| 0:00.0 | Hey deserve an |
| 0:02.0 | this is chapter 5 in my deep dive on skeezoid personality |
| 0:05.0 | and I thought as an intro I would |
| 0:09.0 | provide some typologies that were developed |
| 0:12.0 | for those with skezoid. The first |
| 0:15.4 | typology was formally developed by Harry Gun Trip who was a British |
| 0:20.8 | psychoanalyst. He was a major contributor to object relations theory which is a part of |
| 0:27.1 | psychodynamic or psychoanalytic theory and the first theory that I loved, fell in love with during graduate school, they asked us to pick one of the theories among hundreds and object relations theory was my thing. |

| 1:37.2 | present with a flat affect meaning they seem like they're like a robot. they lack facial expressions, they don't react to things, when they describe things that |
| 1:49.2 | should have emotional content, there won't be any emotional content in their descriptions, they don't |
| 1:55.4 | react to other people having emotions. |
| 1:58.0 | Not that they don't have empathy, but their empathy is seriously compromised by their defensive structure. |
| 2:04.3 | So that's the classic skeezoid and the quintessential skeezoid, but what they called classic. |
