>>33362431I hear ya. And no worries, I'm not asking for you to bare your particular soul. I ask because I genuinely think that developing a schism as a consequence of great suffering or traumatic events is a normal reaction for a human, fucked up as it may seem. It's a logical thing for the mind to do. If humans constantly failed someone catastrophically or killed them inside, the sanest course of action would be avoidance to the point of losing all emotional enthusiasm for connection. It actually makes a lot of sense.
What I don't understand is why it should be regarded as a disorder or mental ailment when it's a logical and predictable consequence. To me a disorder has to be bereft of causal logic, or at least have environmental influence.
For example what's stopping schizoid personality from being just regarded as a different flavor of PTSD? Why bother designating it as a specific personality disorder?
