schizoid 

Similar to a loner, but on a larger scale. They appear to be detached and emotionless, but they are still people. They have little regard for social norms. For more information, see loner.

*note: Schizoids are NOT schizophrenic. The similarity in name is because they basically mean 'split from society' and 'split up mind' respectively.

schizoid 

Schizoid personality disorder is a condition in which people avoid social activities and consistently shy away from interaction with others. People with the disorder are generally loners with a profound inability to connect with others and form personal relationships.

In some cases, a schizoid may want above all to integrate into the social world but when they do receive the attention, they suddenly prefer to be left alone.
I don't know... I mean I want a girlfriend so bad but I keep refusing one after the other. I can't seem to make up my mind.

Being a schizoid is really annoying. When I'm at home doing nothing, I want to be outside with my buddies. When I'm out with them, I want to be inside again.

Schizoid Pop 

A sub genre of Indie Pop that found its roots with a central Ohio band, twenty one pilots, in 2012. Combining elements of Pop, Rap and Indie, Schizoid Pop is usually sung in the form of urban and spoken word lyrics and focuses more on the content of the lyrics and the vocalist(s)' tone of voice than background instrumentation or other musical elements. Instrumentation differs from song to song, with instruments used ranging from synthesizers to ukuleles. Each piece features heavy symbolism and meaningful diction within its lyrics, most of which focus around defining the many functions and states of an individual's mental behavior/emotional reaction(s) to certain situations. It can be seen as a fusion of synth-driven selections of lyrical uplifts.
The duo that is twenty one pilots has earned widespread applause for their energetic live sets and distinctive fusion of piano-driven schizoid pop and lyrical uplift.

Schizoid Personality Disorder 

A personality disorder characterized by characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, secretiveness, and emotional coldness. SPD is unrelated to Schizophrenia. Like other personality disorders, symptoms must have a long-term effect upon the victim's life, often impairing social and emotional functioning. Sufferers of SPD tend to be seen as cold, distant, and not affectionate whatsoever. They have a difficult time expressing emotions, and are indifferent to praise and criticism. Individuals with SPD lack any desire for friendly or romantic relationships. These individuals often lack any desire for sex as well, and will most likely prefer masturbation because they are unable to tolerate the emotional or physical closeness required during sex.
Victims of Schizoid Personality Disorder really have nothing wrong with them, they just prefer to be by themselves.
