Hi Fnordian,
please could you tell me everything you know about this. I want to find out everything I can, so tell me your sources please. I am intersted in this strange mixmatch of schiz and Ns. I'm just insatiable for knowledge and discussion about everthing to do with schizpd and Npds, not necassarily in relationship to eachother.

thanks!

In order for someone to receive a diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder, he or she must meet at least four of the following criteria:

* Neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, including being part of a family
* Almost always chooses solitary activities
* Has little, if any, interest in sexual experiences with another person
* Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities and rarely experiences strong emotions
* Lacks close friends or confidantes other than first-degree relatives
* Appears indifferent to praise or criticism
* Shows emotional coldness, detachment or flattened emotions

any of these criteria in an insignificant other would repel a narcissist. narcissists must be worshiped, and schizoids don't play that.

interestingly, if you do a google of "narcissist schizoid", you'll encounter a plethora of information linking the two pds. some even find there's not a whole lot of difference between the two.
