A schizoid is not (yet) psychotic whereas a schizophrenic is.
A schizoid, however, shows many if not most of the behavior signs of a schizophrenic including abnormalities in social conduct, disinterest in socializing, disorganized thinking, flat affect and odd mannerism.

A schizoid is variously thought of as suffering from a personality disorder (category C) or as suffering from a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. If classified as a personality disorder, it's usually considered one of the most severe personality disorders.

A schizoid is basically a philosophical zombie with no volition that just stares at walls all day. A schizophrenic has mood-incongruent psychosis and negative symptoms that are a bit similar to the schizoid.

schizoid is a type where there's low emotional energy, low emotional response and a true loner (someone who lives on their own) emotionally (or the lack of it).

schizophrenic is someone who has has strange/random thoughts that are delusional/delirious

there's also schizotypal which is avoidant personality

all 3 exhibit anti-social behavior (cant socialize), some are actively anti-social like schizophrenic/schizotypal, schizoid however is just passively anti-social(or better yet, can be asocial).

3 three are typically clustered together by people and even confused for one another due to outward similarities (doesnt mingle well with people), but they're all very different internally.

>schizoid (aloof/distant)
>schizophrenic ("crazy")
>schizotypal ("shy")

Schizoid has negative symptoms for schizophrenia. Negative symptoms = what schizophrenic person loses. Positive = what schizophrenic person gains(delusions, hallucinations, etc).
Read Masterson's Disorders of the Self if you're more curious. McWilliams' Psychoanalytic Diagnosis is another great one.
I was wondering why all the threads are garbage and I realized I was on /sci/.
