	Even by the time he was discovered by SomethingAwful and [[4chan]] in October 2007, his grip on reality was already weak, such as his belief he can [[Curse-Ye-Ha-Me-Ha\|curse]] people who have inconvenienced him.

By that point, the damage had been done as what they ~~have done~~ left ~~Chris~~ with lingering suspicion and paranoia as to the motives of others, and he has occasionally posted on social media channels about how he suspects people offline of being trolls, albeit without any real evidence.

His increasingly deteriorating mental state has resulted in numerous [[Chris and coping\|maladaptive coping mechanisms]] such as {{w\|escapism}} ([[Astral projection]], the [[Dimensional Merge]]), {{w\|Rationalization (psychology)\|rationalization}} ("I can't go to BABScon because of [[COVID-19]], so it must be a part of the merge!"), [[Nostalgia]] (trying to relive his [[Manchester High School\|high school days]]), {{w\|dissociation}} and {{w\|Safety behaviors (anxiety)\|safety behaviors}} ([[Spirit possession]]), and {{w\|sensitization}} (i.e. flipping out over blocks on [[Twitter]], resulting in the [[Soft Exile]]). By the time of the [[Idea Guys]] in 2017, Chris's mental state has deteriorated so badly that he was dancing with [[Dancing with Magi-Chan\|dancing with Magi-Chan]] at [[BronyCon]] 2017, just a month prior to his interaction with them. After the Idea Guys were ousted by the [[Guard Dogs]], the damage had been done, as they have devolved Chris's mental state into a too far gone state that he has chose to completely alienate himself from his [[Pokémon League friends\|remaining real-life friends]] in in favor of his [[imaginary friends]] and internet [[enablers]]. With Chris being blacklisted by virtually every convention (one of the last vestiges of real-life socialization for him) due to his [[Affair with Mother\|incest]] in July-August 2021, Chris has made himself into a pariah. Trying to further degrade his already horrid mental state is the equivalent of kicking down a weak guy who cannot defend himself at all. It's borderline [[A-logging]] at this point.
