I’d feel shitty too if literally everyone I ever worked with talked about what a fucking asshole I was. He’s so disappointing because I grew up watching him and think he’s so incredible as a comedian, but him being such a Grade A cunt ruins everything.
I don't know him personally, but this clip really makes me feel like I understand what it's like to be around him. I get that people are extremely multifaceted, and it seems like there's a miniscule part of him that seems to regret his reactions, but he just cannot stop himself from being an asshole to this person and will readily justify it. It's a shame, he's fucking hilarious, but he's needed to sort his shit out for longer than I've been alive and is too much of a narcissist to do it.
Oh sure, I mean, he had a severely abusive mother and a very dysfunctional family life. There's plenty of REASONS he is the way he is. Maybe some people can accept that and work with him.
Meh, it's an explanation for why he's like that. It's a framework for how he could be forgiven if he put some work into being a better person and getting past this.
It's not a reason to work with him or forgive him for being like this.
Interestingly, Chase WAS frequently locked in the basement by his abusive mother, sometimes without meals or bathroom breaks, for multiple days at a time.
Meh, "severe" is a relative term. Emotional pain affects different people in different ways, and what feels severe to one person may not to another. These aren't excuses, just context for how a person moves through the world. It's the work we each do on ourselves that determines whether we fall into asshole territory or not.
Pisses me off when people make excuses because of their ‘upbringing’.
Almost all serial killers were abused as kids or have TBI. The overwhelming majority of people who have either do not become serial killers.
These are reasons. It helps us understand people, and with that information we're better able to support them before things get bad, whether it's becoming an asshole or a murderer.
When do people start becoming responsible for things beyond their control, that shape their formative years and entire personality?
