I love the way Frank talks it’s so elegant ironically

[@scoodaninee_9925]

Frank is definitely the most entertaining character out of all of them 😭

[@flashy8191]

Frank is my favorite character on the show

[@fastcombo33]

While Frank drew the line with incest, this wasn’t the reason he gave himself up. He admitted to Sammi by accident she was his daughter. It just slipped out once Sammi said she wasn’t a match.

Fair point

Please do Monica!! I’m really trying hard to understand them both

[@chicanova1359]

I don't really think that he is a narcissist. I actually do more think that he's a hurt borderline who is traumatised and has learned that manipulating people is a easier way to get what he needed/wanted. Sadly, men who are borderline often are misunderstood by society. He surely hadn't the purest heart..but he absolutely wasn't a sociopath. Have you ever searched up the criteria for such a diagnosis? But in general there is just so much more about his personality and intellect, addiction and trauma you could have analysed but you mostly just talked about him being a narcisstic dude

[@charactersinmedia7979]

I will say he definitely has borderline traits but his narcissism seems to be the prevailing comorbidity. I will go deeper next time in the future for sure!

[@saltandpepperandmint]

He seems like a covert narcissist

[@Jmay411]

You are correct he is not controlling enough, constantly wanting to be parented & manipulating everyone to make sure that someone else is always taking care of him, the lies, the delusional narratives, the lack of empathy for others. It’s very similar to narcissism but a little more infantile. I always thought my mom was a narcissist until I did research on Franks disorder and now it all makes sense. The only symptom lacking between Frank and my mom is an obvious fear of abandonment, however they do push people away with their false accusations.

Why not antisocial personality disorder?

I’d love if you did a video on Karen and Debbie! Awesome video 😊

[@charactersinmedia7979]

Personally I think Debbie is the best written character in the show

I like your videos man

[@charactersinmedia7979]

I appreciate that! I am coming out with a new one soon!

[@grimkitten8254]

i feel like Frank's selfish actions were more of addict behavior even just cigs can make you super selfish and focused on just getting a cig if in withdrawals aka dopesick they also made a series of that as the oxy epidemic, but yeah theres soo much caring and empathy in frank here and there but alot of times he tends to get dismissed or ignored by his kids for what he had done in the past and expected to continue and not have capability to change if everyone treats you like a homeless alcoholic who just thinks of themselfs who wouldnt start or keep behaving like one not seeing any other way they could ever be seen by anyone they know?
