Dr. Grande. Could you please do an analysis of the mental health and personality of people who watch your videos instead of getting prepared for work tomorrow.
I always felt like she was constantly acting as a character in her own movie. One day she's a transgender youth another she is a intelligent college student, or an artsy quirky girl. And she was a very bad actress at that, throughout her trial I found her to be arrogant and unlikable and self centered, as well as lacking in any sense of self awareness.
Not a psychologist, but everything about Ezra screams BPD and extreme narcissism. She acts like the court room is her own little reality show until that sentence hits home
I was thinking more or less the same thing: Jodi Arias and Dalia Dippolito ( it took 3 trials before she could be convicted and stay convicted. Then again, Dalia had a little more "time on the table" as they say, in this particular game.) Someone on another video stated that she was just in the habit of using sex to get what she wanted. I don't think it was that cut and dried. I said I thought perhaps McCandless was the Perfect Dark Triad Trifecta, ie. She had all of the dark triad disorders. She needed Narcissistic supply, and for someone who didn't work, and had no money, she viewed herself as the ancient soul born into the world, and tried to give everyone with whom she came in contact a taste of that; that they were viewed as a soul mate. She did this by attempting to be all things (including all genders), at all times to all people. She is like a marketing campaign and the product is Ezra McCandless and she is selling the sizzle, not the steak. After all, she was fine periodically moving out of Jason's house when SHE wanted to; (BPD), she wanted all people to remain in her circle for supply, she wanted the freedom to choose new partners with new experiences, and additional romance and money; or even to stop being a girl occasionally, which must be the penultimate for someone with BPD. I cannot take your calls right now; I am busy being a boy. Once I become a girl again, I will return your call; and due to her Machiavellian traits, she actually maintained a livelihood of just hanging around a coffee shop all day, casting out her line, and when a promising victim came along, she reeled them into her web. She was used to being the one who took breaks to experience new supply, but when she could not get Jason back, I think the Narcissistic injury was so great that the perpetrator that caused her to experience this failure had to pay with his life. Of course, I'm not diagnosing anyone here; only speculating on what could be happening in a situation like this. )
I think the motive was rage. She had a sexual encounter with one of Mengel's friends. Mengel found out about it. Ezra didn't want Mengel knowing that she had cheated on him so she fabricated a story that the guy had raped her. She even went so far as to report it to the police and she seemed quite alright with sending the poor guy to prison for many years. Woodworth, the murder victim, had gone to the police and told them that McCandless had told him that the encounter was in fact consensual. The police investigated and did not end up charging the innocent guy with rape. The result of all this was that Mengel knew that she had cheated on him. She was not happy about that. This made her furious with Woodworth.
I've just watched the whole trial. What you say is true and to add more detail, she was in communication with Mengel with both planning on getting back together when she was spotted by woodworths flat mate coming out of his shower in a towel. That message got relayed to Mengel and he was furious (again no doubt). This happened 24 hours before Woodworth was killed and ezra was pressing everyone to tell Mengel it was a lie. She needed Woodworth to tell Mengel he was lying about John Hanson AND that he was coercing her into having a relationship she didn't want to have. She needed him to take responsibility for the shower encounter and admit their ongoing relationship was not actually happening. I imagine, the poor fella didn't comply with her request and she lost the plot. Mengel was a fool to stay in contact with her and in some part is responsible for Woodworths death. Mengel also sent a photo of graffiti on the door of Racys coffee shop where woodworth worked and they all hung out. The photo had her telephone number and the words 'fuq me' over it. She was humiliated, caught out, running out of road and losing the one thing she wanted, which was getting her own way. I think the girl 'gone snapped' and alex woodworth took the full force of the hit. Sad sad story. Rip to his family.
You're 2 years earlier, and far more eloquent, than I am! That's exactly how I saw it, too! She was sleeping with John (the guy she'd claimed had raped her), Jason, *and* Alex! ... and the guys were all friends with one another as well.
I listened to the 911 call, her police interviews, and her testimonies in court....she really thought she was smarter than everyone and would get away with this.
😂 right? I watched a sword and scale episode of this, the narrator made fun of her the whole damn time. She just comes off as some hipster fake who loves the idea of being Intelligent and sophisticated but rather, she comes off as tacky and stupid.
Alot of young people go through all these phases. It's sort of like freshman 101 ~ the stoned noodling with philosophy. The 'edgy'' endearingly naiive peurile writing, the bookish nerdy clumsy attempts at ~ again ~ 'edgy' 'NON-vanilla' sexual canooding exploration with a few similarly young curious partners of various genders.. finding Cringey but again endearingly young 'old soul ' 'ancient love' tyes of clinched beliefs absolutely FRESH UNIQUE & irresistibly INTRIGUING ! 😁🤣😂🤗 ..bad poetry... sulky ..yet Again ' edgyy' meandering journaling..... inept literary refetences .... . i mean..Nietsche? ..into the Wod?.. i bet the house at least one of them hsd a tattered Dharma Bums or Siddhartha paperback in their kidcore bag or pocket .......
@@sarahholland2600 Yah, I agree with you. This sounds like all young love. It isn't until your brain develops as you get older and realized how unrealistic your idea of love was when you were so young.
She said _Into the Wild_ was written *by* Chris McCandless, having to be corrected by her lawyer. Makes me wonder how much she really knew about the person she named herself after. Ironic considering Chris actually rejected the name McCandless himself. Ezra Supertramp would have been more appropriate. But she seems to stay on the shallow end of deep subjects.
These videos help me relax and sleep at night instead of laying awake until the morning and stressing out. Despite the difficult topics, Dr. Grande’s calm, logical and confident demeanour helps my brain stop spinning. Always interesting and informative. I am so grateful to be able to access these videos. My favourite RUclips channel by far.🙂
I've never heard of an "ancient love so powerful" between two people that would allow one of those people to be cheating on the other one within TWO MONTHS of living together. Sounds more like an ancient excuse to me. In simpler terms, she cheated on her man and then regretted it. She spoke to everyone and anyone who would listen about her private life, much more like a teenage school girl relationship where she blabbed every detail to her friends.
Loving this comment in a video where there's not a plant in sight except for the first 30 and last 15 seconds. Fun. He does have a variety of shirts though, I'll give him that.
@@francisbrasher7045 here is my diagnosis, 1. Grande has a nice voice that projects confidence and humility all at once. 2. He comes off smart curious but non judgemental. Item No. 3. Dry humor may be the result of Grandes Choleric personality. This is only my opinion.
