@freesuckerMCR4 жыл бұрын
Michael hated Toby cause he worked directly for corporate and not for him, so he didn't considered him part of his "family". He was essentially a corporate employee who was stuck at Scranton with the rest of them so he kind of "ruined their vibe". Also, Toby being from HR meant he was there to report any inappropriate behavior or misconduct and could pretty much shut down any weird thing Michael wanted to do (he almost never did, but still he could have lol).

@78breeze4 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting assessment. I had thought that possibly his lack of friends during his childhood and lack of a supportive family system as a child also played a part (dismissive mother, no identified father figure or siblings). When you look to the episode "Take you Daughter to Work Day", the clip of young Micheal is so heartbreaking. He says he wants to grow up to have a wife and lots of kids so he can have friends and no one can refuse to be his friend. I think this moment says a lot about how badly Michael wants to be liked and accepted. Also, he wants to identify with Ryan, the cool and attractive guy in the office, because that was never Michael. He was never the popular kid in school. He acts like a child because he is stuck in this stage in life. Anyways, just another MFT's perspective. Very cool analysis, though! Got me thinking deeper about my favorite TV show. Thanks :)

People misunderstand narcissism as a personality disorder all too often. Michael is self-centered often, which is a bit narcissistic.. we all have narcissistic tendencies to us. It's not to be confused with Narcissistic personality disorder, which Michael Scott definitely does not have. He has a big heart, he's compassionate and able to empathize for others. He's got a lot of love to give, and genuinely wants people to be happy. Spend intimate time with a true narcissist and you will see the stark difference.
