I suspect the point of the DSM is not to measure whether normies should freak out about something, but rather whether your symptoms interrupt your ability to behave normally (i.e. to behave in a way that doesn't hinder your everyday existence). In the case of schizoid here, these symptoms get in the way of making friends and having close relationships, which, as I hope you would agree, is a bad thing. If the symptoms are bad enough, then you get the diagnosis of schizoid in order to identify easily to others where you most need help or assistance.
