    This really happened to someone I know. Her child is indeed an asshole, so when she got the test results all negative and basically saying that the boy is nothing but a spoiled brat, it was a surprise for no-one but her.

      And when parents refuse to accept the truth they will find some asshole doctor to tell them whatever they want to hear. And the asshole kid loves it because now they can continue to act like an asshole without consequences. As they play the victim of having some mental disorder

    It’s true. Some people are born assholes, grow up to be assholes, and remain assholes their whole life. The nature half of “nurture, nature” can produce assholes, too.

      Yeah, one of my siblings has always been a cocky asshole his whole life for reasons unknown to me. My other two siblings and I obviously have our own issues, but I wouldn’t call any of us assholes. We all grew up in the same environment so it’s odd to me.
