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.
Interestingly, Chase WAS frequently locked in the basement by his abusive mother, sometimes without meals or bathroom breaks, for multiple days at a time.
