There's a lot of talk recently about whether AI can be considered a person. But the more serious question might be whether people are becoming too much like AI—learning to live without real connection. To keep our distance. To avoid vulnerability. To convince ourselves that we don't need anyone.
In this episode, Dr. Greg continues the series on avoidance by turning to schizoid personality: the pattern where the wish for connection hasn't just been buried by fear, but has gone quiet altogether. Drawing on the personalism of St. John Paul II, he shows why we stay made out of relationship, for relationship—even when the desire seems gone.
Key Topics:
Why "I don't need anyone" can be a wound dressed up as strength
How the desire for connection can go so quiet it reads as no desire at all
What that flood of relief when plans fall through is actually telling you
How being neglected early teaches you to neglect yourself—and call it your personality
Why "self-help" was never going to be enough, and real healing needs another person
Why fearing closeness and feeling indifferent to it look identical from the outside but run on opposite engines
