I was just thinking about it and it seems weird to say but, I don't honestly think he is. Every interaction he has seems to be self fulfilling rather than motivated by any true emotions. To bring up a few relationships in his life;
He didn't seem to actually care at all when his father was ill and dying. The information had to he pried out of him, and when Bob died, it didn't really seem to take any sort of toll on him. It was back to vidya, raging at McDonald's employees, and ranting about MLP. He was even more upset when his Aunt Corina died....
Only because it meant that he had to go to a funeral instead of stuffing his face with pancakes.
What about Patti? Yes he seemed upset that she had died and even brought her back as a character in his comic, only to later try to get back at the trolls by making a video where he dug Patti up and wore her as a coat. I know it was just Chris referencing a popular fake trolling plan to dig Patti up, but Damn...
His sweethearts? At least three 'died' due to tragic circumstances and he seemed to barely notice or care. He'd get right back on the horse again and quickly find some new china, and this is telling because in his mind these women actually existed
Megan, who he claimed to love, was nothing but a sexual experience he fully expected to get. He spent time and money in an investment to claim her. There was no love in his interactions, she couldn't even be considered his friend because he was only trying to use her.
Speaking of, the same thing happened with the Wallflower. He melded in with her interests much like he did with Megan only as a ploy to establish himself and try to get an ounce of China. He openly admitted that he was planning to use her for sex because he didn't want to have to blow a hundred bucks on a hooker and didn't have much to say beyond that.
So can Chris truly feel love? Every attempt just seems as if he's putting on a half-assed play, trying to assimilate himself into a situation to wholly serve his own needs. Nothing he does speaks of a true unconditional yearning to accept and be accepted. Instead it's reward VS consequence, a constant cycle of make believe in order to fool others (and himself) except he's not very good at it. Thoughts?
