He’s disgusting on every level. Pure unadulterated narcissism. He doesn’t have a grasp of any social norms and sees everything as a celebration of himself. He probably thinks this makes up for the loss of a child.

Now we see Lakan's past. He suffers from Prosopagnosia, a cognitive disorder that does not allow him to distinguish faces. Since he was the eldest son, he was the heir of the family; however, his father thought he would be useless
Just had my first session for OCD. Well, it wasn't a session more of an introduction to what therapy is like and assessment. I feel like I can finally breathe now, and it almost feels like I'm starting to see it a bit more like a condition I have than everything being my fault.

Maybe I'll write a diary about my progress and therapy sessions.