McCandless played the two (really three) men against each other. To commit the murder, she lured Woodworth to a remote area and stabbed him in the back of the head when he wasn’t looking. After being convicted, her mother set herself up as a distributor of McCandless’ artwork and promoted her daughter as wrongfully convicted. Ezra was glad to go along with the delusion; this, after having uttered a half-baked apology before sentencing. Woodworth and Mengle both ignored many warning signs that McCandless was emotionally unstable. Woodworth wrote many entries in his journal beseeching McCandless to just let him know whether she really wanted to be in a relationship with him. So as a witness in her own trial, she got to kill him again, painting him as a sex-crazed abuser. His family, which knew him to be a gentle soul who could hurt no one, had to sit through the trial listening to her kill the reputation of their slain relative (son, brother, uncle, cousin, etc.).
The crazy ones who kill the guy ALWAYS then murder their character at trial. I’m surprised she didn’t call him a pedo they usually toss that out there too 🤔😡
This is a very interesting case. I am excited to hear what Dr Grande has to offer. I found Ezra to be highly manipulative and pseudo intellectual. Frankly, people like her annoy me.. I think she manipulated the man she killed and grew frustrated when he didn't play her game.
uh-oh, lookit thattt.. Dr Todd's paying attention to his YTfamiy and wearing bright colors.. haha Dr T, We just love what you bring to YT. We always laugh & learn, and feel a sense of community here. Have a Great evening knowing youre loved
Please do Chris McCandless and a general thought on many of us who feel pulled to just take off into the wilderness to test ourselves. Jon Krakauer (his bio author) has spoken how society now doesn't have the rites of passage for young people as past generations and this plays a role. I'd appreciate your insights.
Indeed, this is a great topic. Also, if you've read and liked Krakauer's Into The Wild, definitely do yourself a favor and read Into Thin Air about a deadly Everest climbing season in the 90s.
Of all the weird murder stories out there I found this one a little hard to understand. It didn't seem like even enough sexual jealousy to be a crime of passion. She just seems to be nuts😳 appreciate Dr Grande for putting some thoughts out there on her mental state.
@@alladreamwedreamed I agree 100%. This case was so confusing and disjointed, and all over the place. There didn't seem to be a clear reason or motive for the killing. Was she nutty enough to think if she killed this guy, then the other guy would take her back? Idk. Can't get into the mind of this murderer. That's a good thing, I think. 🥴
The way she testified reminds me how smart I used to think I was in high school at like 15-16. 32 now and can’t believe I thought I had so much life experience. Lol she is super manipulative and confused.
I don't think back anymore to who I was and how I behaved from high school through college. Cringe worthy lol. So obnoxious can't believe I wasn't beat to death.
I think it goes back to her inability to regulate her emotions with regard to her relationship to her guy she wanted. She was convinced that Woodworth was the reason she lost him but unwilling to accept that her own actions were the cause rather than Woodworth’s refusal to lie and incriminate himself for her. As a very young woman, he was her first real love and I think she fixated on him and the sabotaged herself. I don’t know what her plan was when she rolled back into town and she probably didn’t either but she was going to do something to get the man’s attention. I think it was just her rage at not being able to get what she wanted and Woodworth symbolized the reason for that. He symbolized her mistake and her inability to control things.
But she had nicked her Dad's knife before she set out although she may have thought she was just going to threaten him into backing up her version of all her dalliances
_Maximum Decimus Meridius..._ 😂🤣😄 Stahhhpp. She just seems like another vapid narcissist to me and I don't buy the "boy" thing. Glad you're the doctor! Plus, you're funny as hell! Thank you Dr Grande. 👍🌹
yep... i mean, she's wearing fake glasses.. if you think wearing fake glasses makes you look more intelligent, you gotta be psychotic on some level or another
@@stefanforrer2573 Ha! They are the latest fashion accessory that guilty defendants wear in court. Jodi, Shayla, Katie in Florida...the list goes on and on. I am really surprised that defense attorneys continue to try using this trick when it's clear that all glasses do is make the guilty defendants look guiltier. With Ezra, it reminded me of the fake glasses that first graders parade around with.
I watched this trial and Ms. Monica (Ezra) LOVED every minute of it! When Jason walked in to testify against her, she literally blushed like a teenager. I don't think she appreciated the fact that she killed someone, ended their life, and Woodworth's family and loved ones suffered an immense loss because of her actions. She is self indulging and immature, although she portrays herself as this deep thinking progressive person, she is simply a murderer. Just my humble opinion. You always do an amazing job Dr. of telling the facts, giving a professional analysis, and sprinkling in the perfect blend of your unique, deadpan humor in the process. Thank you! LOVE the shirt btw. 😉
I watched her testimony (listened, really) while I painted last week. I actually had to turn it off because her fake intellect was so annoying. She is a talented artist. I think she killed that guy because of simple resentment and yes, foolish thinking that with him dead, she could have the older guy. I am a survivor of domestic violence. Her story of defending herself is bullshit. Another great one, thank you!
The faux intellect when she couldn't pronounce words like albeit or altruistic was painful. The fact she was allowed to interpret the victims writings was disgusting
@@whims6278That sticks with me most in this case. I would have loved to have had just five minutes of conversation with Alex. I know I wouldn't be able to keep up, but my favorite thing to do with people is to pick their brains and see what makes them themselves. Alex was extremely open about his worldview, his philosophies, desires, motives, morals, weaknesses, etc. And his worldview that he describes is one of selfless love and endless empathy for those around him. Even hearing about the type of person he was helps visualize the blinding light of pure GOODNESS that he was. A senseless, tragic loss. I hope that his family publishes at least some of his writings because in a world as horrible as this one, much of what he wrote about is a healing balm on the festering infection of greed, anger, and apathy that we are facing today. I pray his family finds peace that he is now an angel watching over them and all those he sought to help in his short but well-lived life.
Same; I was watching her testimony on the dreading YT channel and I just couldn't take it anymore. I don't see how so many people were fooled by her so-called charm. She was hardly charming at all. Her lack of remorse in saying "sorry for your loss" was very telling, as if to distance herself from having committed the crime.
@@amimi92When she started out that she was sorry, I was extremely hopeful that she would finally own up to her actions and take responsibility for her crimes. But then she proceeded to downplay her role in Alex's death. I was disappointed only in the fact that I was hoping to find something redeeming in her personality. Every person is capable of being better by facing the consequences of their actions and apologizing. But she once again ran away from the truth of the matter. I don't think she'll reflect on her actions for the next fifty years she'll definitely be locked up. Not one thought will be spared in sympathy to the family, to Alex, to her friends, to Jason, to John, etc. She believes she's completely in the right.
