good thing).
What I mean is try to figure a few things by yourself (is it just post puberty, is it the 40 crisis ringing at your door…) Take some time to reflect on things. And if you really need help, seek the right kind. The best doctors are neither on TV shows nor putting ads in the paper to help you at 2$/min over the phone… See! You are a bit on your own, after all, and that puts you in a unique position to step back, calm down and think. Take that time, don’t rush towards charlatans, and find the proper medical help you need (if any).
Note: As a matter of fact I won’t consider seeking medical help myself, since, well, let’s face it, I am not scared (why would I, since I am not sick…) Yet again, it’s a schizoid talking… (You should really brush-up on SPD now).
