Some of these people have a strong sense of self-importance and special ability, although they may feel that their potential has been stymied by others letting them down or deceiving them.

Schizoid personality disorder - These individuals are emotionally cold, self-sufficient, and detached. They are introspective and may have a complex fantasy life.
