Are these symptoms consistent with a schizoid pd; lack of interest in friendships/relationships, chronic feelings of emptiness, and vivid imagination?

Good description: You gave a fairly good description of this relatively rarely seen disorder. It may be more common than known since people with it often do not seek therapy or get attention unless there are other issues too.

The first, yes.: Schizoid is characterized by an indifference to interpersonal relationships. I have not encountered the second and third of these in the few schizoid patients I have seen, but my colleagues my have, and I hope they chime in here.
