Why Schizoids Don’t Miss People... And Why That’s Not a Problem

Many of us have been in a situation where someone says, “I missed you,” and we feel nothing in response. We might say it back because it’s expected, but deep down, we know it isn’t true. It’s not about disliking the person... we just don’t experience that feeling.

This isn’t about lacking empathy. We can care about others in our own way, but the emotional mechanism that makes people long for someone’s presence doesn’t seem to be active in us. No matter how much time passes, there’s no sense of emotional absence.

For many of us, the idea of "missing" someone feels foreign because our emotional energy is directed inward rather than outward. Our stability comes from within, not from external relationships. We may enjoy conversations or find people interesting, but that doesn’t mean we form lasting emotional bonds.

Some of us may think about people and analyze our interactions with them without feeling a need for their physical presence. Once the interaction ends, it remains a mental construct rather than an emotional attachment. Social experiences are compartmentalized, existing separately from our inner world, with little ongoing engagement once they conclude.

Masking plays a role in this as well. Many of us know the appropriate social responses and go through the motions when necessary. Saying “I missed you too” is often just part of this social script, not an expression of actual sentiment. Attachment tends to feel like an intrusion rather than a comfort, and without attachment, there’s no reason to miss someone.

Society expects emotional reciprocity, and when we don’t provide it, misunderstandings arise. Others might assume we are indifferent or cold when, in reality, we simply process things differently. To avoid social friction, many of us end up masking, pretending to feel something that isn’t there.

Does this mean we’re missing something essential? Not necessarily. While some people thrive on emotional connection, solitude and internal consistency feel natural to us. Trying to force ourselves to miss others or desire connection the way neurotypicals do is like trying to breathe underwater... it’s not how we function.

Not missing people isn’t a flaw. It doesn’t mean we’re broken or that we lack empathy. It just means we engage with the world in a different way. As long as we are comfortable with how we navigate relationships, that’s what matters. If others struggle to understand this, it’s just another difference in how people experience life.

suspected NPD + PPD culture is that if a post (on any social media) doesn’t get any attention I’ll mentally punish myself over it and get paranoid that anyone who viewed the post automatically hates me or is a stalker

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.

People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.

Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.

“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”

“Don’t let your disorder define you”

Okay but do you support the people whose disorders do define them?

Do you support people with the chronic illnesses who have had to develop whole lives around their conditions? Do you support the intellectually disabled people whose whole way of thinking is defined by their disorder? Do you support the people with personality disorders who literally have a disorder as a personality? Do you support the autism/ADHD people whose disorder you can’t separate from who they are? Do you support the DIDOSDD people who have multiple definitions of themselves because of their disorder?

Or are you just saying that because a disorder defining someone means you can’t ignore it.

[low-empathy-advocacy]

don't say "empathy" when you mean "helping others."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "moral values."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "taking people's problems into account."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "stand up for people who can't stand up for themselves."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "sense of justice."

don't say "empathy" when you mean "doing right things."

[ppd-culture-is]

Stop saying differently abled when you mean disabled.

Stop saying gifted burnt out kid when you mean disabled.

Stop saying the c-slur when you mean disabled.

Stop saying 'super power' when you mean disabled.

Stop saying senile when you mean disabled.

Stop saying special needs when you mean needs for someone who is disabled.

Start saying disabled when you mean disabled.

Disability isn't, nor will it ever be, a dirty word. The only reason you think it's dirty is because you walked on it with muddy shoes.
