A 34-year-old man works as a night security guard and lives alone. He reports that he has never been interested in dating and prefers solitary activities such as reading science fiction and assembling model trains. He has no close friends and rarely speaks to coworkers except when necessary. When asked about loneliness, he shrugs and says, “I’m fine on my own.” His affect is constricted but appropriate. He denies suspiciousness, unusual perceptual experiences, or odd beliefs.
