If you feel like this is something that needs to be addressed/changed, you may not have schizoid pd and it could be something more along the lines of social anxiety.
Well, I've been this way for a long time now, but I never recognized it as a problem or even as a thing I did until I told my dad I like being alone and he said, "Yeah, maybe too much." And then I realized perhaps I wasn't normal. But it's never been a problem for me, it's just what I liked to do.
