Hi Michael,
I suffer from similar problems and have also been on ADs for many years (mainly tricyclics which had no effect).
As Mystia explained, certain personality disorders can be considered less severe forms of schizophrenia.
If you have always suffered from these difficulties, perhaps you suffer from a personality disorder. It is difficult for people with personality disorders to know how to explain what is wrong, since the difficulties are usually so much a part of them. Arriving at conclusions based on observing other people is somehow more difficult than it seems. A person can feel, for instance, that he is extremely "shy" or depressed, but this may be part of the underlying disorder rather than typical social phobia or depression.
Have you discussed your assumption with your pdoc? I think that would be the best way to begin to understand what the problem is and what the treatment should be.
Take care,
Kari.
