Let me tell you, with all the things that have gone on in my head due to my BPD...It's nothing really compared to the things that are going through my head while dealing with this boy.
"erratic attempts to avoid real or imagined abandonment."
Do you think think that there is even a way to pretend to be able to make him not leave?
I try real hard you know...
Gah.
Does anyone here know very much about people with Schizoid?

Yes! Well said destinydell!
I have Schizoid personality disorder and the worst thing you could do is try and make him reassure you about how much he likes/wants you. Truth be told, I doubt he will be able to care for you as much as you care for him and certainly not 'need' you.
Yet if you enjoy each others company keep it at that, do NOT force him into discussions about intimate things.
Well, I can't really say anything else because destinydell posted so well.

Take care xx

Hiya, I was in the exact predicament as you are i am bpd/bipolar being assessed at the moment, but I met a guy with schizophrenia, and i can't explain but i felt comfortable around him, and could be my mad self. However where do i start? I met him knew him around, and he told me he woz schizophrenic ( now he says he was diagnosed at 15) but he was a drug dealer a few years and still abuses them (as i do i admit) now i blame them for making me mentally worse.
But anyway i hung round there to chill and basically get drunk and sometimes get more trashed. But first night i met him we woke up in that morning after situation. He was more into me at first, and when i told him that i loved him a few weeks later i think he freaked out, i cared about him and he didnt understand me.
Anyway what i am sayin is you need to be emotionally strong to be with someone like this, and i wasnt. I freaked him out and cant remember it but cut myself in front of him i was trashed. He used to text me saying the person (he has a name for him) was trying to get him and was freaking out.

Trust me i think it is scary for a person with schizophrenia to trust anyone and that is why you should be careful. I wont see him again bcuase with my bpd i need to feel wanted sometimes and saught attention from someone he knows (get drugs off), but what can i say you cant trust anyone!!!!!
not even myself
