I’m glad you found the video helpful. This helps me to know that content like this is useful to others. I will be making more content along these lines.
This a great video it brings Fairbairn's ideas into a more modern frame of understanding. I also feel you did a wonderful job at explaining this sub categories as Fairbairn postulates them in his article!
Thank you for your feedback. I think that Fairbairn's work creates a meaningful conceptual framework in the realm of schizoid theory and phenomenology, and makes a lot of sense when considering the spectrum of ego splitting, variances in individual life experiences/trajectories, and consequential emotional detachment.
I searched for videos on Fairbairn months ago. Those found were language challenged, so I'm eager to listen to your presentation. Please introduce more of Fairbairn to us.
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad to hear you’re interested to engage with Fairbairn’s work. I think that his theories carry significant theoretical value in understanding the inner subjective experience of those with schizoid dynamics. Fairbairn’s insights provide a compelling framework for exploring what may occur in the lived experience of individuals navigating these defenses. I’ll definitely be covering more of Fairbairn’s theories in future videos, as I believe his work offers a deeper understanding of these dynamics that is often missing in contemporary discussions.
Interesting. All schizoid individuals show of an psychopath traits but it doesn’t mean they’re psychopathic. Schizoid and psychopath relate a lot, i agree. Because of numb emotions, lack of empathy, unfeeling, cold but it also relate to autism as well. But i do agree that schizoid have a lot of correlation with psychopathy, even autism maybe. Most serial killers are schizoid and show pattern of psychopathic behavior. It makes sense because i have schizoid and ASPD….Thanks for this information 👍
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and personal perspective on this. While I view the psychopathic schizoid and ASPD as distinct conditions, I can see the potential for comorbidity, as developmental paths and life experiences vary significantly between individuals, resulting in different attitudes and behaviors. I think the development of ASPD can occur for a wide range of reasons. Your insight as someone who identifies with both ASPD and schizoid dynamics is particularly interesting, as it highlights the need for further exploration into how these comorbidities manifest and interact. I’ve come across very few people who identify with both, though this may be partly due to the stigma surrounding ASPD, which can make open discussion difficult. I think that your insight adds an important layer to the ongoing discussion.
@@SchizoidVisionI agree with you. Because i have (ASPD) traits doesn’t mean i am going to ‘’harm’’ people or whatever, what i find it fascinating is that most serial killers have schizoid traits, it’s has a lot of correlation with being an serial killer, psychopathy but not sociopathy, as you said before, it’s the upbringing past experiences when they were a child what makes them that way…. Every people have ASPD in themselves without fitting the ASPD criteria, remember that. As i said, you, me, other people who have this condition are all in different spectrum. We’re all individuals. Every people is different. This is why it’s on stigma. And we choose to harm people it’s not our ‘’ASPD’’ remember that. We choose our own actions, that we choose the good path or evil path. I am not an psychopath as i said before, i relate to them doesn’t mean i am one, if that makes sense? And it’s always pleasure to type with you. Not only you, your subscribers are also very educated individuals. They have my respect as well. You should be proud of yourself what you accomplished by your channel and your educated followers, subscribers. I will definitely support, donate your channel in the future. I just want to say keep up the good work. I am learning from your knowledge, experience about schizoid a lot and i thank you for that and from the subscribers as well by reading them. It’s always a pleasure to learn some new information 😉 Have a great day.
I'm definitely an abnormal schizoid! I love talking to people! Sometimes.. all without revealing my true self and being false self territory. Although i don't like talking to people everyday. I'm definitely a schizoid, elusive, false self defense and always thinking. I act this way for survival which makes me believe I have psychopathic traits because I am more confident than most schizoids but also still a schizoid....
Interesting... I think that the development of psychopathic traits and the corresponding additional defenses can help us to override some of the environmental sensitivities and stressors that some other schizoids tend to physically remove themselves from. Also, you make a good point about the false self, the more developed it is, the more of a vehicle it can become, to navigate the social sphere whilst remaining emotionally detached.
@SchizoidVision true. I think I have developed a powerful false self but I still don't have the motivations of talking to people like extroverts. But the false self becomes more of a reliable vehicle through practice. Maybe certain traits like callousness of a psychopath act as a thicker skin for the schizoid individual allowing for you to override stresses that a normal schizoid might be going through such as expressing emotions
It's a great diagram, at least I can translate it into my own weird interpretation of things. But I do not believe the true self is unemotional, or at least the true self has positive emotions such as joy, love, etc, which the schizoid is not accessing because of their ego defense.
I completely agree that our defenses play a significant role in disconnecting us from our emotional world and positive feelings. The anti-libidinal ego or internal saboteur often distracts us from accessing the joy and love that the true self is capable of experiencing. For many of us, this disconnection from higher-level joy becomes ingrained due to these defenses. Rewiring ourselves to reconnect with these emotions is no easy feat-it often requires significant time, a deep will to change, and the right type of guidance, which is unfortunately lacking in much of the therapeutic industry today. For some, finding acceptance of ourselves as we are can feel like a reasonable alternative, especially when the long and laborious process of change carries no guarantee of reaching a better emotional state. That said, I believe that even if emotional reconnection feels out of reach, some level of pleasure can still be attained (whether through intellectual or cerebral pursuits) offering a meaningful way to engage with life, even if it differs from a fully emotional experience.
It means that the schizoid true self exists beyond immediate emotional and social experiences, detached, and untouchable. Kind of like on another plane of existence outside of this world.

@SchizoidVision I couldn't agree more ! His works was also the basis for Harry Guntrip's theories.

Thank you... I agree with your thoughts on ASPD.

I think 'thicker skin' is a good way of putting it.
I want to hear more about Pseudoborderline schizoid and Pseudonarcissistic schizoid
I will be covering these topics in future.

What do you mean by transcendent?
It means that the schizoid true self exists beyond immediate emotional and social experiences, detached, and untouchable. Kind of like on another plane of existence outside of this world.
