I think his laziness has hurt his life so much. Since he has graduated from High School he has not been able to hold a job for more then a month. If he was less lazy he would be able to work a full time job like a normal adult and keep the house relatively clean. He would also put Barb in an assisted living too.
Eh, well, he doesn't have a good reason to have a job. And he can't keep the house clean or put Barb in a home because Barb won't let him. Laziness is unrelated to these problems.
Why does he not have a good reason to get a job?
From Chris' perspective, not a normal person's perspective. Chris doesn't think he needs a job. He's not being lazy about the issue (yet), he just doesn't have a good reason to get a job.
 
These are all big problems, but I voted laziness because it's the one thing that stops him from working on any of his issues.
 
The people that surround him.

Barb is a psycho bitch, Bob gave up too easily and Chris' 'friends' are nothing more than asspatters.

What Chris needs in his life is someone willing to give him a slap.

All it needs is for him to do the wrong thing, pissing off the wrong person, on the wrong day, and kick the autistic will become reality.

A sweet, sweet reality. :alog:
 
Thinking about this, it's not so easy to call a particular problem.

[*] Laziness. This is the person who said that doing chores counted as trials and tribulations, basically. Like okay, I have done very little physical work in my life, but I'm 99% sure I've done much more than Chris ever has. Being the tall girl, a lot of boy work would get put on me when they could hide somewhere and pretend they were busy. I've helped move couches and tables, small things in the grand scheme, but I get the sense that Chris has never had to do even that much. If Chris had to move a couch from outside to inside, no doubt he would have to pause a bunch of times to "rest" or whatever. So his parents never made him do anything at all physical and that reinforced his laziness.
[*] In 2013, this reinforced laziness isn't seen as laziness at all. He thinks, whether it's because of his autism or not, that he's too special to have to do any kind of work. He got SSI in lieu of work, he spent 6 years on a 2 year degree, he never had to work for anything, and he thinks it's because he's special. Instead of realizing like a normal person would that he isn't entitled to things without working for them, he assumes him being 'special' is all he has to have to get through life.
[*] Delusion. The view that he is special and thus doesn't have to do what the rest of us do is nothing more than delusion. He has spent so long deluding himself he's special and doesn't have to work that he wholeheartedly believes it, even in the face of life going the exact opposite. The delusion has been growing no doubt thanks to Borb's ridiculous views on trolling, Mike Snyder, Lucas and Mimms, etc. He thinks the entire world is out to get him, a real life kick the autist in perpetuity. He believes this because he is always right.
[*] He thinks he's always right. Autism may as well be analogous with Always Right Syndrome in OPL's mind. Because he's special and entitled to his laziness, because the delusion inspired by or helped along by his parents is so strong, Chris is under the impression that simply believing something makes it right. Magical thinking is one way of saying it, but it's more than that, because even people who are intense into magical thinking can realize they're wrong and regret it. Chris has no capacity to admit, in a TRUE and HONEST way that he's wrong, because he just doesn't believe it can happen. In his mind, he is special, he is entitled to do nothing but gain everything, and therefore, he is right about everything.
[*] He can't grow up. As many have pointed out time and time again, Chris is stunted developmentally. He is still living somewhere between early childhood and the mid-teens. Whether he has the capacity to mentally age as far as 20 remains to be seen, but as yet, he has totally and completely refused to let go of any ridiculous belief that should have been proven untrue over and over. He is the definition of manchild. He is a child in a man's body, likely by sheer force of will and terrible parenting.

That's just a few of the things that could tie as his biggest problem. It's not just one thing, it's an entire mindset, a Chris-set.
 
He's lazy. Plenty of successful people are even more narcissistic than Chris. Everything he could do to get his life back on track, he won't because he's lazy, not because he's immature or delusional. And the root of this laziness are both his parents and the US government, who basically made his life easy mode by giving him everything he always wanted without him having to ever work for it. And when he actually has to pull up his pants and do some actual work, he doesn't know how, he's not used to doing anything that isn't playing video games or loitering around the mall. It's not his fault, that's just the way he was raised. I'd be a lazy fuck too if my parents and government gave me enough money to never have to work a single day of my life.
 
The least of Chris' problems is his autism. Its a factor but rarely a game changer in his life.


Chris' biggest problem, in my eyes, is his complete and total inability to practice introspection which is basically a combination of stupidity and narcissism. Chris is failing at every single aspect of life. Theres numerous reasons for this but its mainly because he's still living like a 4 year old at age 31. Maturity is basically just learning what works and doesn't work in this world and applying it to your day to day life. Staying up all night playing vidya doesn't pay your bills so you start going to bed at 10 and waking up in time to go to work. You learn that nothing good is ever just handed to you so you learn to work hard for things you want. And thats how you grow as a person. You learn lessons and improve yourself because on some level we all subscribe to the idea that we are not perfect nor will we ever be perfect. We don't even believe we're self-actualized. We're just trying to get better each time. Shit is not complex.

Chris refuses to change anything about himself because hes convinced that he's currently self-actualized. Let that settle in for a moment. Chris currently believes that hes currently being the best person he can be. Work wise, love wise, everything. Chris believes that he currently stands to learn nothing because the way he lives life is the best way he can go about it. Playing vidya all day, whining on facebook, getting banned from every other place in the area. He literally believes thats the best he can do without his sweetheart and honestly I don't think even graet direktor chandla believes he can do much better with a sweetheart.

Thats pretty fucking stupid. But its also extremely narcissistic and arrogant to not even remotely consider that something you're doing may be causing at least part of this.

Well, he thinks the sweetheart is going to do everything for him. Also, acquiring a sweetheart is going to shut down all the trolls at the same time.
 
Being out of touch with reality, and having unrealistic expectations.
 
Really hard to pick just one, but I chose infantilism. The adult child's poster boy, ladies and gentlemen.
 
I voted for something else. It's really a combination of all of the options, and a particularly nasty one at that. I've been called lazy and an ass at times, but at least I WORK ON MY PROBLEMS.

That second line... What? We're going to disappear if the miracle of ages happens and someone puts up with his bullshit for a while?

Oh, I was just saying that he thinks that his theoretical girlfriend will make his life perfect. There's a grocery list of things wrong with his life, so I would only assume he thinks that she'd find a way to solve them all for him.
 
Well i dont know what his biggest problem is, but I sure as hell know what his tiniest problem is :pickle:

:ween: :ween: :ween:
 
His biggest problem would have to be how he's become mentally unstable over the past year. Isolation would make even the best of us at least a little loopy. The worst of us, on the other hand? Hoo, boy...
 
I don't want to come off as some one who compares himself to Chris all the time but this thought popped into my head about a week ago. As you might remember from my other thread about the volunteer work I have HFA myself. But any way one of my own problems is that lack initiative (I needed some one else to set up the volunteer work for me and when I'm there I'm at a loss for what to do with out some one to tell me what needs to be done).

Don't get me wrong Chris is lazy but I think the fact that he lacks initiative and more importantly the fact that Borb have never taken the initiative for him when it was needed is actually a bigger factor in Chris being were he is know than his laziness.

Maybe I'm completely wrong here, or maybe this is something you all knew already but either way what do you guys think??
