Do people that identify themselves as "Asexual"relates their Asexuality to the schizoid personality disorder?
Question:
I don't want or need a definition, - I’ve read pages and pages on the topic since I knew about the “schizoid personality disorder”, and I’ve understand quite well what it is.
What I would like to know about is a person feelings’ towards his/her asexuality, how they came to realize/ suspect/accept that they were asexual?
Did they try to find a reason that justify their sexual aversion? Did they related their asexuality to the schizoid personality disorder if they were aware of it existence? Did they think that, by trying sex, they could know if they were asexual or not? Did they were confuse and worried, 'cause they can't conciliate themselves with an extremely "Sexualized" world?
Did they were afraid of never having children –as I am- ‘cause they can’t stand the emotive and physical intimacy that implies a romantic relationship?
This questions anguish me, as I was anguish when I didn’t know how to give a definition to my personality…
It seems that finding an answer to a question implies further interrogatives, now I know that I’m schizoid – I still haven’t had a diagnosis but I know myself. Finding out by chance about SPD is one of the best things ever happened to me…
Finally I can conciliate myself with the way I am knowing that it’s not wrong, it’s just different way of being.
Answers:
Ok, I'm asexual and have been since birth. I experimented when I was younger out of curiosity. Its just not for me. What other people describe as this wonderful thing was really disgusting to me. I enjoy human friendships, just not sex or lip kissing.
I wish I could feel what other people claim to feel, but I don't. Sex simply doesn't have the draw for me that it does with other people. It never has.
Part of my problem is aspergers syndrome. AS and SPD have similar symptoms, but they are very different so make sure you have the right one.
With AS, a common thread is asexuality but it is not a rule. Some aspies marry and have kids.
Hope that helps.
The first thing you might do is to look up the word asexual in a good dictionary. It sounds like you have made up your mind about how the word "asexual" relates to (or doesn't relate to) any type of personality disorder, Schizoid or otherwise. You may self-diagnose if you chose, but you may chose to do a little more research in to the "problem" that you have decided to diagnose yourself with.
I noticed that you did not present a question, perhaps your just looking for validation of your statement.
