Chris and nostalgia
“ | I REALLY Miss the good times of those days. | ” |
Chris reminiscing on his High School days[1] |
Nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past, generally characterized by the wistful yearning for personalities and events, especially for the “good old days” or a “warm childhood”. [2]
The foundation of most of Chris’ adult life has been his fixation on the past, especially for the things that had deep significance to his life in order to escape from the current moment, whether it be through cartoons, past gal pals or sweethearts, past experiences with trolls, and the list goes on.
Sources of Nostalgia
Chris' nostalgia comes from a wide variety of sources.
Stress
Typically, nostalgia is the result of negative feelings and results in the increase in of one's positive emotions. [3] It can also be used as a coping mechanism for dealing with whatever stressful situation one may be in. Given how Chris currently lives his life, constantly dealing with weens, and being denied China by every girl she meets, Chris will almost use his past experiences as a means of relieving his stress. For example, at the end of the Jessica Saga, after his permanent break up with her, Chris decided to contact Megan on her Facebook.
