About this listen
You may have downloaded this book for many reasons. You might be someone who has a socially awkward child, friend, spouse, lover, employee, boss, or parent. They may be object-oriented, task-oriented, and may lack social skills. They may struggle to make friends. Maybe they prefer aloneness or isolation. Maybe they feel a sense of alienation from other people.
Or maybe these descriptions actually apply to you. Maybe you prefer aloneness, isolation, small groups, or few intimate friends and partners. You might enjoy being by yourself much of the time. You have task-oriented and object-oriented hobbies or interests. You are so passionate about your work or your hobbies that you could talk about them for hours on end, never seeming to lose interest.
There are many people on this great planet of our's. Each person has a very different personality from the next person. Our differences allow us each to contribute in our own way to society and its purpose. We all specialize in different areas, and the world wouldn't be what it is without each person making their useful contributions.
Many people used to naturally segregate from the rest of the population. People who were socially inept tended to keep to themselves. They farmed or operated family-run businesses for survival. They handed down their trade to the next offspring who took over the family business once their parents were too old to operate it any longer. People who were disabled or mentally ill or who had learning disabilities were institutionalized or put into special schools or special jobs.

This audiobook seeks to identify how people with schizoid personality disorder and Asperger's syndrome may process or think differently from others. The concepts can be also used and considered in those who have personality disorders such as OCPD. It seeks to bridge the gap between the behaviors that are different between neurotypicals and those on the spectrums. It seeks to draw out the patterns and to define the reasons that both sides struggle to understand and meet each other's needs.

Story
Schizoids are not given enough attention. The world of psychology can educate us a little bit on the 'how' and the 'why' of schizoid disorder. The problem is that each schizoid can be different from other people who are schizoids. While there is a loose definition for the different types of schizoids, everyone's personality is different and has different inborn traits. Our experiences and our brain wiring both help to develop who we are in reference to others and to the world around us.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.