“Maximus Decimus Meridius”🤣🤣🤣🤣 She would most certainly need the other arm to complete her writing. What a tragedy, Woodworth had his whole life ahead of him, he was only 24! Really sad.😔 Thank you for the analysis Dr. Grande, I hope you are having an enjoyable Sunday! 💚
Her behavior during her trial is so strange, especially during Mengal’s testimony. She even put on a green sweater that he had given her while she was in the hospital under her blazer before his testimony and smirked and pulled back her blazer to show it while he was on the stand.
@@kenmore01 i would really like to know if anyone ever tried to figure out if she had a developmental delay or something, as her entire behavior and thinking as far as i can see are not that of a 20 something y/o. I wonder why her defense didn't try that, in addition to the mom being so young when she was born and her having identity issues it would have made a great sob Story for the Jury
@@inkompetenzkompensationsko4188 I completely agree. I know some people develop more slowly than others. Of course stabbing someone is a trait that older people develop, but your defense would have been a good one indeed!
Having a 14 year old mother probably wasn’t an optimal way for her to start out in life. Interesting video. 💕👍🏼 💕 Pink shirt was my fav so far but this chartreuse/lime green is great on you too. 💚🪴💚
I’d love to see Dr. Grande’s take on CHRIS McCandless. He starved to death in 1992 after isolating himself, in the rugged terrain of Alaska - completely unprepared and disillusioned with what it took to survive in that environment. Some say he did it on purpose - that he was suicidal. Some say he was just completely out of touch with reality. His severely underweight body was found by Moose Hunters in an abandoned bus in the middle of the Alaska with a journal detailing his slow, agonizing death.
Im a Patreon supporter so I’ll message Dr. Grande about this there too. I’d love to see what he thought about Chris McCandless. The story has fascinated me since I was I young child. So sad, terrifying, and strange.
You remind me of Mexico today, doc. Plants, cacti, and avocado colors to go with the name Grande. Very nice. Sobering words at the end there. Wisely done, Dr.G.
I feel confident that he won't let the celebrity change him, and I hope to be here when he reaches 1 million. I still think he could be a professional ghost writer if he isn't already secretly in the hip hop world 😆
I think it's interesting that her counsel likely coached her on her physical appearance (use of over-large glasses that don't hide her eyes, pink and pastels, and the flowing hair imply a childlike innocence), but she continued to use inappropriate word choice. It would suggest that she either went against counsel or they didn't really try that hard.
I watched this trial. The way she acted when her ex walked into court was too creepy. My theory is that she killed Alex because he wouldn’t lie about the kind of relationship they had and she didn’t want Jason to have the truth.
Plus some other friend had spilled the beans to Jason literally a couple of days before the murder and Jason dumped her yet again . Jason was constantly changing his mind about whether he wanted a relationship with her . Should have known better at his age and firmly dumped her after the abortion when he bailed and sodded off to the redwoods for 2 weeks
I think her baseline is creepy in court. Like calculating and recalibrating each second while seeming too calm and chill. Something with her head tilts
Dr. Grande, did you watch Jason Mengel testify? I watched it on the court TV, RUclips channel. The court TV host commented on Ezra’s reaction to Mengle. Her facial expression definitely changed when she saw him. She appeared to still be infatuated with him.
It's time to get real, guys. "Grande" isn't the doctors full name. Actually his full name is Todd L. Armadio Grande (Big Closet). He lives among his shirts....😁 JK. Great shirt, doctor. You look like a fresh spring day. 💚
@@st11ches Lately, yes. I don't know how the current situation is in Delaware. Where I live all clothing shops are closed for months now. You have to order everything instead of trying things on in the shop. Sometimes I catch myself not sending things back, even if they don't fit perfectly well. Maybe that's what he does, too. I don't know.
Dr. Grande always provides an insightful case analysis synopsis with an incredible sense of humor; he never fails to make me chuckle, which is ironic given the typical subject matter/s.
I watch Dr Grande’s videos all the time but never commented on either of them.....but somethings he said in this video about how the world 🌎 will move on without this person and her poor decisions made so much sense. A deeply meaningful lesson. Nothing is so much worth it than your life, your freedom, your sanity and your peace of mind. In all things let patience and your head lead you and not your emotions
The tragedy of teen motherhood. (McCandless's mother.) It burns me up that there are television shows glorifying teen motherhood. There are so many impressionable 13 & 14 year old girls who watch these shows. I think Ezra's many peculiar actions indicate how insecure and attention starved she must have felt from early on in her life.
Wouldn't be surprised if the White House called to fill an extra couple of seats at those dreadfully dull state dinners. Just wait till they unwrap this guy!!!
Loving bright shirts lately, Dr. Grande! Another great video - thank you for the consistent, high quality content. Definitely a breath of fresh air these days. Take care!
There is a deep metaphysical understanding that lite, bright colors make one feel better. I would not recommend black. If a person is sensitive enough black colors feel heavy and depressing. I like Dr. Grandes choises over the recent videos of light green, orange and pink. If a person is intuitive they can feel the happiness in those colors.
I’m sure you get him into a psychological dilemna, not only about his shirts, his plants, his office, his humour, and his crime stories. Can you think of a good psychologists to refer him to ? I’m not analyzing, just speculating. 💚📚📚📚💚
@@billhildebrand5053 Just like the Blues brothers.......I'm on a mission from God. God is pure conciousness. Mr. Hildebrand I've got some cards up my sleeve! I've got an angle! There is a method to my madness! Dr. Grande is well grounded. He wont loose his bearings. I aim to open the right side of his brain!
I like to start my evening the same way I like my Starbucks... Grande!😁 To me this sounded heavily Borderline Personality Disorder. It seems like her "plan" (for lack of a better term) was in some way intended to manipulate the sympathies of the man she most desired. Although I'm not qualified to diagnose anything, for a long while now I have extraordinary suspensions that my sister has BPD, and I believe that the birth of my nephew (who I eventually adopted) was a plan to more or less trap her boyfriend into staying with her. (Obviously backfired.) I'm not saying that people with BPD are masterminds, just saying that the motivation (desperation) to hold on to people leads them to make poor decisions.
People who are quick to move the relationship forward with you are also often quick to have you fall out of favor with them. This is especially true in the case of Borderlines. Don't put much stock into such relationships. It always backfires and you'll be the one holding the bill while they run off with their new flavor of the month.
