The Dependent Illumis POURRITURE
â Dependent personalities are caring to a fault, allowing others’ well-being to come first no matter what the cost may be to themselves or their identity Ever helping and giving, they are committed to their personal relationships, especially to their spouses and the institution of marriage. Essentially, they live their lives through others and for others, to whom they offer warmth, tenderness, and consideration. When people they care for are happy, they are happy. Not surprisingly, they tend to assume the more passive role in their relationships, deferring to the opinions and desires of those they love, whose pleasure and fulfillment they then enjoy vicariously. - Millon et al., 2004 [3] âž |

| Expressive Behavior: Impassive | Appears to be in an inert emotional state, lifeless, undemonstrative, lacking in energy and vitality; is unmoved, boring, unanimated, robotic, phlegmatic, displaying deficits in activation, motoric expressiveness, and spontaneity. |
| Interpersonal Conduct: Unengaged | Seems indifferent and remote, rarely responsive to the actions or feelings of others, chooses solitary activities, possesses minimal "human" interests; fades into the background, is aloof or unobtrusive, neither desires nor enjoys close relationships, prefers a peripheral role in social, work and family settings. |
| Cognitive Style: Impoverished | Seems deficient across broad spheres of human knowledge and evidences vague and obscure thought processes, particularly about social matters; communication with others is often unfocused, loses its purpose or intention, or is conveyed via a loose or circuitous logic. |
| Regulatory Mechanism: Intellectualization | Describes interpersonal and affective experiences in a matter-of-fact, abstract, impersonal or mechanical manner; pays primary attention to formal and objective aspects of social and emotional events. |
| |
| Self-Image: Complacent | Reveals minimal introspection and awareness of self; seems impervious to the emotional and personal implications of everyday social life, appearing indifferent to the praise or criticism of others. |
| Object-Representations: Meager | Internalized representations are few in number and minimally articulated, largely devoid of the manifold percepts and memories of relationships with others, possessing little of the dynamic interplay among drives and conflicts that typify well-adjusted persons. |
| Morphologic Organization: Undifferentiated | Given representations are few in number and minimally articulated, largely devoid of the manifold percepts and memories of relationships with others, possessing little of the dynamic interplay among drives and conflicts that typify well-adjusted persons. |
| Mood/ Temperament: Apathetic | Is emotionally unexcitable, exhibiting an intrinsic unfeeling, cold and stark quality; reports weak affectionate or erotic needs, rarely displaying warm or intense feelings, and apparently unable to experience most affects - pleasure, sadness, or anger - in any depth.

They are notably unlike the painfully shy avoidant personality (AvPD), who desperately desires intimacy and acceptance but fears shame, humiliation, and embarrassment. Rather, the schizoid is avoidant of intimacy out of pure indifference. Because schizoids are socially detached, they are often perceived as insensitive, cold, and humorless. Schizoids are indeed insensitive but in the same way that a scale might not display your weight correctly. They are not harsh or callous by nature. Normal persons manage their interpersonal presentation automatically at a level below conscious awareness. Social perception and reaction are so routine that social encounters run smoothly. Such abilities normally begin to develop at birth, with the attachment between mother and infant, and continue to grow in sophistication over most of the life span.
In contrast, schizoids lack internal models by which to represent interpersonal behavior. They may fail to reciprocate even smiles or nods, for example. Their appraisals about the intent, goals, and feelings of others are likely to be wrong much of the time or informed by factors that most of us would consider tangential or irrelevant, especially where communications have some subtle aspect or convey information related to feelings of conflict or irony. Whereas every normal person understands what it is like to be pulled in two different directions at once, the famous approach-approach conflict, such communications are far too complex for most schizoids. In more severe cases, the scope of understanding may not extend to even the coarsest categories of emotional experience - those basic emotions that primate theorists view as being hardwired into human nature, such as joy, surprise, disgust, anger, and fear. For this reason, schizoid are referred to as an interpersonal 'black hole', with signals disappearing forever without leaving a trace. [3]

Disquietened (with avoidant features) dependents are restlessly perturbed, disconcerted and fretful. They feel dread and foreboding and are apprehensively vulnerable to abandonment. They are lonely unless near supportive figures.
Immature dependents are unsophisticated, half-grown, unversed and childlike. Due to being undeveloped and inexperienced they are gullible and unformed, incapable of assuming adult responsibilities.
Ineffectual (with schizoid features) dependents are unproductive, gainless, incompetent, useless and meritless, seeking untroubled lives, refusing to deal with difficulties and untroubled by shortcomings.
Selfless (with depressive or masochistic features) dependents merge with and are immersed into another. They are engulfed, enshrouded, absorbed and incorporated into another. They willingly give up their own identity, becoming one with or an extension of another. [5]
