>Frequently, a schizoid individual's social functioning is improved, sometimes dramatically, when the individual knows that he or she is an anonymous participant in a real-time conversation or correspondence, e.g. in an online chat-room or message-board. Indeed, it is often the case that the schizoid individual's online correspondent will report nothing amiss in the schizoid individual's engagement and affect. It has been suggested that this may occur because, in the schizoid's mind, the use of this anonymous medium makes his correspondent 'unreal also'.
