• I think we all know at least one person who fits the 'Chris' profile. I certainly do and my experience has told me you won't change them, so the option is either to tolerate their 'odd ways' (we're all a bit odd, but never to ourselves) or no longer have them as friends.
    I've found the former is nearly always the best way forward, but I have lost touch with one guy who, despite being a good laugh, had a habit of being outwardly rude to people, not just blunt, but downright rude and I found this trait so distasteful that I frankly don't miss him. The Chris people I've known are all single guys, living alone and I've always thought that not having someone close in their lives to nudge them in the right direction allows them to get away with not showering, wearing dirty clothes, being anti-social, unsympathetic to others, etc, or perhaps it's vice-versa?

  • Yeah, Chris is single and the only female he's pretty much known in his life is his mother.

    He's actually terrible around women. He reads/watches a lot of Jordan Peterson, many of the documentaries about how Google, the 'left' are controlling us, etc. He's built a narrative that he's a good guy and that women should like him.

    I truly feel he isn't a bad person at all, he may just have anger built up and he takes to things easily that fit his narrative of how the world is.
