Hello. I just found out I might have this.
A. A pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of expression of emotions in interpersonal settings, beginning by early adulthood (age eighteen or older) and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:
1. Neither desires nor enjoys relationships or human interaction, including being part of a family
2. Almost always chooses solitary activities
3. Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
4. Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
5. Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
6. Appears indifferent to praise or criticism by others
7. Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect
1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. These matches with me I think.
What do you think, should I talk with someone about this? Right now, I don't think these affect my life harmfully but in a long run?
I've wanted to became a paramedic last five years and my entrance examination will be on next March if I get lucky. Now I've started to think that am I able to be a paramedic because I'm maybe "suffering" this disorder? Nevertheless, paramedics have lots of social interacting at school and work.
Don't get wrong, I can be very social if I need to and I like talking with people and love to help people but mainly I just enjoy being alone. Can a lonely person be a paramedic? I hope that can, because this is my long run goal and dream...
