Thoughts about DSP's Psychology - Dr Fred Freud's Office

[TheGoutburglar]

I know I harp on this a lot, but it is for good reason, because it really does matter for Phil's own well-being that he has never put any money away, ever, and has no intention of ever fixing that problem. It also ensures that he can't ever quit streaming/begging six days a week, he can never get ahead enough to even take one extra day off, entirely because of his spending being ridiculous, daily, and completely counter-productive. If he's really worried about losing out on even more money, it's because he wants to waste as much as possible on that stupid fucking game, and can't do that without begging six days a week, all 56 weeks of every year.

That's what he cares about at this point, being able to fund Champions for another day. It's why he has spent money playing it instead of paying his mortgage more than once, something I wouldn't have believed if the bank leaks hadn't happened. I thought he was attached enough to that condo for big boy LARPing purposes to never fall behind on that, but clearly I was wrong. Champions is THAT important to him.

It would be one thing if, like some people speculated, Phil had been playing everyone for years now by going along with the view of him being an idiot with no foresight while building up a stockpile of money so he can one day pull a MySpace Tom and tell the world to kiss his rich, retired ass. I actually would've respected that, congratulated him on fooling us, playing the long game, seeing the forest for the trees, and making a sacrifice for a great reward at the end. But we know he hasn't. He has indeed missed out on a lot of money over the years, and made it worse by wasting every single dollar he didn't miss out on. So really, Phil has missed out on all of it, and still does, because he won't stop playing Champions and having to do a stupid streaming schedule in order to cover the bill. Which then in turn hurts his ability to improve his career, because it looks odd to the uninitiated, and suspicious to those who've heard a thing or two about how he lives his life.

Because really, how DO you explain why someone needs tips so badly, every stream, six days a week, every week, every year, when they also get monthly checks, and are supposedly a mature adult with a business degree, and their job doesn't have considerable overhead? Especially since nobody else lives that way, including the retards who keep floating his retarded lifestyle. The retards may not be able to do the math there, but normal people do, and the worse Phil gets about that shit, the more he drives them away. Not good news for him, if he genuinely wants to escape the retard circus.

I honestly wish they came up with some new DSM term for this level of dysfunction.

Ego, greed, addiction, NPD and being terminally online (granted, due to the nature of his 'work') and you have Phil.

He's such an interesting person to examine. You just have so many questions but cannot get an answer.

His childhood pretty much made him who he is. Yet we never see early Phil pictures. They simply do not exist. I've seen streamers overshare their kid pictures frequently. We only get Phil when he was 10 years younger. Anyway:

• Helicopter Mom who treated him like her number one handsome boy with no sort of discipline, turned into a spoiled brat. Also smoked him retarded with 2nd hand smoke and in the womb.
• Dad not around to teach this idiot how to ride a bike.
• Raised around bunch of low IQ local CT people.
• Went to school with said low IQ local niggers that he thinks hes the smartest in the room after breezing through School Of Basketball and Chicken.
• Friends being second to none at this point.

Easy to chalk it up as autism/entitled/narcissist but I think its more interesting how it came to this point.

Here is a proposition: DSP'ism. His one claim to fame that his name will be the name for dysfunctional people.

Can we talk about how paranoid Phil is as a person? This is a man who at the very worst had two police officers do a wellness check and he literally is so afraid he has to live in a gated community because he thinks anyone gives a fuck enough about him to hurt him. Not even the most angry, deranged detractor would risk prison time to hurt you Phil. The notion some troll is going to drive across the country and climb over the gate and into his community then breakdown his door is a paranoid delusion. It has zero basis in reality. His paranoia borders on some kind of mental illness in my opinion although he is a massive fucking pussy.'

Chris Chan had a much, MUCH higher chance of someone wanting to hurt him irl and his address has been well known for over a decade. Not a single person has ever tried to hurt him.

I personally think it's his narcissism + being a gigantic pussy. He thinks he's this huge controversial shock jock on the internet who has amassed an army of gay operatives just waiting to jump him to earn internet points. That being said, his current life of being a hermit and pretty much only talking to an echo chamber of wheelchairs not to mention all that alcohol would've definitely rotted his brain to the point of mental illness so I can believe that Phil's probably got some major paranoid delusions going on.

If DSP genuinely believes his """"family"""" is at risk (I have no clue whether or not this is something he just says or believes) as in he believes random internet people are out to get him and want to hurt his stupid fucking cat or ret'ard horse wife that's extreme paranoia at best and a genuine delusion at worst. If he had actually been swatted as in a team of ex-military dudes in kevlar with M-4's burst in and screamed at him to get on the ground I would understand but that never happened. He has zero reason to be this paranoid.

