Topic > Gary Interview: Gary as an Antisocial Life - 1484

When asked about relationships and marriage, he commented that his life is good. Although the therapist asked closed-ended questions in which the answer would be yes or no, Gary did not feel the need to elaborate on any of the answers related to his social and love life. He seemed disinterested. He was disengaged from the interview and his eyes kept wandering. I did not see the therapist, but Gary maintained little to no eye contact. Gary made no facial expressions and maintained a monotone voice throughout the interview. The only time Gary seemed interested was when the therapist asked him about his job as a projectionist. He likes working as a projectionist and prefers that job because it has his own room isolated from people. When the therapist asked him why he chose to decline the projectionist manager job, he responded that he didn't want to go to the meetings. He feels uncomfortable and strongly desires to have little communication with people and, as a result, has rejected the promotion because he prefers to be alone. Based on the overall therapy session, I feel he is withdrawn and unable to form meaningful, emotional relationships. For example, he expressed no interest in finding a girlfriend and getting married, suggesting his discomfort with forming an intimate relationship with another individual. He feels satisfied with his life and does not feel the need to communicate with anyone. Gary's rejection of the job offer further contributes to my impression of him. He would rather stay in a small room than be promoted with more benefits and higher pay and forced to have personal contact
