No one is a disorder. How long did the doctor work with you? Diagnosis is not a 5 minutes and made kinda thing. There are nuances and they require some actual time to work through and to make a diagnosis.
To some with schizo-affective or some near-schizophrenic diagnosis would require some rather exagerrated behaviors on the part of a patient in an extremely short window, unless the diagnosis had been made previously and the doctor had the records of that and simply furthered what someone else had decided. That is often done and is a huge reason for on-going labelling of people and treating them for conditions that it comes to light later that they do NOT have.
You'd do better to relax. For one thing "personality disorders" are rather common and also rather tractable and can be ameliorated and changed. The psychotic disorders are a different kinda of animal than that.
So just look at the behaviors he listed and see what you think. One thing is for sure, as it is for every diagnosis of any kind. The behaviors you showed, or didn't, are behaviors that everyone, I mean everyone, shows from time-to-time. They do not mark you out as some sort of problem at any rate.
But, if they cause you difficulty when you deal with others then you might want to use the opportunity to change in some way since changing others won't be an option.
