Continuing the topic, we will talk about schizoids. The personality of a schizoid is distinguished by isolation, a tendency towards detached contemplation of life, emotional external stinginess with a richness of the inner world, fantasy life, mental originality. The behavior of a schizoid often looks rather pretentious, t .To. does not fit into the generally accepted norm: unusual reasoning, subjectivism, isolation, oddities in appearance, bizarre, sometimes sadistic fantasies, black humor may predominate, oppositional declarations, unusual hobbies, etc. The main defense mechanisms of a schizoid: intellectualization, withdrawal into the world of fantasy . This quality can characterize him as a mature person, capable of conscious self-control. With pronounced intellectualization, the schizoid abstracts from his feelings, separates himself from emotions, losing the ability to fully experience. At the same time, he gives the impression of being dry, insensitive, incapable of love and giving an emotional response. Because A schizoid “locks” his feelings in the recesses of his soul; it is difficult for him to express them, to “process them.” Accumulated feelings cause tension and anxiety, which is often somatized. Entering the world of fantasy, when used in moderation, contributes to partial emotional release, the disclosure and realization of creative potential. The peculiarities of thinking and personality of a schizoid must be turned to his benefit through the directed generation of original ideas, through creative embodiment, turning his “pretentiousness” into capital, doing scientific research, writing books, paintings, etc. There are known schizoids who earned money with their intellect (Anatoly Wasserman, Sergei Mavrodi). Among schizoids there are many people of science, travelers, archaeologists, programmers, cartographers. If a schizoid abuses escape into a fantasy world, this can lead to a loss of connection with reality, staying “on their own wavelength” instead of solving pressing problems. Avoiding problems gives rise to many fears, autism and subsequent maladjustment. When escaping into the world of illusions, a schizoid tends to replace real relationships with love at a distance, for inaccessible objects. Despite the dislike of planning his life, for better adaptation it would still be a good idea for a schizoid to learn time management management. For successful adaptation, a schizoid must take into account the characteristics of his psyche. Due to hypersensitivity, a schizoid quickly gets tired of people, communication, various noise, and in general gravitates towards solitary work, not constrained by boundaries, where he can show his originality and freedom of expression. Individualism to a moderate extent contributes to the formation of an inner core, when a person can rely on himself in decision making, has his own personal opinion. With hypertrophied individualism, a person loses the ability to hear others and objectively assess the situation, because there is only his opinion and the wrong one. The originality of judgments can turn into reasoning, fruitless reasoning on abstract topics, which has the only goal - to out-argue the interlocutor through constant objections without weighty arguments. Moderate obsession, directed in the right direction, can contribute to thoroughness, scrupulousness, and accuracy in work . This quality can be observed in developed autistic individuals. The degree of immersion in the problem under study, perfect accuracy, mastery are striking. With pronounced obsession, the schizoid “hangs” in a state of uncertainty and fruitless mental chewing gum, acquiring fears and neuroses. Factors leading to decompensation, nervous breakdown, maladaptation: hyperstimulation by communication, loud sounds, etc. external stimuli, - 2000/1500.
