I wonder how many real sociopaths have been like Pat throughout time?
Obviously the internet and social media have been the biggest influence on Pat and his individual situation.
I am sure that a lot more of them would have ended up like Pat had they had this combination of reach, audience and record of their lies and manipulation attempts.
It’s like how there could have been many Chris Chans before, but without the internet they never progressed to being anything other than a local village idiot.
Also in both cases, the interference of random internet users with malicious intent has caused them to become even worse than they would have been.
In the sociopathic cases though, there is a certain “glamorous” idea of sociopaths being good looking and manipulative, like the nonce from Fifty shades of gay or American Psycho, but I am saying that I bet a substantial amount of them were actually huge man-babies like Pat.
But previously their behavior and emotional abuse was only confined to their families and spouses.
The short lived black comedy series, “Kevin can fuck himself”, is not only a probable more accurate depiction of a more common sociopath, it also has some parallels to Pat.
At least how Pat thinks he comes across to “friends”.
