About the Job

Type: The Overly Familiar Ex Who Never Leaves Psychology: She’s warm, observant, emotionally fluent, and a bit too clingy, which is exactly why every single one of her exes is still in her life, in fact she still lives with two of them. She remembers birthdays, keeps spare keys, dog-sits, and checks in “just to make sure you ate.” She insists she’s totally moved on, yet somehow knows where all her exes are, who they’re dating, and whether they’re hydrated. She chases connection, and validation. Comedic Tone: Soft delivery, devastating implications. Her humor comes from casually revealing deeply intimate knowledge she should not still have. Quirks: Serious and intense, all of her exes were crazy. But yet stares a bit too long, and is overly judgmental and protective.
