> Neuroscience shows that this is not the case, and that those with schizoid personality disorders have true physiological and neurological differences.

Sure, but you assume that the physiological and neurological differences exist in themselves when you could also say that are causal, due to the abuse/neglect. The effects on ones mind from negative life experiences would have to have a physical manifestation in the brain in order to create the patterns of disordered behavior of course. If they are caused by negative life experiences, then they could also be reversible.



Normies have more negative experiences as they are more susceptible to manipulation to their detriment. So why not reverse them?


This is true, as a broad statement at least. I can claim no expertise in the area, so I can't comment on the potential to reverse any such changes.

It is also possible that they are not caused by negative life experiences, and are somehow inherent in the organization of a particular person's brain.


Of course. But I think it's quite common to claim that one's problems in life are incontrovertible when they are not. You stated it as a fact when we really don't know


Just because something is caused by experience doesn't necessarily mean more experience can completely reverse it.