It's important to always have the BPD in mind. Personally I have a no romantic rule with suspected BPDs around me. It's done me rather well, kept me alive and sane.
I've become so interested in your extremely well articulated and concise analysis of these cases Dr. Grande! As a mental health worker for many years I am so fascinated by people and their behaviours and there is a fine line sometimes in getting an analysis wrong. It takes a certain high level of interpersonal skill and intellect to read a person's behaviour, that possibly, no amount of academia can achieve. Even with your academic status, you appear to have this incredible ability. I am nowhere near as academically educated as you are yet and you are incredible to listen to partly for this reason - I am learning from you immensely! I am very experienced on an interpersonal level so feel I can relate to your analysis ability and its ridiculously exciting to hear when your ideas align with mine as I follow you through your descriptions and analysis. Throughout this particular case, whilst you touched on it not being mentioned almost as a nod to your own possible prediction, I felt this person was radiating behaviours aligned with BPD and possibly histrionic. One of my biggest intruiges at the moment is how the manifestation of nurodivergent types can blend and impact on the level of personality disorder type - or if they're simply commonly interlinked. Whilst currently doing a challenging social work degree (UK), I myself have recently been diagnosed with dyslexia with an uncommon assessed type due to extremely high IQ verbal comprehension so my reading and writing abilities are very good, if not advanced (when writing properly - please, I hope nobody judges my late night youtube comments for spelling and grammer 😆) and contrary to the typical perception of dyslexia. It's only when analysing the assessment criteria for dyslexia in detail we/I discovered that there are so many aspects to who I am that are affected by my dyslexia that do not show in my reading and writing, like my processing speed with certain things and my memory recall when reading - this area is poor. This all can affect how I socially communicate, prepare speech and socially present. When I consider that all nuero-divergent types are basically on their own spectrum dependent on the nature and nurture of the personality, I wonder; how much does nuerdivergence play a part in the worsening of personality disorders and does it go undetected because they are essentially 'high functioning/high maskers/high IQ in a particular aspect of mental abilities'. I want to waffle endlessly about stuff like this so apologies to anyone I've bored to sleep along the way but truly, for anyone who is fascinated by this stuff, I LOVE reading your views and opinions. Thank you for your fascinating insights Dr. Grande and your followers!
I’m sure you get him into a psychological dilemna, not only about his shirts, his plants, his office, his humour, and his crime stories. Can you think of a good psychologists to refer him to ? I’m not analyzing, just speculating. 💚📚📚📚💚. I used to have only One pair of red cordoroy pants when I was 19. It’s that long ago, I forgot to spell Cord-a-Boy. 📚📗📚
Where do you get your shirts?!!! My dad is 89 and loves pastels...all I can find around this berg is DRAB, DRAB, DRAB. By the way... I’m addicted to your channel.... lol.😬
Don Sipple seems like such a sweet man. I watched some of the court proceedings, and felt so bad for him because he got upset on the stand. Ezra obviously has...issues.
My ex had BPD. She abused me, tortured me, and did the weirdest things within the relationship, cheated on me, left me, and then returned to me. Ezra reminds me so much of my ex. The future faking. Drifting through life and mooching off of romantic partners or friends, using people, spoke bad of everyone no longer in her life, would mirror the other person, it was a mess. She was such a mess. BPD is not a easy diagnosis I am sure, but folks with BPD need a lot more help than they are getting, and people need to be aware of entering a relationship with someone with BPD and the strings attached. Some of us are a lot more vulnerable to abuse than others.
Dr Grande, I’d be very interested to hear your analysis of Ian Watkins. To date, he is one of the most depraved individuals I can think of. Thank you for all of your engaging and consistent hard work!
@@8thhousemoonrabbit205 yeah, I forgot about the lost prophets but used to listen to them back in fifth or sixth grade, lol. But somehow I stumbled upon some crime report about Watkins a few months back, and thought his name sounded familiar... what a sick son of a bitch
@@MalcH I remembered them and I think I was around 16- I thought their music was catchy but the lead singer sounded pretentious in a way that was 'super cool™️' lol. I thought there were alot of rockers like him and figured he was one of those types who exploited his appeal, intuitively. I was really disturbed, still at how deeply depraved he turned out to be- I wouldn't have guessed, that. (I have trouble remembering his legal name, he always seemed like a gimmick)
Hey I have a suggestion. I'm hoping you would be willing to do a video on Bodybuilders and competitive bodybuilding. Im a Bodybuilder and personal trainer and I can tell you that the personality profiles and reasons behind why people do this is very interesting. I think it would make a very good video. There is also a few cases you could review. A guy names Craig Titus and his wife Kelly Ryan killed their assistant and went to prison for it. Also more recent and also more popular a Guy named Rich piana died. He was a huge figure in the bodybuilding world and was definitely a very interesting person.
I go to a bodybuilding gym but I work on 'muscles to go not muscles for show'. I see these guys and have had a few conversations and reckon there is enough material for a psychologists' convention. Having said that I train for boxing and that world is up there with regard to peculiarities too.
As a woman, whenever I hear another woman refer to herself as an "old soul", I try to keep my distance. They're the same as the ones who say that they "hate drama" and "not like other girls".
@@Kat-tr2ig they are always the ones who take pride in being “not like the other girls” and apparently don’t realize that there are millions of other girls believing and saying the same thing about themselves.
That's good to know. My wife of four years often described herself as this, just divorced me and took my kids using non-existent "abuse" as a reason. My life is destroyed and my kids (for whom I've been the only active parent) were taken from me. She even changed the password on my food stamps so I can't access the balance and changed the info on our stimulus account so I can't access any of my money. My point was not to slander the mother of my kids, but to reinforce the fact that those ladies be crazy.
@@scottmatznick6461 ya im sorry that’s terrible but it will get better! It always gets better even if it doesn’t seem like it now! The truth always comes out
I’m surprised she wasn’t diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Disassociation, anxiety and chronic depression are major parts of it. It’s not unusual for people with BPD to do extreme things in hopes that the person they like won’t abandon them
She's like a cartoon character poster child for borderline. Lack of identity, check. Inability to regulate emotions, check. Unstable relationships, check. Need for drama and attention, check. Frequent lying, check. Frantic efforts to avoid abandonment- super mega check! Hopefully she has access to DBT therapy in prison and actually sticks with it.
