Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 19 years old female weighing 116 pounds and of height 6 feet 1 inches. I do not have any emotions except for smiling too much and sometimes feeling anger. I used to be a little violent. I do not feel love or sadness or guilt or jealousy. I do not miss my friends or my family while I stay far away for college. I do not feel anything when doctors say my mother might be suffering from cancer. While I was around 10, my grandfather passed away, and I said there is no need to cry as it is similar to a chicken dying. I do not feel shame or embarrassment. I sleep with my lights on and always with somebody in the room. As time is passing by, I am feeling that my humanity and empathy are disappearing. I feel there is no need for any relationship but I am not antisocial. Is this normal?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query carefully. First of all, I would like to reassure you that you are completely normal. Each individual is having a specific personality and you are having a schizoid personalitywhich is not so uncommon.Features like less emotional, less empathetic about others emotions, less sensitive, less requirement of friends, etc., are few characteristics of schizoid personality and it is completely normal. It will not impact your life in the future. Slowly when you will grow, your personality will become more mature to deal with and understand social emotions.
