I find this too kecanoe, I just ask people questions about themselves and how they are feeling because I know that people like to talk about themselves, even if I cant make myself relate to what they are telling me. Its not that I don't care per se... but I'm generally not really fussed with whether people are appreciating the weather or not lol.

I have been diagnosed Schizoid amongst other things and I am nearly a text book example apparently as i fit nearly all the criteria for it (you only have t match a set number of criteria for a diagnosis). Looking back over my life with my therapist, I have certainly had schizoid traits from a very very young age, as young as i can really remember (4 or so certainly by the time i was 6). I am not very good at making relationships and even worse at maintaining the ones i do have... I don't think that will ever change. i highly doubt i'll ever manage an intimate relationship with anyone. I don't know that I would say I ever feel a sense of loneliness either but i do sometimes feel a sense of longing that things were different, i had a relationship once because i felt it was expected of me but i felt nothing at all.