@@iskathegr8 The victim mentality, theatrical behavior and frantic efforts to avoid abandonment all scream bpd to me. If you scan the rest of the comments on this video, you'll see that many, many other people feel the same way... Although it's possible she may have aspd traits as well as bpd traits. There is a lot of overlap between all the cluster b personality disorders, that's why they are all placed together in the same diagnostic group.
Omg! Apart from concise, articulate, informative coverage of crime, my favorite thing about your imput is your humour. Love this quality about you. Thankyou. Xx
I read that Damien Echols from the west Memphis three reviews books about him and complains... just my daily fact. Lol 😆 I know this bc an author said he did this haha
I’m sure you get him into a psychological dilemna, not only about his shirts, his plants, his office, his humour, and his crime stories. Can you think of a good psychologists to refer him to ? I’m not analyzing, just speculating. 💚📚📚📚💚
Enjoyed your humor! Thank you! I find these videos very interesting to listen to while I work on my daily tasks. I’ve always been fascinated by psychology but haven’t studied it very deeply. Thank you for something enjoyable and thought provoking.
Very interesting analysis, Dr. Grande! Ezra McCandless has always puzzled me, particularly her manner of speaking. I'd love if you could analyze the case of Brooke Skylar Richardson as well! Thanks, as always, for all your insight.
Another fascinating analysis, Dr. Grande! I too found it interesting the comparisons between Ezra and the similar cases of Jodi Arias and Shayna Hubers. I was definitely thinking BPD would’ve been mentioned in there as well. 🤷♀️ Also - I noticed one of your little green friends was out today - I hope he’s/she’s not sick (maybe just felt like sleeping in this morning, or perhaps having a bad leaf day, hehehe). 🪴 💤
Dr. Grande. Could you please do an analysis of the mental health and personality of people who watch your videos instead of getting prepared for work tomorrow.

I always felt like she was constantly acting as a character in her own movie. One day she's a transgender youth another she is a intelligent college student, or an artsy quirky girl. And she was a very bad actress at that, throughout her trial I found her to be arrogant and unlikable and self centered, as well as lacking in any sense of self awareness.
Nicely put
BPD
Screams BPD
I got the same feeling she's nutty but aware
Wonderful analysis! Would have been perfect if you had given us the O.C.E.A.N rundown lol
Not a psychologist, but everything about Ezra screams BPD and extreme narcissism. She acts like the court room is her own little reality show until that sentence hits home
Watching her testimony I got serious 'Jodi Arias' vibes.
Just finished watching the whole trial and I couldn't agree more. Jodi arias and amber heard combined but even more insufferable somehow
BPD _is_ narcissism, but with crying 😁
Looks more like ASPD to me but I'm also not a psychologist
I was thinking more or less the same thing: Jodi Arias and Dalia Dippolito ( it took 3 trials before she could be convicted and stay convicted. Then again, Dalia had a little more "time on the table" as they say, in this particular game.) Someone on another video stated that she was just in the habit of using sex to get what she wanted. I don't think it was that cut and dried. I said I thought perhaps McCandless was the Perfect Dark Triad Trifecta, ie. She had all of the dark triad disorders. She needed Narcissistic supply, and for someone who didn't work, and had no money, she viewed herself as the ancient soul born into the world, and tried to give everyone with whom she came in contact a taste of that; that they were viewed as a soul mate. She did this by attempting to be all things (including all genders), at all times to all people. She is like a marketing campaign and the product is Ezra McCandless and she is selling the sizzle, not the steak.
After all, she was fine periodically moving out of Jason's house when SHE wanted to; (BPD), she wanted all people to remain in her circle for supply, she wanted the freedom to choose new partners with new experiences, and additional romance and money; or even to stop being a girl occasionally, which must be the penultimate for someone with BPD. I cannot take your calls right now; I am busy being a boy. Once I become a girl again, I will return your call; and due to her Machiavellian traits, she actually maintained a livelihood of just hanging around a coffee shop all day, casting out her line, and when a promising victim came along, she reeled them into her web. She was used to being the one who took breaks to experience new supply, but when she could not get Jason back, I think the Narcissistic injury was so great that the perpetrator that caused her to experience this failure had to pay with his life.
Of course, I'm not diagnosing anyone here; only speculating on what could be happening in a situation like this. )
I think the motive was rage. She had a sexual encounter with one of Mengel's friends. Mengel found out about it. Ezra didn't want Mengel knowing that she had cheated on him so she fabricated a story that the guy had raped her. She even went so far as to report it to the police and she seemed quite alright with sending the poor guy to prison for many years. Woodworth, the murder victim, had gone to the police and told them that McCandless had told him that the encounter was in fact consensual. The police investigated and did not end up charging the innocent guy with rape. The result of all this was that Mengel knew that she had cheated on him. She was not happy about that. This made her furious with Woodworth.
Exacto sadly
I've just watched the whole trial. What you say is true and to add more detail, she was in communication with Mengel with both planning on getting back together when she was spotted by woodworths flat mate coming out of his shower in a towel. That message got relayed to Mengel and he was furious (again no doubt). This happened 24 hours before Woodworth was killed and ezra was pressing everyone to tell Mengel it was a lie. She needed Woodworth to tell Mengel he was lying about John Hanson AND that he was coercing her into having a relationship she didn't want to have. She needed him to take responsibility for the shower encounter and admit their ongoing relationship was not actually happening. I imagine, the poor fella didn't comply with her request and she lost the plot. Mengel was a fool to stay in contact with her and in some part is responsible for Woodworths death. Mengel also sent a photo of graffiti on the door of Racys coffee shop where woodworth worked and they all hung out. The photo had her telephone number and the words 'fuq me' over it. She was humiliated, caught out, running out of road and losing the one thing she wanted, which was getting her own way. I think the girl 'gone snapped' and alex woodworth took the full force of the hit. Sad sad story. Rip to his family.
You're 2 years earlier, and far more eloquent, than I am! That's exactly how I saw it, too! She was sleeping with John (the guy she'd claimed had raped her), Jason, *and* Alex! ... and the guys were all friends with one another as well.
Yep. She is a narcissistic floozy.

Me too. I listen every night and his voice puts me to sleep
I've never heard of an "ancient love so powerful" between two people that would allow one of those people to be cheating on the other one within TWO MONTHS of living together. Sounds more like an ancient excuse to me. In simpler terms, she cheated on her man and then regretted it. She spoke to everyone and anyone who would listen about her private life, much more like a teenage school girl relationship where she blabbed every detail to her friends.
Plus, I believe she didn’t know whether the baby was Alex’s or her boyfriend’s. I believe this contributed to her decision to get an abortion.

