The story does not end here. We have another trait, and that is emotional autonomy. This is the ultimate trait, the one that seals the narcissist’s fate. Schizoids are emotionally autonomous—not in a healthy way, though. They do not outsource their emotions. They do not regulate their self-worth through other people. They are self-contained. They live from the inside out, not the outside in. That is the exact opposite of a narcissist. A narcissist survives only when reflected through others, while a schizoid survives only when left alone. When these two worlds collide, one depends on control and the other on distance. It’s only a matter of time before the narcissist implodes from their unmet hunger. The schizoid does not even have to try. That’s why they collapse the narcissist without lifting a finger. Their existence itself becomes the narcissist’s punishment. Their quietness exposes the narcissist’s noise. Their detachment reveals the narcissist’s dependency. Eventually, the narcissist feels exactly what they make others feel: invisible, powerless, and unwanted. And that, I think, is fair enough. That’s what they need to go through.
So, what do you think about this? Have you ever met someone with a schizoid personality type? Let me know in the comments. Also, let me know if you’re interested in learning about a schizoid narcissist—something that most people do not know about. But if you come across this type of narcissist, the abuse will be 100 times worse than the classic narcissistic abuse cycle. Let’s end it here. I will talk to you in the next one. And until then, as always, let the healing begin.
