	Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related. While autistic people often struggle with cognitive empathy (the ability to ''know'' what someone is feeling), they generally have lots of emotional empathy (the ability to ''feel'' what someone is feeling after finding out). Chris seems to lack both, ignoring others' feelings even after they directly state them.		Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality.

	Chris generally utilises apologies as a performative tool to placate others and to persuade them to either leave him alone or give him what he wants - on the [[Q&A NO MORE\|few]] [[11052009 Kacey, I Love You, and I Need You\|occasions]] Chris does demonstrate what appears to be genuine remorse or grief, he still tends to either ignore or only broadly address issues at the heart of the matter, or shift blame onto others, and in what ~~his~~ perhaps his [[CWC is sad\|most infamous example]] of a tearful apology, a stroke of blissful happenstance was enough to completely erase any lingering feelings of sorrow that Chris may have had - indeed, it galvanised him enough that he indirectly ''mocked'' the target of his past apologies instead.

	While Chris is not utterly incapable of feeling empathy, he has repeatedly demonstrated difficulty in constructing meaningful, sincere apologies for his misdeeds. This is, in part, due to his condition, and accordingly due to how some of his previous statements intended to redress the grievances of others have been constructed. Having been raised on a steady diet of assorted television programs ever since childhood and having experienced little in the way of meaningful social interaction ever since his days at Manchester High, Chris seemingly relies on his experience with media to assist him in many social situations, and apologies are no exception. When Chris attempts to make amends, he often hinders his own efforts with his delivery - his manner of speech is monotonous and often without any real emotion in such instances, with him appearing to do his level best to appear dejected and put-upon, an illusion that is shattered the moment he asks for a ban to be lifted because he wants to [[Apology_to_Game_%26_Hobby_Place\|buy things]], for instance. When he feels it necessary, he will also 'score' his videos with a background track, a tactic likely employed in this case to get the recipient to feel sorry for him and understand his point of view. This approach is possibly inspired by the media Chris has consumed: heartfelt moments call for fitting music, and so he sees it as the right thing to do, rather than an instance of blatant emotional manipulation.

	Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.

	The other, more noticeable aspect to this, however, is that on many occasions Chris displays an apparent inability to understand what he did wrong even after having his mistakes explained to him. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Alec Benson Leary saga, where over the course of a number of telephone conversations Chris was repeatedly urged to apologise for actions that were explicitly read out to Chris on two separate occasions. The videos that followed these calls, already hampered by his flat, detached affect, did not address several of these wrongs - in some cases, they created new ones altogether - and those that were brought up were only spoken of briefly, with an absolute minimum of any emotion. In the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 7\|seventh call]] between the two, Alec would directly accuse Chris of not understanding his faults. This eventually culminated in the highly controversial [[Sonichu 10]], in which Chris has comic representations of Alec and his friends be brutally murdered by his gaggle of OCs and Sonichu clones. While he would later revise the ending of this issue, at the time he staunchly defended himself, proving that like with most aspects of social grace Chris is perfectly willing to renege on past apologies and promises if it benefits him, or to spite others who prove themselves a nuisance to him and his work. In a [[9_February_2010\|video]] published shortly before the comic's release, he backpedalled and claimed that he was taking a stand against Alec and his associates, and that he never wanted to kill Simonla Rosechu. a controversial character cribbed from an OC made by Evan, a friend of Alec's, characterising Evan's requests for apology and to stop using his work as 'blackmail', and in the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9\|ninth and final call]] with Alec, he blatantly backtracked on several phone calls and two apology videos worth of statements, ~~claiming~~ that Simonla was always his, and when called out for his execution of the Asperpedia Four, he responded that 'requesting the death of one of [his] characters comes with a price.'

	While Chris may be fickle when it comes to apologies and their sincerity, however, he has a much, ''much'' easier time committing himself to hating people, especially if he believes they have wronged him gravely. The two most enduring examples of his unyielding scorn are perhaps Mary Lee Walsh and Michael Snyder. The former, for the 'crime' of destroying a sign in an effort to stop one of her college's pupils from loitering on school grounds in an attempt to solicit sex from students, was transformed into the first villain of the Sonichu comic series, made into a target of ridicule and mockery, and was sent intimidating drawings by Chris, the final straw in a series of missteps that saw him suspended from PVCC for a year. Although Chris would later try to change her image within the comics and even consider reconciling with her in reality, going as far as to deliver a framed version of his formal apology to her office himself, Chris still viewed the process of reconciliation through the lens of Chris forgiving Mary for ''her'' 'past misdeeds' - and when his attempt at delivering an apology was met with the dean contacting Chris's parents and asking them to ensure Chris remained away from the campus permanently under threat of legal summons, he was swift to do what he always did, labelling her as the architect of all his misery and deserving of whatever ill fortune may befall her. This bitter hatred burned for years after, surfacing most prominently in 2013, in which Chris blamed her and other parties for his life being the way it was in a series of Facebook rants. [[Mary Lee Walsh]] retired in 2019, whereupon Chris uncharacteristically wished her a peaceful life until her 'time of passing'... but not without offering 'constructive criticism' on how she could have better spoken to him.

	Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related. While autistic people often struggle with cognitive empathy (the ability to ''know'' what someone is feeling), they generally have lots of emotional empathy (the ability to ''feel'' what someone is feeling after finding out). Chris seems to lack both, ignoring others' feelings even after they directly state them.		Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality.

	The other, more noticeable aspect to this, however, is that on many occasions Chris displays an apparent inability to understand what he did wrong even after having his mistakes explained to him. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Alec Benson Leary saga, where over the course of a number of telephone conversations Chris was repeatedly urged to apologise for actions that were explicitly read out to Chris on two separate occasions. The videos that followed these calls, already hampered by his flat, detached affect, did not address several of these wrongs, and those that were brought up were only spoken of briefly, with an absolute minimum of any emotion - in the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 7\|seventh call]] between the two, Alec would directly accuse Chris of not understanding his faults. This eventually culminated in the highly controversial [[Sonichu 10]], in which Chris has comic representations of Alec and his friends be brutally murdered by his gaggle of OCs and Sonichu clones. While he would later revise the ending of this issue, at the time he staunchly defended himself, proving that like with most aspects of social grace Chris is perfectly willing to renege on past apologies and promises if it benefits him, or to spite others who prove themselves a nuisance to him and his work. In a [[9_February_2010\|video]] published shortly before the comic's release, he backpedalled and claimed that he was taking a stand against Alec and his associates, and that he never wanted to kill Simonla Rosechu. a controversial character cribbed from an OC made by a friend of Alec's, characterising Evan's requests for apology and to stop using his work as 'blackmail', and in the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9\|ninth and final call]] with Alec, he blatantly backtracked on several phone calls and two apology videos worth of statements, claiming that Simonla was always his, and when called out for his execution of the Asperpedia Four, he responded that 'requesting the death of one of [his] characters comes with a price.'

	While Chris may be fickle when it comes to apologies and their sincerity, however, he has a much, ''much'' easier time committing himself to hating people, especially if he believes they have wronged him gravely. The two most enduring examples of his unyielding scorn are perhaps Mary Lee Walsh and Michael Snyder. The former, for the 'crime' of destroying a sign in an effort to stop one of her college's pupils from loitering on school grounds in an attempt to solicit sex from students, was transformed into the first villain of the Sonichu comic series, made into a target of ridicule and mockery, and was sent intimidating drawings by Chris, the final straw in a series of missteps that saw him suspended from PVCC for a year. Although Chris would later try to change her image within the comics and even consider reconciling with her in reality, going as far as to deliver a framed version of his formal apology to her office himself, Chris still viewed the process of reconciliation through the lens of Chris forgiving Mary for ''her'' 'past misdeeds' - and when his attempt at delivering an apology was met with the dean contacting Chris' parents and asking them to ensure Chris remained away from the campus permanently under threat of legal summons, he was swift to do what he always did, labelling her as the architect of all his misery and deserving of whatever ill fortune may befall her. This bitter hatred burned for years after, surfacing most prominently in 2013, in which Chris blamed her and other parties for his life being the way it was in a series of Facebook rants. Mary Lee Walsh retired in 2019, whereupon Chris uncharacteristically wished her a peaceful life until her 'time of passing' - but not without offering 'constructive criticism' on how she could have better spoken to him.

	Michael Snyder has not been as fortunate, ~~compared - a~~ constant target of Chris' wrath and a subject of his conspiratorial ramblings, Chris has spared extremely little in the way of pity or understanding for Snyder and his actions. Chris has commonly regarded Snyder as the ''other'' architect of all his misery, going so far as to accuse him of being a grasping, conniving schemer inexplicably conspiring with the Greene County school board to ban him from the GAMe PLACe and claiming that he didn't even know why he had been barred from the store when Snyder himself, and accounts of Chris' interactions with Snyder, make it clear that Chris' own behaviour was the cause. These feelings of antipathy only intensified after [[28 October 2011]], an incident which Chris has come to believe was entirely staged and grossly exaggerated by Snyder. Despite Snyder showing remarkable leniency towards both Chris and his mother in the subsequent legal proceedings, motioning for their sentences to be reduced to misdemeanours, Chris was not at all humbled by this impossibly gracious act of mercy; he went on to blame Snyder as the root cause for the Chandlers' financial crisis, rather than spending the entirety of Bob's inheritance on an [[Rob Bell\|expensive lawyer]], and in the years since then his venom has not abated.

Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "[[darling]]" to [[TooManyGames\|kissing]] guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind, particularly in how forceful they are. To his credit though, Chris did raise funds for the childhood cancer charity [[Alex's Lemonade Stand]] in June 2012, as well as donating to the Red Cross after Hurricane Harvey in September 2017; but that's about as far as it goes for any legitimately kind deeds.
