It all flows downstream. Rodrick bullied Greg and now Greg subconsciously bullied Rowly because it’s someone who is weak or oblivious enough to take it in order to cope with his own abuse. Just a thought.

As somebody who was extremely naive as a child and basically survived off of trying to please everyone, this hits so close to home, especially when Rowley tried to show Greg his superhero and laughed and said it needed to be "edgier."

Yeah, Greg has done some majorly questionable stuff. But honestly, it's hard to be all that mad at him since most of the people around him are even worse. Take, for example, the part of the first book when Greg was the cartoonist for the school paper. Mr. Ira changed all the dialogue to a mockery of everything Creighton the Cretin stood for. But when Greg refused to let himself be used like that, Mr. Ira switched to running Zoo Wee Mama, completely unaltered. And there was no explanation given for why Rowley's comic was unscathed. It may have been that Greg was just "conveniently" leaving the reason out, but I'm pretty sure that if was that Mr. Ira had learned his lesson, Greg would have at least mentioned an attempt to make amends (possibly interpreting it as insincere and declining). But no, it seems this teacher was just being selective of whose art he disrespects.

Y'all, you can't be forgetting about how Greg's family isn't so great either. His older brother tortures him while his younger brother bosses him around. His dad constantly feels embarrassed of Greg. Even the PIG pushes Greg around. The only one who actually really cares about Greg is Helen, but she's usually busy dealing with everyone else's shenanigans. Sure, dude's seriously got some work to do, but he has a heart. Maybe if his family was more supportive of him, he'd have learned how to really treat his friends. In the end, Rowley is Greg's only friend. Dude is probably such a narcissistic jerk because no one had really ever shown him true affection except for Rowley. In conclusion, I have hope for Greg. Who knows? He could really change, and it'd be great to see him turn over a new leaf. I believe in second chances, don't you?

I don’t think Greg is a sociopath. He feels empathy for others and he has done some good things. We gotta remember he’s in middle school.

Greg’s parents let Rodrick bully Greg and when he is punished it’s usually a slap on the wrist while Manny gets all the praise and attention. Greg acts this way because he’s bullied by someone he looks up to and he knows Rowley looks up to him in a way so he does the same.

Not sure if he’s a sociopath but I think you’ve got a point. Maybe the author is talking about what it’s like to have a toxic friend and how someone could be so blind to it especially in middle school where everyone wants to be accepted (it literally happened to me in 7th and 8th grade)

Jeff Kinney is an amazing author. It’s like he’s secretly preparing kids for the real world, so they can just connect. It’s a deep series and the disguise of a kid’s book is absolutely amazing.

[@JohnV33]

Reminds me of the times i got manipulated by "friends" as a kid or I manipulated others. It makes you realize how we all have a little greg inside us and need to work to push it out. I haven't read diary of a wimpy kid since middle school but I hope the series has tried to teach more life lessons

[@MushBunny]

The difference between the books and (animated) movies is Greg and Rowley’s friendship. In the first book Greg said he doesn’t want to be friends with Rowley quoting “Rowley is my best friend, but that’s a subject to change”, but in the (animated) movies, Greg is happy that Rowley is his friend and even saids “I’m glad I’m not alone in this thing”

What would make for a GREAT series is if Greg is the villain of his own story (in the words of another commenter "Elongated man Forever). But it would be even better if he becomes less of a sociopath throughout the series, instead of the entire series being about a flat arced mindless book about a middle school sociopath. (edit below). Edit: If Kinney followed Rowley's POV series, he should make his arc be about either claiming "independence" from Greg or finally having Greg accept him for who he is. If done right, that would be a happy-cry resolution to the dark undertone of this book series. Kinney not only developed this book for 12 year olds like me, but also deep messages for adults. Amazing series!

It’s incredibly telling to see how Greg visually portrays Rowley vs how Rowley portrays himself and Greg and the world around him.