@@francisbrasher7045 here is my diagnosis, 1. Grande has a nice voice that projects confidence and humility all at once. 2. He comes off smart curious but non judgemental. Item No. 3. Dry humor may be the result of Grandes Choleric personality. This is only my opinion.
McCandless played the two (really three) men against each other. To commit the murder, she lured Woodworth to a remote area and stabbed him in the back of the head when he wasn’t looking. After being convicted, her mother set herself up as a distributor of McCandless’ artwork and promoted her daughter as wrongfully convicted. Ezra was glad to go along with the delusion; this, after having uttered a half-baked apology before sentencing. Woodworth and Mengle both ignored many warning signs that McCandless was emotionally unstable. Woodworth wrote many entries in his journal beseeching McCandless to just let him know whether she really wanted to be in a relationship with him. So as a witness in her own trial, she got to kill him again, painting him as a sex-crazed abuser. His family, which knew him to be a gentle soul who could hurt no one, had to sit through the trial listening to her kill the reputation of their slain relative (son, brother, uncle, cousin, etc.).
The crazy ones who kill the guy ALWAYS then murder their character at trial. I’m surprised she didn’t call him a pedo they usually toss that out there too 🤔😡
call him
This is a very interesting case. I am excited to hear what Dr Grande has to offer. I found Ezra to be highly manipulative and pseudo intellectual. Frankly, people like her annoy me.. I think she manipulated the man she killed and grew frustrated when he didn't play her game.

@@alladreamwedreamed I agree 100%. This case was so confusing and disjointed, and all over the place. There didn't seem to be a clear reason or motive for the killing.

Right. My father used to say, 'You young lady, have not been around the block!
I simply cannot leave this video without stating this: Lime Green is Dr. Grande’s colour for sure 😍
I think it goes back to her inability to regulate her emotions with regard to her relationship to her guy she wanted. She was convinced that Woodworth was the reason she lost him but unwilling to accept that her own actions were the cause rather than Woodworth’s refusal to lie and incriminate himself for her. As a very young woman, he was her first real love and I think she fixated on him and the sabotaged herself. I don’t know what her plan was when she rolled back into town and she probably didn’t either but she was going to do something to get the man’s attention. I think it was just her rage at not being able to get what she wanted and Woodworth symbolized the reason for that. He symbolized her mistake and her inability to control things.
But she had nicked her Dad's knife before she set out although she may have thought she was just going to threaten him into backing up her version of all her dalliances

yep... i mean, she's wearing fake glasses.. if you think wearing fake glasses makes you look more intelligent, you gotta be psychotic on some level or another
@@stefanforrer2573 Ha! They are the latest fashion accessory that guilty defendants wear in court. Jodi, Shayla, Katie in Florida...the list goes on and on. I am really surprised that defense attorneys continue to try using this trick when it's clear that all glasses do is make the guilty defendants look guiltier. With Ezra, it reminded me of the fake glasses that first graders parade around with.
I watched this trial and Ms. Monica (Ezra) LOVED every minute of it! When Jason walked in to testify against her, she literally blushed like a teenager. I don't think she appreciated the fact that she killed someone, ended their life, and Woodworth's family and loved ones suffered an immense loss because of her actions. She is self indulging and immature, although she portrays herself as this deep thinking progressive person, she is simply a murderer. Just my humble opinion.
You always do an amazing job Dr. of telling the facts, giving a professional analysis, and sprinkling in the perfect blend of your unique, deadpan humor in the process. Thank you! LOVE the shirt btw. 😉
I agree. This case is one I watched also. She is very immature and selfish.

@@JustMe-px9qy Indeed. Sisters under the skin.
I watched her testimony (listened, really) while I painted last week. I actually had to turn it off because her fake intellect was so annoying. She is a talented artist. I think she killed that guy because of simple resentment and yes, foolish thinking that with him dead, she could have the older guy. I am a survivor of domestic violence. Her story of defending herself is bullshit. Another great one, thank you!
The faux intellect when she couldn't pronounce words like albeit or altruistic was painful. The fact she was allowed to interpret the victims writings was disgusting
@@whims6278 really disgusting!
@@whims6278That sticks with me most in this case. I would have loved to have had just five minutes of conversation with Alex. I know I wouldn't be able to keep up, but my favorite thing to do with people is to pick their brains and see what makes them themselves. Alex was extremely open about his worldview, his philosophies, desires, motives, morals, weaknesses, etc. And his worldview that he describes is one of selfless love and endless empathy for those around him. Even hearing about the type of person he was helps visualize the blinding light of pure GOODNESS that he was.
A senseless, tragic loss. I hope that his family publishes at least some of his writings because in a world as horrible as this one, much of what he wrote about is a healing balm on the festering infection of greed, anger, and apathy that we are facing today. I pray his family finds peace that he is now an angel watching over them and all those he sought to help in his short but well-lived life.
Same; I was watching her testimony on the dreading YT channel and I just couldn't take it anymore. I don't see how so many people were fooled by her so-called charm. She was hardly charming at all. Her lack of remorse in saying "sorry for your loss" was very telling, as if to distance herself from having committed the crime.
@@amimi92When she started out that she was sorry, I was extremely hopeful that she would finally own up to her actions and take responsibility for her crimes. But then she proceeded to downplay her role in Alex's death. I was disappointed only in the fact that I was hoping to find something redeeming in her personality. Every person is capable of being better by facing the consequences of their actions and apologizing. But she once again ran away from the truth of the matter. I don't think she'll reflect on her actions for the next fifty years she'll definitely be locked up. Not one thought will be spared in sympathy to the family, to Alex, to her friends, to Jason, to John, etc. She believes she's completely in the right.

I’d love to see Dr. Grande’s take on CHRIS McCandless. He starved to death in 1992 after isolating himself, in the rugged terrain of Alaska - completely unprepared and disillusioned with what it took to survive in that environment.

I think it's interesting that her counsel likely coached her on her physical appearance (use of over-large glasses that don't hide her eyes, pink and pastels, and the flowing hair imply a childlike innocence), but she continued to use inappropriate word choice. It would suggest that she either went against counsel or they didn't really try that hard.
Or maybe she is just dumb as a rock, which is evident whenever she opened her mouth.
I watched this trial. The way she acted when her ex walked into court was too creepy.
My theory is that she killed Alex because he wouldn’t lie about the kind of relationship they had and she didn’t want Jason to have the truth.
