Many computer hackers, crackers, and programmers are schizoids, for instance - as are some mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Inevitably, they prefer mechanical or abstract tasks and jobs that require such skills. Given the option, they invariably pursue solitary activities or hobbies. They derive no satisfaction from belonging to a close-knit group: family, church, workplace, neighborhood, or nation. Consequently, they appear cold, aloof, bland, stunted, flat, and "zombie"-like. Schizoids are asexual - not interested in sex. Schizoids never pursue an opportunity to develop a close relationship. Rarely does the schizoid express feelings, either negative (anger) or positive (happiness). They are incapable of intimacy and have a very limited range of emotions and affect. Schizoids are uninterested in social relationships and bored or puzzled by interpersonal interactions. But the schizoid is not depressed or dysphoric, merely indifferent. Even their nearest and dearest often describe them as "automata", "robots", or "machines". Schizoids enjoy nothing and seemingly never experience pleasure (they are anhedonic).
