Sorry for asking, but does anybody actually know Connor's most recent activity on WP? His current profile (The Gift) provides an error when you try to view it.
Also
Expectations.
In every single one of these posts, Connor spergs out about expectations [of others]. He never looks at doing things for his own sake, rather he thinks that he has to 'try' for the sake of people around him, or rather operate under their expectations.
I think he does this because it's so engrained in him at this point by his family. He does whatever he's told because he doesn't view himself as having any other choice. He views it this way because he's so frightened of the consequences of rebelling, and of course because displacing responsibility of his actions to others is the easy way out, and he's lazy.
But his family makes him do mundane, simple things. Go to Grannies, do one fucking course at College... That's all I can think of.
In the past, there might have been more. I think what ultimately started this was Connor's ego and autism and how his family incorrectly handled his autism. He's been spoonfed his entire life, and although he tries so hard to be more than that and to have some semblance of self-reliance, he will fail because of his lack of conviction and because of his environment. So he instead survives on the expectations of his family.
But then he comes here, to these forums, acting under the same mindset. He wants to operate under the same circumstances and meet the expectations of the people here. The thing is though, we hold him to much higher standards, we want him to break free of his parent's Power of Attorney and live life for himself. He subsequently shuts down because of this. He doesn't recognize his ability to do this, let alone putting the effort into actually executing it.
Connor avoids living for himself, and what he truly wants. Because he fears that. He knows what he wants is to just be lazy, not to try and have fame regardless of that, as
@BriarHeart stated. Paradoxically though, at the same time he's narcissist, he also lacks any self-worth. I think Connor believes on some level he doesn't deserve to be happy because of how awful he's lived his life so far.
In theory, it'd be relatively easy for Connor to break out of this and live a life for himself. But the reality is that nobody in his life outside of the internet believes he can, so he doesn't either. He's taken the path of least resistance for so long he has virtually zero willpower.
What Connor needs is for someone to contact his parents. They need to told that he isn't jacking off
all the time, but rather actually posting on these forums, trying to better himself but ultimately failing because of his surroundings and himself. They need to be told that there's better alternatives out there for him. He probably needs to go to some sort of rehabilitation centre for a few months with extensive therapy and proper medication, and maybe after diagnosis he'll be placed to live in a group home and won't be fit for society ever. But at least he'd be happier there.
And that actually isn't impossible, given how easy Connor made to dox him, but it'd probably be considered weening, and maybe his parents are actually insane and would rather keep him as a caged pet. He'd also no longer be a lolcow, and nobody wants to lose another one of those.