Plus some other friend had spilled the beans to Jason literally a couple of days before the murder and Jason dumped her yet again . Jason was constantly changing his mind about whether he wanted a relationship with her . Should have known better at his age and firmly dumped her after the abortion when he bailed and sodded off to the redwoods for 2 weeks
I think her baseline is creepy in court. Like calculating and recalibrating each second while seeming too calm and chill. Something with her head tilts
Dr. Grande, did you watch Jason Mengel testify? I watched it on the court TV, RUclips channel. The court TV host commented on Ezra’s reaction to Mengle. Her facial expression definitely changed when she saw him. She appeared to still be infatuated with him.

Dr. Grande always provides an insightful case analysis synopsis with an incredible sense of humor; he never fails to make me chuckle, which is ironic given the typical subject matter/s.
I watch Dr Grande’s videos all the time but never commented on either of them.....but somethings he said in this video about how the world 🌎 will move on without this person and her poor decisions made so much sense. A deeply meaningful lesson. Nothing is so much worth it than your life, your freedom, your sanity and your peace of mind. In all things let patience and your head lead you and not your emotions
The tragedy of teen motherhood. (McCandless's mother.) It burns me up that there are television shows glorifying teen motherhood. There are so many impressionable 13 & 14 year old girls who watch these shows. I think Ezra's many peculiar actions indicate how insecure and attention starved she must have felt from early on in her life.

To me this sounded heavily Borderline Personality Disorder. It seems like her "plan" (for lack of a better term) was in some way intended to manipulate the sympathies of the man she most desired. Although I'm not qualified to diagnose anything, for a long while now I have extraordinary suspensions that my sister has BPD, and I believe that the birth of my nephew (who I eventually adopted) was a plan to more or less trap her boyfriend into staying with her. (Obviously backfired.) I'm not saying that people with BPD are masterminds, just saying that the motivation (desperation) to hold on to people leads them to make poor decisions.
People who are quick to move the relationship forward with you are also often quick to have you fall out of favor with them. This is especially true in the case of Borderlines. Don't put much stock into such relationships. It always backfires and you'll be the one holding the bill while they run off with their new flavor of the month.
I know this is an old comment, but this is SO TRUE!!!!!
It's important to always have the BPD in mind. Personally I have a no romantic rule with suspected BPDs around me. It's done me rather well, kept me alive and sane.

thank you for the awesome content dr. grande!
I've become so interested in your extremely well articulated and concise analysis of these cases Dr. Grande! As a mental health worker for many years I am so fascinated by people and their behaviours and there is a fine line sometimes in getting an analysis wrong. It takes a certain high level of interpersonal skill and intellect to read a person's behaviour, that possibly, no amount of academia can achieve. Even with your academic status, you appear to have this incredible ability.
I am nowhere near as academically educated as you are yet and you are incredible to listen to partly for this reason - I am learning from you immensely! I am very experienced on an interpersonal level so feel I can relate to your analysis ability and its ridiculously exciting to hear when your ideas align with mine as I follow you through your descriptions and analysis. Throughout this particular case, whilst you touched on it not being mentioned almost as a nod to your own possible prediction, I felt this person was radiating behaviours aligned with BPD and possibly histrionic. One of my biggest intruiges at the moment is how the manifestation of nurodivergent types can blend and impact on the level of personality disorder type - or if they're simply commonly interlinked.
Whilst currently doing a challenging social work degree (UK), I myself have recently been diagnosed with dyslexia with an uncommon assessed type due to extremely high IQ verbal comprehension so my reading and writing abilities are very good, if not advanced (when writing properly - please, I hope nobody judges my late night youtube comments for spelling and grammer 😆) and contrary to the typical perception of dyslexia. It's only when analysing the assessment criteria for dyslexia in detail we/I discovered that there are so many aspects to who I am that are affected by my dyslexia that do not show in my reading and writing, like my processing speed with certain things and my memory recall when reading - this area is poor. This all can affect how I socially communicate, prepare speech and socially present.
When I consider that all nuero-divergent types are basically on their own spectrum dependent on the nature and nurture of the personality, I wonder; how much does nuerdivergence play a part in the worsening of personality disorders and does it go undetected because they are essentially 'high functioning/high maskers/high IQ in a particular aspect of mental abilities'.
I want to waffle endlessly about stuff like this so apologies to anyone I've bored to sleep along the way but truly, for anyone who is fascinated by this stuff, I LOVE reading your views and opinions. Thank you for your fascinating insights Dr. Grande and your followers!
I’d love to see an analysis on Chris McCandless if that hasn’t been done already!
the next day!!! check it out!
Been waiting a hot minute for this one. Insane story. Great work as always.
The colorful shirts are making me rethink my earthtone wardrobe! I like the new set-up, and the content as always ☺️
I’m sure you get him into a psychological dilemna, not only about his shirts, his plants, his office, his humour, and his crime stories. Can you think of a good psychologists to refer him to ? I’m not analyzing, just speculating. 💚📚📚📚💚. I used to have only One pair of red cordoroy pants when I was 19. It’s that long ago, I forgot to spell Cord-a-Boy. 📚📗📚
RUclips's algorithm loves this guy...
Great analysis Dr Grande loved the green shirt. The shade was unbelievably good. Thank Dr Grande you are the best!
@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey the ninga stage Erza yes her name is way "out there ".l like your name too.
Love your new shirts Dr Grande. They brighten up your deliveries immensely although your topics are still spot on 🙂🌸💚
Where do you get your shirts?!!! My dad is 89 and loves pastels...all I can find around this berg is DRAB, DRAB, DRAB. By the way... I’m addicted to your channel.... lol.😬
@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey
Pistachio...Yes!!!! You are dead on with that.🙂👍🏽
Don Sipple seems like such a sweet man. I watched some of the court proceedings, and felt so bad for him because he got upset on the stand. Ezra obviously has...issues.
Another slam dunk from Dr. Grande 👏
Your channel is addictive. I remember what you say just like the biology teacher I had in 9th grade a hundred years ago. Your awesome, Dr. Grande!!!
My ex had BPD. She abused me, tortured me, and did the weirdest things within the relationship, cheated on me, left me, and then returned to me. Ezra reminds me so much of my ex. The future faking. Drifting through life and mooching off of romantic partners or friends, using people, spoke bad of everyone no longer in her life, would mirror the other person, it was a mess. She was such a mess.
BPD is not a easy diagnosis I am sure, but folks with BPD need a lot more help than they are getting, and people need to be aware of entering a relationship with someone with BPD and the strings attached. Some of us are a lot more vulnerable to abuse than others.
