I'm schizoaffective and very quiet. Always have been and always will be. Natural born listener with very little reason to share my experiences with people who are judgmental and have little to no experiences that correlate to my own.
But I type like mad online!

The greatest social danger to chronic schizophrenia is self-isolation, not violence, as the media portrays. When you feel as though you are able, make efforts to reach out and interact with others. Perhaps you can find a support group in your community, that you could grow to feel comfortable with, and actually want to go be with people who are totally accepting and understanding of your condition. On those occasions when you feel like not interacting a whole lot, they will understand that also.
You seem to have a lot of insight into your disease, I think you have a pretty good prognosis for remaining functional, if you get the support and medications, and are compliant with them.

Not necessarily. There are several different types of behaviors that schizophrenics engage in. Some are catatonic, delusional, etc. Don't just ask people online - if you are serious and were diagnosed it is in your best interest to gather all the information you can. Also seeing a psychiatrist might be a good idea, depending on the severity of your diagnosis. Schizophrenia is one of the most unexplainable disorders and behavior is variable.

not always are you quiet with schizophrenia. There's 3 types of schizophrenia: disorgaized, paranoid and catatonic Catatonic is very rare, disorganized being the most likely case.
Everybody is different in their disorders. My suggestion to you is not to be concerned with whether being quiet is normal, but to watch for hallucinations or delusions you may have.
If you have it under control dont worry about your quietness but if you really are concerned talk to your psychiatrist about it and get some behavioral therapy.

I suffer from schizophrenia myself and I am very much independent and quiet. im also bi-polar so im not exactly sure where it comes from but my guess is the schizophrenia.

Both quiet and spiritual... quiet because I'm spiritual, spiritual because I'm quiet.
