He's not unique, there's one other person I've seen who is incredibly like Chris including his mannerisms, believing his daydreams are psychic powers and basically being a huge entitled creep and that person is Jeff Turner who featured in the documentary "I Think We're Alone Now":
Currently, they can't bail him out with any amount of money. The court declined to assign any bail amount and simply ordered him held without bail, not even a million dollars or some unreasonable amount. Not even Elon Musk could bail him out.
take it easy sped it's just a question
You get your answer, and act more dumb. Good for you
That's fascinating. I wonder if theres a sort of "recipe" of illnesses that make people like that, or if it's more an environmental exposure thing. Nature or nurture type deal from his consumed media and the way Chris was shielded from the world and his disabilities.
As others have said, not unique. It's autism combined with an enduring wish to believe in imaginary friends and superhuman powers. Basically childish fantasies kept long past the point where he should have discarded them as the delusions that they are.
Doesn't help his parents never bothered to shame them out of him.
I have no idea what I'm talking about here, but I believe this could be brought on by several factors. Without the life experience that encourages you to reflect on your own behaviors, you won't gain much self awareness. This can be encouraged by social isolation. Combine that with a lack of empathy and a dash of narcissism? The person in question will never have any motivation for the self awareness that leads to these positive traits... because there is no need to change. They will never stop embarassing themselves because their brains literally do not have the ability to process that what they are doing is wrong. They never learned how to integrate that because they never learned how to care about it. Shame will only drive them further into that blind defensiveness.
No, this is mostly correct according to what we know about narcissism in psychology/psychiatry so far, at least with regards to how the behavior gets perpetuated. Admiting to yourself that you've fucked up and hurt a lot of people means criticizing yourself in a way that you can't possibly cope with because you have most likely *never* reflected on your own behavior. And genuinely admitting that you've hurt just one person will mean that you have to come to terms with the rest of the shit you've done.
Some of the tardwranglers were also excepcional, as shown by the High School leaks some teachers were pointing out and "fixing" grammar errors that did not exist.
Did he not have the money to hire someone to help his kid or did he just not care?
He had money, but used it to buy friendship for his son as opposed to help. Bob had an old world view of professional help, and he did not want to go through it; he wanted to help Chris in his own way, which backfired horribly. The only professional help he even bothered to get Chris was speech therapy.
Bob must be rolling around in his grave now. Imagine? What would he THINK of all this? Good thing he’s dead.
He must be thinking "I failed my idiot son." Imagine if he was still alive when the house fire happened? That would have prompted Bob to take his belt and finally give Chris a whipping he so much deserved.
My own mother has that overdramatic, emotional manipulative attitude. The best thing to do is reduce contact to a bare minimum and let Momma know to let you be a fucking adult. Chris never got to that point.
