The only personality disorders I've been diagnosed with are schizoid and schizotypal - different pdocs. My personality testing came out consistent with schizotypal.
It sounds as if you're comfortable with who you are. Are you happy? If you are, it's definitely more a type than a disorder. Disorders are for when it's causing you distress.
I definitely find that social situations are incredibly draining and I find renewal in alone time. And I always feel a bit out of step with the rest of the world. But that only bothers me sometimes. Other times I'm ok with it.
Still... my happiest times were those rare and treasured periods in my life when I felt like I belonged. So maybe I'm not *really* schizoid at all.
