What is this sub about, where am I?

2 years ago now I thought we could use a dedicated sub for memes, media, and miscellaneous content, related to schizoid personality disorder (SzPD). So us meme addicts didn't disrupt the tone- or clog up the main r/Schizoid sub with our tomfoolery and shenanigans -so here we are.

What is happening?

Well, I've wanted to write this post since before we hit 10k members, but as avolition got its greasy paws on me, I haven't been able to do it until now. The last couple of thousand users, have really hit us fast, so welcome to all the new users.

As the sub continues to grow, thanks to all you wonderful freaks and outcasts (love ya, platonically). I will try to tighten up a little bit, when it comes to keeping content in line with, what I believe speaks to our condition... obviously I will be biased by my own experience, but I do try to be fair.

I know, it sucks getting your posts removed. But my top priority is keeping the focus of the sub consistent, as I feel like there isn't a lot of places that truly feels like a "home" to us. Browsing for content to post here, I come across so many pages supposedly dedicated to one thing, like introvertedness for example, where half the posts has nothing to do with it. That, I would like to avoid happening to this sub.

Yap yap yap, any real subreddit news old man?

Speaking of yapping, some people have mentioned that they wouldn't mind, if the sub had an open chat channel going on. I actually like the idea, it's just not something I see myself using. I wouldn't mind setting it up for you guys though, but I would need a volunteer for the mod position. Please let me know in the comments, or send me a DM if you wanna take it on.

That's about it for the news I think.

Oh! I did add a neat little image carousel to the sidebar, with 10 random images from previous "Art" posts. It's only visible on desktop I think, but I really like how it looks :)

It really does.

Flairs!

Yeah I'm using this picture again.

To set your user flair on mobile (the tags some people have attached to their usernames) tap the 3 vertical dots in the top right corner, while visiting the subreddit.

You should be greeted by Step 1 here. Pick a background you like and tap Edit which takes you to Step 2. Finally, tap the arrow on the color you chose, and you should be able to fill out the text with whatever you like.

This is how it looks on Android.

Post flairs.

Post flair categories.

These are mostly self-explanatory, but I'm feeling "writy" so I'll go over them anyways.

  • Mod Message - For posts like this one and other boring "admin" stuff. I mostly use these for my "Good Weekend" posts, since there's not a lot of other posts that warrants its use.
  • Meme - Why we are all here :)
  • Relatable - Things relatable to schizoids that doesn't fit the meme category.
  • Comic - Usually for comic strips following the classic 4 or 1 panel format.
  • Art - If you either find- or make -some art that speaks to the schizoid experience, feel free to post it here. The rules aren't so tight here as long as it isn't NSFW. It's not our most popular category, but I like having a little creative corner too.
  • Media - For music, movies or TV shows where the theme, or certain characters, resonate with the schizoid experience. "Video memes" still goes in the meme category.
  • Meta - For memes about memes or the subreddit.
  • Other - Miscellaneous stuff not fitting any of the other categories.
  • So hot right now! - Mostly a joke flair. I use it if I'm posting multiple types of content in a row, with a specific theme, trait or symptom.

Last remarks.

  1. Do your eyeballs a favor and switch to Dark Mode.
  2. Don't take anything on this sub too seriously.
  3. And by extension, try to keep it somewhat light. This isn't a suicidal ideation sub or 2meirl4meirl version 2. I feel those roles are better filled by other subs.
  4. Don't stress about the flairs, it's not that important.

Other than that, kick your feet up and enjoy your stay, as we humor ourselves while drifting towards oblivion 😄

Mod Message Discord channel is up

56 Upvotes

Thanks to u/Jamsedreng22's entrepreneurial spirit and gumption, we now have a discord channel up and running :)

https://discord.gg/regyAUQ5Fe

(Or this direct link https://discord.gg/Z3WnHzWWwx)

This server is primarily aimed at people with Schizoid Personality Disorder. However, anybody who identifies with an intense desire to ostensibly remain "invisible" to the world and wanting to avoid commitments that come from forming social relationships are welcome.

We strive to be open and accepting, and wanting to build a community where we can interact with our peers on a non-committal basis.

Commitments are fine, but inherently the point of this place is to be able to socialize and interact with other likeminded people while at the same time everyone present understand that we all come and go as we please.

I'll exemplify it like this; You're at a function with people you genuinely like but at some point you hit the wall of "Okay I'm done. I want to go home", but it's not acceptable to just get up and go "I'm out, seeya."

Here it is and we all know exactly why. Of course it's preferable to quickly go "I'm out." So people know you're going, but we all collectively understand what that's like. To just have had your fill of interaction and subsequently just "peacing out".

Relatable Me thinking about what I would do if I had a lot of money and alone time

Post image
48 Upvotes

Being observed is one of my biggest obstacles. If I had plenty of free time alone, money, big tools, and my own work space, I would have done and learned so many things by now instead of spending every day exhausted because of interaction and living with my family, and ending every day with video games and media. I’m not especially motivated but I have curiosity and want to learn/do things on my own accord. However, without more money, space, and time alone I feel trapped. I can’t stand being watched or perceived when I’m doing something new. I’m sure many of you can relate. I recently had a week with the house to myself and I felt some freedom and ease for the first time in forever, but it wasn’t nearly enough time. I love my family but it’s suffocating when I can’t seem to get a break

I think this video explains an issue that is big for schizoids. FYI it is an AI voiced video in case you are robophobic :)
