Schizoid personality = voluntary social withdrawal, limited emotional expression, content with social isolation. Hence, our patient who has never been sexually active and keeps in minimal contact with his family, but seems not to be depressed about lack of connection. He also shows minimal emotion when congratulated on his new job.
Other answers:
Antisocial = disregard for the rights of others with lack of remorse. Involves criminality, impulsivity, hostility, and manipulation. History of conduct disorder as a child.
Avoidant = hypersensitive to rejection and criticism, socially inhibited, timid, feelings of inadequacy. In contrast to schizoid personality, avoidant personality desires relationships with other people, but is so afraid that people won't like them that they have trouble forming relationships.
Borderline = unstable mood and interpersonal relationships, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, self-mutilation, suicidality.
Schizotypal = eccentric appearance, odd beliefs or magical thinking, interpersonal awkwardness; included on the schizophrenia spectrum.