Indeed. After my borderline ex & I split, I felt like I was the one going crazy.
Dr Grande, I’d be very interested to hear your analysis of Ian Watkins. To date, he is one of the most depraved individuals I can think of. Thank you for all of your engaging and consistent hard work!
Good call
Lost-prophets gui?
@@8thhousemoonrabbit205 yeah, I forgot about the lost prophets but used to listen to them back in fifth or sixth grade, lol. But somehow I stumbled upon some crime report about Watkins a few months back, and thought his name sounded familiar... what a sick son of a bitch
@@MalcH giving babies meth and then violating them is unbelievable
@@MalcH I remembered them and I think I was around 16- I thought their music was catchy but the lead singer sounded pretentious in a way that was 'super cool™️' lol.
I thought there were alot of rockers like him and figured he was one of those types who exploited his appeal, intuitively.
I was really disturbed, still at how deeply depraved he turned out to be- I wouldn't have guessed, that. (I have trouble remembering his legal name, he always seemed like a gimmick)
Hey I have a suggestion.
I'm hoping you would be willing to do a video on Bodybuilders and competitive bodybuilding. Im a Bodybuilder and personal trainer and I can tell you that the personality profiles and reasons behind why people do this is very interesting. I think it would make a very good video.
There is also a few cases you could review. A guy names Craig Titus and his wife Kelly Ryan killed their assistant and went to prison for it. Also more recent and also more popular a Guy named Rich piana died. He was a huge figure in the bodybuilding world and was definitely a very interesting person.
Good idea
Also a murderer in St Kitts I believe in the 90s, a Weider magazine guy
I was thinking the Case of UFC fighter War machine
I think that is a great idea. I dated a body builder briefly, but he had crazy mood swings. I later assumed it was the roids.
I go to a bodybuilding gym but I work on 'muscles to go not muscles for show'. I see these guys and have had a few conversations and reckon there is enough material for a psychologists' convention. Having said that I train for boxing and that world is up there with regard to peculiarities too.
When a woman starts calling herself "old soul", that's a cue for a homie to dip
As a woman, whenever I hear another woman refer to herself as an "old soul", I try to keep my distance. They're the same as the ones who say that they "hate drama" and "not like other girls".
@@Kat-tr2ig they are always the ones who take pride in being “not like the other girls” and apparently don’t realize that there are millions of other girls believing and saying the same thing about themselves.
That's good to know. My wife of four years often described herself as this, just divorced me and took my kids using non-existent "abuse" as a reason. My life is destroyed and my kids (for whom I've been the only active parent) were taken from me. She even changed the password on my food stamps so I can't access the balance and changed the info on our stimulus account so I can't access any of my money.
My point was not to slander the mother of my kids, but to reinforce the fact that those ladies be crazy.
@@scottmatznick6461 ya im sorry that’s terrible but it will get better! It always gets better even if it doesn’t seem like it now! The truth always comes out
this is so very true
Dr Grande, I love your new backdrop, mic, plants, and shirt. Excellent!!!!
Thank you always, for your info and insights.
McCandles was/is strange.
I’m surprised she wasn’t diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Disassociation, anxiety and chronic depression are major parts of it. It’s not unusual for people with BPD to do extreme things in hopes that the person they like won’t abandon them
She's like a cartoon character poster child for borderline. Lack of identity, check. Inability to regulate emotions, check. Unstable relationships, check. Need for drama and attention, check. Frequent lying, check. Frantic efforts to avoid abandonment- super mega check! Hopefully she has access to DBT therapy in prison and actually sticks with it.
@@emmagatewood3898people with BPD RARELY commit murder check mate so you’re dead wrong
@@emmagatewood3898
It looks more like ASPD to me tbh
@@iskathegr8 The victim mentality, theatrical behavior and frantic efforts to avoid abandonment all scream bpd to me. If you scan the rest of the comments on this video, you'll see that many, many other people feel the same way... Although it's possible she may have aspd traits as well as bpd traits. There is a lot of overlap between all the cluster b personality disorders, that's why they are all placed together in the same diagnostic group.
Is see fear of loosing the person she controlled. Not regular fear of abandonment
Omg! Apart from concise, articulate, informative coverage of crime, my favorite thing about your imput is your humour. Love this quality about you. Thankyou. Xx
I wonder if any of the perps Dr Grande has discussed have ever reached out to him to discuss their mental health with him.
Good question.
They wouldn't dare, knowing they would receive severe burns
I read that Damien Echols from the west Memphis three reviews books about him and complains... just my daily fact. Lol 😆 I know this bc an author said he did this haha
I just ramdomly saw your book on Amazon! I can't wait to get and read it
I didn't know about this ? I will be going straight go to Amazon .
I just preordered! Dr. G., how do I go about getting my copy autographed???😉🤩
I didn’t know that . Dr. Grande please talk about it . 🙂
thank you for posting this video! i have been asking and you delivered, i'm so pleased.
Dr. Grande, this is always one of my favorite shirts of yours! Spring green looks great on you!
I love the little jabs you take at this psychopath! 😂 loved the analysis and breakdown of the case, you’ve got a new subscriber!
I enjoyed hearing conclusions at the end, dr. Grande
Loving all the new classy, colorful shirts. You rock Dr. Grande.
I’m sure you get him into a psychological dilemna, not only about his shirts, his plants, his office, his humour, and his crime stories. Can you think of a good psychologists to refer him to ? I’m not analyzing, just speculating. 💚📚📚📚💚
This is excellent Dr. Grande. Thank you.
Enjoyed your humor! Thank you! I find these videos very interesting to listen to while I work on my daily tasks. I’ve always been fascinated by psychology but haven’t studied it very deeply. Thank you for something enjoyable and thought provoking.
Very interesting analysis, Dr. Grande! Ezra McCandless has always puzzled me, particularly her manner of speaking. I'd love if you could analyze the case of Brooke Skylar Richardson as well! Thanks, as always, for all your insight.
Another fascinating analysis, Dr. Grande! I too found it interesting the comparisons between Ezra and the similar cases of Jodi Arias and Shayna Hubers. I was definitely thinking BPD would’ve been mentioned in there as well. 🤷♀️ Also - I noticed one of your little green friends was out today - I hope he’s/she’s not sick (maybe just felt like sleeping in this morning, or perhaps having a bad leaf day, hehehe).

I like the moving & changing small cactus to your left.
Your analysis is always superb! 🙏🏻
loved this video. love your humor bits. so fun
