Employment solutions
1- Finding
employment
One
of the biggest problems schizoids face is finding employment
where they can function in
their own specific way,
without discomfort. . Their
discomfort generally arises because they are surrounded by people,
and are forced into being part of a team. No matter what type of work they’re involved in,
if they are surrounded by people, they are
going to experience problems.
Like
anyone else, the schizoid is compelled to work for financial reasons. In a work
situation,
the schizoid may experience the following:
---
He/she cannot tolerate the situation and leaves.
This
may happen frequently, and always for the same reason –
it is not the nature of the actual work that
is the problem,
but rather the
schizoid’s inability to be around people.
---
He/she decides to persevere, despite feeling uncomfortable.
However,
stress levels increase, leading to anxiety,
depression, and even
panic attacks...
Despite
these health warnings, the schizoid is compelled to stay for financial reasons.
Unfortunately,
staying merely leads to further health problems,
and it is advisable that he/she leaves as soon
as possible.
2- Criterion-1
Each
person has different limits of tolerance. In the workplace, the schizoid must be willing to tolerate
a moderate amount of
anxiety – but always within his/her limits.
Lack
of pressure in a working environment
is a dream that all
schizoids will pursue, even though they may never achieve it.

Criterion-2
If a particular position requires
someone with charisma, and the ability
to work with people,
then it is obviously
not suitable for a schizoid personality. Schizoids should rather apply
for positions which require their
specific skills or qualifications,
where they will be appreciated for
their ability to PERFORM their tasks
– and NOT for their
interpersonal skills.
4-Criterion-3
If social contact creates stress, then
you have to consider finding employment where you are involved
with objects or ideas, rather than with people.
5-Schizoid
hobbies
“Your work is your hobby. Your hobby
is your work” .

hobbies among schizoid personalities:
reading, internet,
all aspects of nature

animals, plants, countryside,

Also pets, travelling with a partner, anything involving children
and young students
and the physically or mentally handicapped.
