Schizoid Personality Disorder is completely different than Schizophrenia.

Edit: Or maybe he was just quoting your post as in "I share these things" and describing Dynam0's points as SPD. Because what you listed def does not sound like SPD.

Edit 2:
- Pretty much everything that Dynam0 said.
- My ideal image for myself is female and it feels that I cannot adequately express myself otherwise. I do fine on forums/skype because I am able to use female avatars. The problem is that I don't necessarily 'feel' female even though living out the rest of my life as male just seems lonely and depressing. Social anxiety has prevented me from working up the courage to seek out a professional or tell any of my family.
- Have probably had some sort of chronic mild depression since I was 13 (though I have never gone in for a diagnosis). Likely due to above problem.
- There are very few people IRL who share the same major interests that I do. Can make socializing extremely difficult.

Apparently I'm a hypochondriac, so everything.

Nice guess though but think between the lines ~ ~ ~ ~ schizoid is so goddamn general and easy to attach to things. It's like distinguishing all cakes as "cake" instead of "devil's food" or "caramel coffee cake" or "cheese cake".

I wasn't saying that the issues I quoted from you is synonymous with schizoid personality disorder, I know that those problems that you listed is nothing like schizoid personality disorder; I was listing my issues and the ones I've quoted from your (and Dynamo's) posts are the issues that I've had. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

This is pretty spot on, always feeling like multitasking no matter what i do is essential to maximizing the amount of stuff i get done day in and day out, whether it's videogames + youtube or schoolwork and excessive masturbation

i also hate the idea that humans are supposed to spend a third of their life sitting in bed wasting away sleeping so i don't sleep

[Poison-]

not sleeping is bad for u

[top]

insomnia like a motherfucker
I love every genre of music. (seriously it's abnormal like waaaat)
I love almost all ffr files. when i played ffr there was probably 1% of songs I didn't like. I was and still am the exact opposite of xxMidnightXXxxX

i tend to want to pry into peoples minds, like...(how do i explain this )
I have to know why somebody does something, i have to know why they have certain habits, why their humor is the way it is. Basically I want to know every detail.
ask Tosh, oh he knows.

it's definitely not a good trait because I come off like such an asshole in the process.
also i tend to come off like an asshole most of the time. I'm kind of pretentious.

[Pseudo Enigma]

actually you know what, I don't think there's something wrong with me when it comes to my nocturnal sleeping pattern. I think there's something wrong with everyone else forcing me to live by their standards. Word.

top: "Hey let's go to this party!"
me: "idk I'm not feeling it."
top: "Why not?"
me: "Well there is going to be a lot of people and shit. Plus I'm not huge into drinking or smoking weed."
top: "Why don't you like drinking?"
me: "The taste. Then there was that time you had to pretty much babysit me because I drank way too much. I still feel guilty about that."
top: "That's understandable. What about smoking do you not like?"
me: "Makes me feel like I'm not completely in control of myself. Also smells terrible."
top: "Dumb but whatever."
me: "You know you can just go without me."
top: "I don't want to."
me: *oh god dammit*

It's unnatural to be human and nocturnal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm

[Litodude]

no not rly lol and a circadian rhythm only emphasizes the 24hr bioclock, not that we are forced to adhere to the light/night cycle

[korny]

That 24 hour bio clock is what 96% of what people adhere to, which usually doesn't make being a free running sleeper very advantageous as you get older and try to establish habits surrounding some sort of work schedule essential to ones need to provide for themselves is more or less what I'm saying.

[DarknessXoXLight]

- i'm really annoying.
- i'm also annoyed by everything. (to the point i cry)
- insomniac as fuk. (hey lol)
- i eat like once a day if at all.
- i seek isolation from all human contact as often as possible.
- can't seem to get oni. (rofl)
- i think about killing myself way too often.

who cares hah.

Then it's not unnatural, it's just not what is socially accepted as the norm.

and thus my harsh life begins.

edit: I get around this by sleeping after school though. Seems to be working.

[Litodude]

you're in high school aren't you? 7AM classes aren't healthy for anyone

[korny]

Melatonin's main job in the body is to regulate night and day cycles. Darkness causes the body to produce more melatonin, which signals the body to prepare for sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to prepare for being awake, so you could say that it is a bit unnatural to be nocturnal given this fact. I'm as nocturnal as the next guy, jus' sayin.

but what if we're nocturnal because our body doesn't produce melatonin properly, or at a different rate?

I've always wondered why my sleep schedule always shifts back to a nocturnal one if I have no commitments that would keep me on a schedule. If it's unhealthy, I wonder why my body naturally shifts to it.

[Trogdor!!!!]

I've always noticed that when I'm not partaking in school (during the summer, winter breaks, etc.) that I inevitably adjust to a nocturnal sleep schedule (going to bed around 11-12 A.M. and waking up around 7-8 P.M. is actually my current schedule).

[PaperclipGames]

It is an unnatural thing. It is fairly easy to realize that humans are supposed to operate during daytime; e.g. we cannot smell or hear well and we can't see very well at night either. We're simply a lot less efficient at night.

The main things I think that causes a shift to a nocturnal pattern is simple procrastionation ("meh, don't wanna go to bed yet") and the act of sitting behind a computer screen for too much, which does produce light and hence can confuse your brain's clock.

I used to sleep terribly, and I have vastly improved this by simply turning off all my lights at some point and putting the brightness of my computer on very low before bedtime. It actually works pretty well for me.
