I had a partner who was quite, really quite. When I would do things that were wrong he'd just not say anything. He doesn't talk about his feeling, or displays much emotions.
Is it because he really doesn't care? Is he just emotionally dead? Will it cause problems for him later? Is it a problem to be really quite?

At times he runs into problems but doesn't tell anyone because he say he doesn't want to share his problems with his friends. And he doesn't look to anyone for advice either. He feels that his own judgement are good one even when they are so wrong to the general public. I've written about some of his actions in this forum just to check my sanity and sure enough nothing seems to be working out the way he feels it should.

Well, this person you're talking about definitely sounds like an introvert. But he seems to be an extreme introvert. Most introverted people are extroverted at least some of the time, such as when they are with people they like or discussing a topic of interest. It sounds like he is quiet pretty much all the time. That coupled with the fact that he doesn't display emotion probably suggest that this is a solitary person who is alone a lot. These are symptoms of Schizoid and Avoidant personality disorders. If these traits hinder him from functioning in the world and cause him distress, then it may be a serious problem. Maybe he is an avoidant who wishes to be more sociable but feels unable to do so, or he could be a schizoid who genuinely prefers to be the way he is. I can't tell from the info you've given. But here's a couple of sources that may clarify things for you.

want to c a whole community that way, i ran for mayor1987 in a behavioral think tank town next to the university that was and is apart of the Carnegie applied sciences and they still are clueless as to decisions, they are functioning through steering committees leaders of lock-step-methodologies and are herded in to bland unrealistic corrals of white underemployment's in a transition of cheap labor replacemental programs of burying themselves in debts of mass destruction, they don't seem to have anything to say either and America is gone so what else is new

I suppose you could say he was totally non reactive. When I first saw the question I thought you meant quite literally not speaking at all which would be labeled catatonic. He could be of the mode that it is better to say nothing at all than to be critical of another. Perhaps he was not really connected to you so you could label that disengaged.

I'm like that, too. For me, I found it to be a side effect from a traumatic shock and loss shortly after birth(delayed PTSD). The doctors accidentally cut my frenular delta nerves and removed some of my shaft skin during routine circumcision. Since I discovered foreskin restoration I have more confidence in myself and am more outgoing. I'll never be completely normal, though.

Non-Reactive-Introversion within a Catatonic State. Perhaps you may consider diagnosing other more comprehensible and curable conditions. This one may just be a "tough nut to crack" ~ Dr. Dre

maybe the word you are looking for is introvert?
