My brother had a serious personality disorder and Dennis is the best portrayal of such a disorder I have ever seen on TV.
Oh wow. Did he ever get professional help?
Absolutely not. Everyone else was the problem, not him!
Fuck man. I'm sorry. :(
Nah it's fine. As his little brother, I didn't capture very much of his attention. These days I don't have to deal with him at all, so it's all good 😊 👍
Because of the implication?
That and the being a serial killer
Yeah, that'll sour you on a person real good!
Because he's a psychopath who will keep trying to have control over you and will emotionally manipulate you and do whatever it takes to keep that control. And if he can't have it, he will become violent.
And honestly, being someone who hates conflict and generally tries to be nice to everyone and who tries to be liked by everyone, someone like Dennis is a total threat to someone with a personality like mine. I don't know how I would deal with someone like this.
Having dealt with a few people like him before, I have found that you really have to know your boundaries and never let people cross them. And also never let them talk down to you and insult or humiliate you. And if they turn violent, your have to walk away and ignore them.

I'm sorry you went through that! But you're 100% right and how I have managed to protect myself and surround myself only with good people after trauma. I think disrespecting boundaries is the first red flag for most abuse. Pleading, guiltily, bargaining etc to get you to relent on your original boundary, no matter how small. I so wish more people were aware of this. And to be clear it's not every time a person does that but I am definitely taking it into consideration with a critical eye especially if it becomes a common occurrence.
Another thing is be very aware of how they treat or talk about others, or what other people say about them. I can't tell you how many times someone in my life would reply "well they are always nice to me" about a jerk that they would eventually also be burned by that jerk. How they treat others you WILL eventually be the recipient of.
Except when it's black.
"You look like Superman!"
"Oh, cool, well, right on...he was the original, right? So..."
Mugshot training.
Serious question? Is Dennis’s hair blonde. It looks way darker to me.
No its brown
No, it's Golden.
As in Golden God 😆