Phil is quite paranoid, but it's not over bodily harm. It's over the exposure of his lies, and being confronted with in-person reminders of how much of a fucking weirdo retarded asshole he is. Not to mention he never liked people to begin with. He hid in his room any time Leanna had guests over, and this was before his rep was anywhere near what it is now. And even in the one time a follower recognized him in public, it took absolutely nothing beyond "Hey Phil" for the Polish Potato to walk away and tell Katherine to ignore the person, as if they had said "Hey grifter", or asked him how his gout was doing. The fear of it going in a direction that led to his soulmaid learning a thing or two she didn't know before, was more then enough.

He doesn't think he's going to get his ass kicked, he knows he has pulled a lot of bullshit for years now, and is hiding from the consequences of it. You can see it when he gets pissed over certain inquiries in the chat, he's afraid of what's going to happen if he doesn't ban talk of those topics, even though it probably wouldn't have any consequences. It's why he isolates himself, it's the only way to avoid the truth being injected into his fabricated reality.

Phil got scared when a delivery was a couple of minutes later than he expected. He's scared shitless over being recognised but it won't be because he's scared of being attacked. He's scared of having his house of cards (the illusion of success at being a content creator for mature adults) exposed for what it really is, a gouty old pig scamming the mentally handicapped of their disability checks. He knows how bad he looks, he knows that he has committed what most would consider genuine scams (project 7), he knows that if anyone saw him playing dress up for his audience he won't be taken seriously. He's scared that his past embarrassments (like the incident) will continue to haunt him.

He still thinks that he was "swatted" that day. It needs to be noted that he doesn't see detractors as they are. He sees them as a singular mass of haters when in reality they are much smaller groups of people who all happen to dislike him. It's why he likes to focus on one group of detractors at a given time. He knows that most of the farms only want to laugh at the fat retard but like with the escort situation, he'll tar all of us with being involved in any plans a retard puts forward.

It's interesting the contrast between Phil the Liar and Phil the Idiot, because they seem to contradict each other, but they really don't. I used to think Phil's awareness of his own lies was an indication of him knowing more than he appeared to in moments where he wasn't spinning bullshit, but now I see that when he lies, that is the limit of his awareness. Meaning, it doesn't go any further in that direction. Him claiming that stuff is going on "behind the scenes" with MidFirst doesn't mean he's paying attention there, it just means he knows to lie and act like there are things happening that detractors don't know. Entirely out of recognition that he's being accused of being an idiot, not of out of recognition that he IS being an idiot by not being involved in the MidFirst proceedings. He really doesn't know that ignoring the situation has been a bad idea, he only knows emotional reactions to positive or negative stimuli, and his willful lies are just as knee-jerk as his rants that are filled with inaccuracies but not deliberate lies.

Phil's lies at times feel more like he's doing it to pignotize himself more than he is anyone else, like he's rationalising the information into a way that doesn't risk damaging his fragile ego. With how many times people here have asked who's he lying to, the answer being him makes more sense. After all, who's he trying to fool with his transparent lies when his wheelchairs just do not care, if not himself trying to justify how nothing in his life was ever his fault.

He's probably the target of his own pigsplaining more than we can ever know, though, because he's Phil, it's not really that he's convincing himself, so much as he just needs to hear someone say these things, and he's the only one left who actually will feed into his comforting delusions. In fact I don't think anyone has ever really done that for him, because he doesn't speak of his parents as if they constantly told him the kinds of things he clearly liked hearing as a young lad. Yes, Linda insisted on supervised play time, but Dave clearly thought that was retarded, and I doubt he went along with things much beyond that. Him getting Phil that job at the helicopter plant tells me that Dave never really accepted how dumb and stunted his only son was until after that blew up in his face, and with he and Linda being united in taking his car away after he crashed it tells me that she wasn't 100% dedicated to feeding him nothing but copium forever. Punishing him just doesn't line up with that, if his visible behavior is really from his upbringing in that way. I'll even go so far as to suggest that she was much like Dave, and had no idea what she was really dealing with until it was too late to do anything.

Basically, he was just born a certain way, or was traumatized by something, or both, and now he spends his days being his own sole source of copium because he would rather be a big baby with a blanky than grow up and stop needing such things.

 

[Mr Clark]

Ive been meaning to contribute to this thread so here goes post 1 of I dont know how many.

Phil has an addiction to copium

Yeah yeah thats obvious but let me explain. Phils life is so in the shitter, that he has set up a bubble, hell an entire alternate reality just for himself (and his mom I mean waif and son Jasper). No outside influence by DESIGN. I'll tackle the isolation in another post when i have the time.

When he streams and sees 'hurtful comments' that are poking at his reality it REALLY hurts Phil and he bans them. See: any of the countless posts showing some of the innocuous bans he dishes out.

When he strawmans his complainants and mocks them in prestream begcasts, his rants are his ego flexing after the 'beating' it took. He is reassuring himself. He is inhaling his copium. See: Elden Ring rants

I dont know what experience with (actual) drug users you guys have but when you talk about a topic they dont want to hear because it MAY impact their high or future high, they put you down, get angry and/or claim youre 'bringing down their high'. This is why Phil talks about 'chill' and shits on anyone who mildly upsets him. He doesn't want to be bothered by reality. He doesn't want to be sober. This also explains his heavy drinking off stream.

