According to
@Marvin , Chris is not really lonely, he socializes well and has friends.
When Chris complains about stuff like that, he could just be trying to guilt women into taking care of them.
I wouldn't say he socializes "well". But I'm also not saying he doesn't. The bigger picture of what I'm getting at is that people think they have a lot more accurate picture of Chris' day-to-day life than they actually do. We don't stalk Chris. We don't know what his day-to-day life is like. Assumptions that people have, like that he's a basement dweller are inaccurate. Not saying people don't have good reasons for thinking it, but it's based on outdated information.
Think about it: when was the last time we had regular interactions with Chris? Some of you might not remember it, but we had almost daily content from Chris, in the form of frequent leaked emails, and videos and chats. But that was all back before Bob died. Bob died in 2011, 5 years ago. Since then we've seen a growing list of examples of him getting out, socializing, genuinely enjoying himself. These things all surprised the fuck out of us. Remember when we first found out about Impulse?
We've seen him keep secrets about things he's doing IRL for years, things that only eventually leak because someone caught a picture of him. Most of his socialization activities we'll never know.
And I can tell you there are things that will surprise the fuck out of you. For example, Chris might've taken a friend to the movies, Chris might've gone to a friends house to play video games, or Chris might've been invited to a birthday party. (That is to say, it might be 0 of these three, 1 of these three or all of these three, multiple times.)
Admittedly, Chris still has lofty goals that he hasn't achieved yet. But he's still having fun in the meanwhile.
Of course, this all begs the question: what's my part in this? What do I know? What haven't I revealed? Basically, I've heard rumors. They vary in credibility. But I've heard things, that I find pretty believable, that really surprise me. Like the thing about going to the movies with a friend.
For the past few years, trying to peer into Chris' life based on his public image has been like trying to predict earthquakes by reading a seismograph from the back of a moving pickup trick. Chris doesn't go onto the internet when times are good. He goes online when he needs money or he's bitchy about something.
Now, all these good prospects aside, Chris might do something to get arrested, with the unban me contracts. That's a solid possibility. But then again, he might just stew about that, but do nothing but spam gamestop with letters.
I think the last big view into Chris' life we'll have is either another arrest, or Barb dying.
Or maybe someone will go to Charlottesville IRL and set themselves up as a new girlfriend, and string Chris along for another few years. Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this is probably the case. No matter how often he goes out to socialize or how many friends he makes, Chris still has the void in his heart that requires a sweetheart, and will still keep telling everyone around him how lonely he feels.
Eh, he has fun. He's not constantly blubbering into his
. It's more that he's got a persistent underlying current of stress about bills, and then Barb's death. That kind of puts a damper on things.
