How do you differentiate between..

* schizoid vs avoidant.
*schizotypal vs paranoid

  #2

a schizoid personality disorder patient likes to be left alone. if someone approaches , he says go away!. an avoidant personality disorder patient has this intense desire to have many friends, but thinks himself to be not enough, and thus avoids all stressful situations which include social gatherings, and friends.

a schizotypal personality disorder has magaical thinking. just by thinking about something ,he belives he can make things happen. he has bizarre dress sense too. a paranoid personality disorder fellow has pervasive distrust. he suspects everyone, everytime all the time.
