I'm a 26 year old woman, and I've had Schizoid Personality "Disorder" for as long as I can remember. All it means is that I'm an extreme introvert. I don't believe at all that this should be classified as a "disorder", as I'm perfectly content with being alone. Perhaps the only distressing aspect is the lack of motivation (as is any other emotion), as this makes it difficult for me to escape my under-achiever rut. I work solitary night shifts to avoid my coworkers as much as possible, and don't want friends or family - there's nothing wrong with this. And another thing I take issue with in this article is the suggestion that Schizoids are "naiive" - I know a few other Schizoids from online forums, and I can say we're quite a cynical and self-aware bunch, much more so than the general population from my observation, so I don't know what evidence you're basing this claim on.