Phil is an addict. He is addicted to copium. He has no intention of detoxing/going clean/improving himself. Why? Somehow bizarrely, he hasn't hit rock bottom. But hes close, Phil can feel it. Its why he has become so wild recently.

 

[FaXmachine]

Tbh I think Phil uses "Chill" more as a buzzword along with "phasitivity", "fun" ect. I'm not sure those things themselves have meaning to him. I find it fascinating how he can say this shit and at the same time he can be calling someone a "fucking idiot", the duality within seconds sometimes.

But I agree on the copium, he bans or nay says anyone who is trying to break his reality, or go against the regime he's created.

I was wondering has there been any examples of people like Phil who've had their ego broke down as far as it can go and built back up with genuine achievements or is he to far gone? I mean that reality would never come to pass unless he was forced in the army... and they were willing to have him lol.

I don't think it's from not quite hitting rock bottom, because even though it's true that Phil has never had to worry about money the way a normal person does, he has still done so, and in fact today, he sweats it more than ever. Just not for a remotely normal reason. And he is afraid of the tiniest things, that's why any smugness you see in him is always short-lived. He SHOULD be loving life right now, but he isn't, because a gacha addiction is sucking the life out of him and his behavior over the years ensures that he's stuck in this hell forever. Every day he gets the money needs to live another day, he feels relief, and the following day, he goes through the same thing. Sweats, and then feels okay. Doesn't matter how many times this is repeated, he doesn't learn from it any more than he learns from anything else.

As for him feeling the end is near, yes and no. There's only so much he can, and is willing, to think about. Deep down, he knows the gravy train is going to end one day, and he's fucked when it does. He just doesn't want to prepare for it because he's fighting his own awareness. Out of sheer terror, which doesn't even match what it would if he were a normal person, because he doesn't fully grasp when hard times actually are. He doesn't want to, he never did. His life was supposed to be easy, absent of consequences, and in one particular respect, it has been.

And that's exactly why he won't learn anything when that changes. Nothing can humble him, because his concern in life isn't with getting along in the world, like most people. It's with living a fantasy, wherein he gets to be a turd and have nothing bad happen to him over it. His all-consuming fixation is on having the rules never apply to him. Being homeless doesn't feed into that, so it will just piss him off.

Tbh I think Phil uses "Chill" more as a buzzword along with "phasitivity", "fun" ect. I'm not sure those things themselves have meaning to him. I find it fascinating how he can say this shit and at the same time he can be calling someone a "fucking idiot", the duality within seconds sometimes.

Yes and no. He tries to draw people in with those terms, but when they tune into the actual streams, they quickly find that the "fun" is what Phil is supposed to be having. He stupidly pays no mind to how obvious it is, and just gives into his emotions. That's why he sort of means it, at times, it just happens to be self-centered. He always talks about wanting to "just have a good time" when he's upset, and when his retards are rightfully upset about something he either ignores it or rips into them to protect himself in some way.

That's why he doesn't recognize the duality you speak of, some of the moments he calls someone names are joyous for him, and his childish brain lumps them in with the other moments of him having a good time.

Phil never really thinks at all about his future, he's been content to thinking that he'll do the exact same thing he has been doing until the day the dies. He's refused to save any money, refuses to adapt (demanding that people email despite everyone else using dms) and refuses to take even the tiniest iota of responsibility. As long as he can still make hundreds a day he will continue to act like nothing will change.

If he did think about his future, he'd have made sure he had a back up plan for the many situations he stumbles into. Instead he spends ages to find the worst possible option to deal with one. That and watching his own behaviour to prevent things like the stationary incident.

 

[Keith the Horse Fucker]

Phil is a male Karen. Two of his favorite things are to bitch and moan and to talk down to anyone he thinks he's "better" than (when they can't talk back), and one of the few activities he actually enjoys is eating. Complaining about food and the service because they messed up his meal covers all three of his interests. He simply can't resist the opportunity.

Karen's are always on the look out for free meals, or at the very least, an excuse not to tip. There is no way Phil fairly tips his waiters/delivery drivers/hair stylists ever.

Considering he had to be strong-armed into simply reimbursing Rambo for the fuel when he went to record multiplayer for Phil, there's little room for doubt that his "tips" are more likely him not bothering with change. If he was that bad back when he had friends, how bad can the paranoid hermit be now for not spending money on things that don't include sweaty muscle men.

 

[Freshtodeath]

From the leaks we've seen he never pays back any debts. I highly doubt he takes care of his waitresses, hair stylists etc. When someone asked him about charities he couldn't come up with anything. He's a selfish manbaby who spends all his cash on gacha and food.

The most telling one i remember was the bmw lease. It was for like 2k or something and he still hasn't paid it off.
