In reading the material on SPD I was able to isolate some sources in my own case: 1. my father had it (he died when I was 15), 2. parents not loving type, 3. growing up very isolated on a farm, and 4. I was an only child. I wonder if it helps to know this, it makes me feel more like a "normal" person than am abnormal one? So for me it is just going through life and avoiding people who will not like a person with SPD.

We're all normal people. It just some of us are either wired differently, had bad experiences and maladaptive responses, or both. I think some therapy approaches try to find the reason behind the things that trouble us and/or others and help us find solutions. Or something like that, I've never gone through that myself. Do you think you'd want to find a way to "get better" or find ways to better cope with the things you deal with? Maybe both? Maybe just finding the reason is comforting on its own, like how you've discovered some of your reasons.

Yup I hear you. Many Schizoid people share that view. If something works for you, why change it? Sure we are different, but that's not always a bad thing. Who else is going to take the jobs that require little to no human contact? Like you said, like being left handed. It's pretty nice to just find out why we are the way we are.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
