Psychological Profile of Elliot Rodger

[GRiZ]

Summary: He was a douche.

[JadedVetProudServ]

Not relevant. Please refrain from childish statements. His actions speak much louder than the insults we can throw at him.

This is for those who actually want answers.

[Rfneimad]

He was mentally defective, unable to successfully reproduce, unable to recognize that as something he was failing to accomplish. Went crazy. Even if he got some pussy, well, most killers actually have sex, he was an exception.

He caused some damage because it's easy to obtain weapons. Even if he couldn't get guns he could have run people over or something.

There are no answers, people are crazy. At least he didn't kill people and get away with it.

I don't know why he didn't try internet dating. It seems like an excellent way for a shy person to get dates.

It wasn't about sex. It was his severe self hate and fear of rejection that prevented him from approaching women(then blaming them for ignoring him)
He would never go to a prostitute or have a one night stand. He had severe narcissism and a god complex.

Read his manifesto. It's in the documents area.

Funny thing, he never mentions the mental help he got, until the end, where he just says he has some pills that he will be using. Probably all part of the "blame others, not thy self" mental state.

This particular YT personality, Stefan, believes many of his issues with women were due to his childhood and being dictated by them.

He was ultimately insecure and only wanted a 10. If he would have lowered his standards and talked to the chubby shy girl, he would have gotten some.

But it wasn't about sex for him, it was about humiliation. I like how everyone in the media hops on the hype train, willing to trash the millions of peaceful autistic/aspergers people in our society to "justify" why he did what he did.

If he was emotionally immature or desensitized, it was his upbringing that made him that way. I really like the insight this video provided into his father and step-mother.

Wow, I've been looking for things this in depth, thanks. I have aspergers and although it is mild, I guess there were very dark niave times in my life, that I could relate to his ways before all the mass murder. But the good in me overcame.

I'm always looking for stuff willing to peel away the surface and analyze what doesn't make headlines.

Glad the good overcame.

Under most circumstances, I tend to ignore headlines referencing mass shootings. This is not to minimize the tragic effects such incidents have to the people directly affected by them, but because I became desensitized to the media's overhyping, exaggerated, subjective, and misinformative reporting of mass shootings.

This case was different.

I used to be like this guy in high school except for the narcissistic mentality he overtly displayed. Reading the first half of his manifesto made me briefly relive those horrible years in my life. I will end it here and watch this doc before making more comments except for one thing. I never got the impression after reading his manifesto, that he ever at any moment in his life, ever took responsibility for anything he did and never once apologized to anyone for mistakes he made. I speculate that his parents, except for his stepmother, ever bothered at any point in his upbringing, to teach him accountability. Anyway, I have invested quite a bit of time already researching this case so let me see what this doc has to say about it. Thanx for posting.

There was a segment in his manifesto where he was receiving peer counseling from a girl about a year or two older than him. His attitude about their relationship was that it was fake and insincere, although by then he was no longer capable of distinguishing what the intent of that relationship was supposed to be for. In the end, I think it wound up being more counterproductive towards building his self-confidence even though it was supposed to help him. I think he would have had the same attitude with respect to online dating, perhaps coupled with a self-defeating mentality that resorting to online dating would have been an overt confirmation of his self-percieved inferiority, which he tried so hard to hide from women in the latter part of his life. From his perception, it would have signified weakness, defeat, and an abdication to other men that he felt inferior to. He wanted to prove he could get a date on his own like his peers (or so he thought anyway), and I believe he would have been irrationally concerned with being chastised for having to resort to online dating as if it was proof that he was too unattractive to get a date the way he thought it was supposed to be done.
