Without relationship experience and feeling left out, what would you expect? In a way I really do feel bad for the guy, but he didn't have to do what he did. I've had friends who struggled to get a girlfriend and it really made them resentful and/or weird.
I don’t pity him, but I don’t think he turned out the way he did intentionally. It’s just a case of nature producing something “off,” and it failing to reproduce.
His Hollywood dad wasn't that rich. He went broke from that God movie. Yes Elliot was privileged, but not as much as most people think he was. His BMW was a base model 3series that his mom gave him and he couldn't hold a job.
A base model 3 series is just more tasteful than a 7. I like 5s, but I’ve only ever seen weird older people with 7s.
Anyways, that’s abnormally privileged. I don’t know anyone who was given a car from there parents that wasn’t just a beater, like a ten-years+ old Camry, even though they could afford to. First, your kid is likely to crash their first car anyways, and second, it’s the biggest thing a teenager wants and therefore the best thing to teach them a lesson about working for shit and the value of money.
I think that’s where his parents fucked up. They let him play WoW instead of working and being forced to learn minimum basic social skills.
It was all “here’s a special school, here’s a life coach, here’s a therapist.” I’m not against therapy, but the rest of the shit just validated his belief that he had excuses.
In his case, getting a social job such as waiter or bartender would have possibly helped him, along with lifting weights and having hobbies.
I think jobs are the best because you’re distracted from over-focusing on the social shit. Social skill development ends up being tertiary, and the mind is drained of resources to obstruct and self defeat.
