From what I know about emotional spectrum imbalances, it does sound like you have a large degree of schizoid. Take this with a grain of salt though--I am an anthropologist, not a doctor. I would reccommend standing by a psychiatrist's evaluation, even if he/she laughed at you. Unfortunately, you can't control asshole-output, but you can take the important message away from people who are qualified to give it.
I remember "coming out"--admitting to my friends that I am type 1 bipolar. Half of them weren't even surprised hahah, and the other half, of course, found it shocking, but the human capacity to care runs deep.
Get another evaluation. Maybe even get a second one after that. If schizoid, take meds until you find a cocktail that works for you (I took several medicines before sumbling upon lithium, which is ideal for me). Most of all, find online and in person support groups, and therapy, if you can afford it :/ Relating to people in the same position as yourself will help you feel comfortable in every aspect of your life. Good luck, youll be fine soon :)

Thank you, so much, for the advice. One of my greatest fears is to be laughed at. Or thought of as childish and illogical...
