Chris and Hygiene/Health -

[DevilDog]

Not A-logging, just unsure
I'm not sure why he lets himself go to shit, he can't deny physical discomfort. I'm not saying he needs to go to a gym and start working out(although that would be helpful), I'm just saying things like, not perpetually playing vidya and not eating shit. What confuses me is how there's things that he's doing that are obviously causing him pain, and he's not doing anything about them. Take for instance his hygiene, for me, after even a short run, I still have a layer of sweat that isn't pleasant to spend time covered in, I seriously can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to spend days/however long he goes between showers covered in acquired grime. Simply taking a shower isn't hard, what stops him? Obviously we can't say he doesn't take showers routinely...but given his current pictures and history, I'd say we can be reasonably certain. And his shut-in lifestyle, it's obvious he hates being as alone as he is, wouldn't he at some point go do something out of his house? Even though he has his troll paranoia, at some point his desire to do something other than vidya would overcome that. The only thing I can imagine is Barb keeping him home, but eventually, wouldn't he get desperate enough that he'd just go out and do something? I only bring this point up because I've been in a similar situation, and it can get pretty horrible sitting in your house all day with no one around. And lastly, his house, obviously he's in deep denial about that as well...but at some point, maybe when he gets bitten by a centipede while trying to sleep in a shit-infused bed...won't he say enough is enough? For Barb that probably won't happen, but wouldn't Chris see the squalor? On that last point, supposing Barb really is the thing holding him at 14 BC...will he move out of, clean, or GTFO of his house after her death?

It's safe to say he'd rather play vidya than take a shower.

That would be disobeying Barb. And he's afraid of getting kicked out of the house if he disobeyed her. So he won't do that.

He's probably too lazy to clean up the whole house, so he'd probably just clean up his room and whatever rooms he'd want to use. Maybe he'd occasionally clean up other parts, slowly, but it'd take a long time.

Chris does want to get out and does for as long as he can to socialize before barb calls him back home.

As for the shower thing, I'd just guess laziness with a mix of autism.

 

[Niachu]

You'd be surprised what kind of levels of filth people can get used to. Especially when they're as lazy as Chris. He's likely not even aware of how bad his BO is when he's out and about.

 

[Bugaboo]

Chris's shower seems to be too disgusting and full of hoard to use, I sort of think it's gone beyond "I'm too lazy to shower" to "I should shower but I can't reach the damned thing and there's a family of rats in it"

He turns on the shower and just a bunch of filth and bugs spew out.

Dude, he poops himself... You expect him to give a flying fuck about showering when he sits around in his own poop?

He poops himself without realizing sometimes. Like goes for hours with a load. Even drives around in it.

Because Chris is the ultimate embodiment of what it means to be lazy. That is why he goes to McDonalds practically everday. Its cheap, tastes good, and he can shovel a shit ton of it down his mouth with little effort on his part. Any form of labor, no matter how trivial, is repugnant in his mind. If Chris were to open a youtube account and make videos screaming at the slanderous trolls about how they have ruined his life, it might be possible for him to gain partnership and make a little bit of money on the side. But no, that would require effort, and that is too much to expect from Chris. Washing and taking care of yourself is just another impediment in Chris's desire to lay around and do nothing.

The Hoarders shows are a guilty pleasure of mine (along with Duck Dynasty) and you would not believe the fucking filth people live in and consider it normal until people enter the home and need to put on respirators just to survive. I'm talking open piss jugs, rooms full of shit-in diapers, decomposing pets, black mould, everything. It built up gradually, and these people are used to living in it. Some of it is psychological hoarding, but I think a lot of people have mental disabilities that make them believe it's easier to live in filth than to clean and that's somehow acceptable.

Chris may have hoarding tendencies himself, but I really think he knows the condition of the house is wrong and it's Barb who's the culprit. However, Chris grew up with this and just accepts it as a valid lifestyle. Even after she dies, he will almost certainly be too lazy to even clean enough to cook himself an egg. It's just cost benefit; he'd rather have the time and energy to play Little Pig Blanket than not live like a pack rat.

Clinical depression does some real snake-eating-its-tail shit by making sufferers both unhappy with and apathetic about their condition. I would bet there's a lot Chris wants to change, but that (piled on top of the obvious autism/Barb/immaturity stuff) is a serious shot to the kneecap and unfortunately isn't as easily fixed as "work out, be more active, eat your veggies."

He needs a lot of help. I would wager part of him recognizes this. But in every theatre of his life, he's blocked by some pretty big obstacles.

We don't know 100% if he is clinically depressed mostly because we aren't doctors.
But he's definitely not happy about his current situation.

Well, this is the case with most stereotypical basement dwellers, autistic or not. They're too busy (yeah right ) being glued to their computers to even think about taking a shower.

i think in one of the kacey calls he said he tried to clean the hoarded crap but barb yelled at him and said if he did that he'd get kicked out of the house

Nah, not 100%. But he was prescribed Paxil several years ago, so his GP must've thought he showed some signs.

But don't actually know why he was prescribed Paxil but it could have been to deal with anxiety, which autistic people commonly have.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Sure, we can't say he can be diagnosed with depression, but just look at his pictures. He looks freakin' miserable.

Then again, he doesn't have much to be happy about. He has no job to complain about or take pride in, no real relationships, no prospects of a relationship with a woman (and if he did, she'd be as nasty as he is), a controlling mother, threats of being homeless by being kicked out by his mother (it won't really happen, but he thinks it will), he lives in a garbage dump of a house, he's overweight, has a crappy diet, his dad's dead, etc.

The only thing he has to look forward to is going out to eat and playing vidya.

He should run, not walk, to a mental health counselor and get the help he needs to get his life back. Of course he won't, and it may be too late, which makes it all the more tragic.

There's always got to be a joy kill in a thread.

Lol just kidding , I think Chris might not be as miserable as he looks. Remember, Chris doesn't know proper facial expressions, so he's bound to mix them up or exaggerate a lot.
