Anger

Repressed anger erupts

As schizoids, we present ourselves in society as non-communicative, as being absent, shy, and perhaps even weak.

Eventually something may happen where we should assert our position within the group..

But we do not do it. We are not interested in doing it. And so we entrench the opinion that society has of us.

Certain people may take advantage of this, by making us the focus of jokes and humiliation.

The more vicious ones may even try and boost their self-esteem at our expense.

.Yet still we pretend that nothing has happened.

However, the schizoid response to this may vary.

Some will tolerate everything, and end up leaving. While others will stay and defend themselves.

Regardless of the response, and despite the fact that the schizoid may not show it, the situation affects him/her deeply.

This is a time when we require allies, but we do not have any.

Our lack of anger makes us defenceless and this may lead to us becoming victims.

Sudden fury

The pure schizoid expresses no visible emotions – neither anger, nor joy.

The medium or low schizoid displays subtle emotions.

The latter, and especially schizoids with some avoidant (those who feel anxiety in the social relations)

traits seem unaffected by social failure -

they don’t react, and so it seems they are not affected by them..

But they are deeply sensitive, and their sense of humiliation brews within them.

They compensate by having fantasies of revenge.

But resentment accumulates over time until, suddenly, without warning their fury is unleashed –

almost disproportionately ….

Those present will be shocked, and wonder whether this person, who appeared unable to hurt a fly,

was the same one they knew.

Schizoids who find themselves in this situation, should learn from it,

find ways to release their anger more appropriately,

and protect themselves from similar events in the future by defending their rights,

and seeking social allies since their failure to stand up for themselves will merely result

in further unpleasant situations.
