I was wondering why I had such a hard time typing Jamie! It occurred to me during that interview that he might be a psychopath, because all the “8 markers” I noticed seemed unrooted somehow, even as a possible fix. It was too smooth and felt like part of a very slippery performance. His explosive reactivity made me think Six, but it blew over way too quickly without even an inkling of residual irritation, which threw me off so much. Seven hit my radar last (I think because I was focusing on his overt displays of insecurity and mentions of what everyone else thinks, which had me on Six), but then came those lines you mentioned in the YouTube video where he’s basically goading her, “you thought I was going to say something there…” and everything went out the window. Like is he PLAYING with her?? This calm kid is not the same one who just exploded, asked for cocoa, and carried on like nothing had happened. By the time he was screaming about whether or not she liked him, I was SO confused. So he craves attention and approval, gets upset she’s not responding “correctly” and tells her, but then doesn’t want her to leave? Is this a 2 fix? But then where’s the warmth? I kinda gave up after that 😅 The interview episode was so intense, but so difficult to sort through! I feel a little better now lol.
