Sometimes a catchy quote catches my eye, and this is one that sums up why Kent won't change.
"Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor." - Alexis Carre
Kent's listed even his friendly social teasing in grade school as traumatic as victims of sexual abuse. He's still living at home with tons of toys to play with a free car can go on trips etc.
Kent's got no idea what hardship is. Men his age 100 years ago were being stuffed in dark damp trenches and shelled 24/7 for months at a time. Kent's suffering? He's single. For those of us a touch older, we look back at how we were at Kent's age and laugh how immature we seem to our current selves, unless something kick starts Kent he'll never do that because he's not grown since puberty.
People his age are often struggling to pay rent, dealing with work/school/drinking balance etc. Kent's next big choice isn't about grad school it's about what team hat to pick.
Because he doesn't know hardship he's got no clue how lucky he is. I don't at all mean to rip on his family for supporting and helping him, if anything they are great helping him get a leg up. He's got some issues so maybe college isn't a good next step and we all pretty much guess he dropped out, but he's so focused on love quest and his comfy life he's not yet matured to the point he wants to be his own person.
If he was so serious about moving and living on his own, he'd have picked up a trade or be doing even a dead end job just to get his feet in the door, but instead we get videos explaining why he can and should dress how he wants. In his future he'll either deal with Momma Kent giving him the boot, or it'll turn into an unhealthy coddling like chris and barb.
Kent needs some emotional maturity more than anything to get himself wanting to be more and independent, and he's doing all he can to avoid growing in that way. He's right time flies and it'll only get worse, right now Kent's got nothing to offer an S/O but think at 27 what will his excuse being unemployed uneducated with a decade plus of youtube sperging of why no gf?
