My uncle has schizophrenia and they don't act all "sphycotic" :/

 This^

Having worked with people that were diagnosed this, they don't act like tv portrays and it's pretty shit when people expect that, don't see it and so they must not really have it 

 Oh ty. :) Yeah my uncle is a really cool person, not the mad hatter. I love him with all my heart, and, he's a really good person

I'm more inclined to believe that TC is schizo than to believe he's transgendered.

Are they mutually exclusive? Schizos tend to report strange relationships with their own identity, so it seems like a schizo-tranny would be an easy conclusion. 

 I'm less inclined to believe that the transgender isn't just another delusion brought on by the schizo neurochemistry.

Apparently, it's a lot like being on LSD permanently.

Fuck me, one of the times I dropped LSD, I thought the sidewalk was a roiling ocean with surf high waves and that the seagulls that were singing to me were gold cloaked angels with trumpets  *_*

So yeah, if schizo is anything like that, your self concept would be a little bit... bent lol

What characterizes schizo- ? Like what is the key intersection between all schizo based mentalities?

The disconnection from reality is it's most forefront characteristic, but it's expression can go a lot of different directions. It's also characteristic for it's resistance against more typical treatments. It is also characteristic of hallucinations, but not necessarily of sight. 

This has led to multiple subtypes being defined as well as many "unspecified"s being diagnosed, but putting them into a room together tends to show a looser connection to the tethers of reality when they speak. Their conversation style can resemble that of an acid burnout, and is often how schizos can find themselves with drug users as friends (rather than starting with the urge to self medicate plainly). 

Also, as annoyingly similar as the language is, 'schizo' and 'schizoid' are separate things despite having the same root at it's beginning.

I mean, it is a delusion, I'm not arguing against that.

It's very similar to a psychadelic trip when around the oncoming episode in the timeline, but while the sensitivities are there the euphoria of it is entirely absent. 

LSD is like 80 times easier than an episode, and I've seen taking it cleanse my head of whatever clog otherwise keeps an episode going, like pulling the lid from a drain. It's been enough to have me consider microdosing, especially considering my raise in functionality by comparison without any sort of addictive withdrawal following.

When I trip I feel strangely in control of what's going on. 

It really is like a peaceful episode.

Other people make a lot more sense, and I mean that less in the Hot Topic uniqueness way and more of a "I need to see who others are to get a grip on who I am relatively" philosophy. As I look at myself it's like nothing of depth is really there, but how others respond to it gives it more resonance than merely my witnessing it solely. 

It's easy to forget what I was just looking at in the mirror, but every little twitch from another person can tell me volumes. It's like as if by being blind to myself that I'm more capable of seeing the world. While other people can be like novels on a bookshelf, all the mirrors are too foggy for me to easily make out the one reading it. 

Most of my self understanding is secondhand, confirmed off of others by bouncing it off of them and splitting their filters from it through averaging enough people together. Most people I speak to seem to just take for granted that they know who they are, but I feel like I learn more about who I am by witnessing my own life as an audience member sitting in a chair inside my head. 

I don't feel real, but others responding to me does. My understanding of myself is no better than echolocation; I have to ping outwards and have others ping back to see anything. 

Schizoid is a personality disorder with traits of Aspie and Avoidant PD, often with a dash of magical thinking (cult crazy.) Kirk and Candace Cameron, anyone? And that other actor with the bushy white beard who ran to Canada bc of some weird QAnon shit he thought was chasing him... lol I'll look him up in a minute.

He strikes me as a srs contender for the title Schizoid  :D

That's like the worst of bipolar, BPD and schizophrenia in one ugly, miserable package.

It seemed more to me like a chicken or the egg thing between these two factors: Disconnection from Reality and Mood Swings. 

-affective goes with mood swings preceding the disconnection from reality, stating that any psychotic breaks they're having are over a surge similar to bipolar's shifts. 

-phrenic has the disconnection from reality at the forefront, and through it mood swings can occur as a result of their distorted idea of reality. 

They keep going with me being -affective from seeming higher functioning, but I assure you the crazy is always there, it's more so once racing thoughts kick in that it becomes harder to manage. 

 Fair enough. That would explain #3. It does seem your mood is driving the whole thing rather than congnition.

 I'm not saying he doesnt can't act normal, or even be normal most of the time. But when he never acts psychotic, that makes me suspicious.

 He doesnt strike me as schizoid at all. He seems more integrated in society than aloof (think spatial).

Yes, actually. Tony seems to have some SPD traits. 

I'd have to meet him irl to get a better idea, tho.

Dude, I was explaining the difference between schizophrenia and schizoid that TC pointed out with an example.

Randy Quaid. Randy Quaid is probably schizoid.

The Greyhound Killer (western Canada 2008) is schizophrenic.
