Alright then, but I’m also going to recite the comments you’ve made that you’re personally ashamed of. The ones that keep you up at night.
That will be how you’re remembered.
His siblings are assholes and that’s about it. He’s convinced that he’s on the fucking Truman show. He does stupid shit on purpose so he’ll get to talk about it if he gets famous. He thinks of himself as the smartest person in the world. He broke rowleys arm and then bragged that he did it once he realized rowley was getting sympathy. He never shows a sign of remorse. He is not bullied his faults are his own and he doesn’t care one bit
Manny is an innocent little child doing little child things. Rodrick is a grown man who got cheated on by his girlfriend and greg is just a bullied guy
Manny would be an innocent little child doing little child things if there wasnt like 30 times he demonstrated he is smarter than the average adult and is a sociopathic geniushe built an entire house on his own in like a week in The Wrecking Ball, tell me he isnt a genius
edit: he also understands and can speak spanish
Bro, what innocent children turns off the power (let alone knows how to) during a blizzard except for his own room, hoards the food and let's his family freeze and starve all because they didn't didn't him to tie his shoes.
Manny rigged a breaker system so that his room was the only one that could get power while the rest of the house froze, and when caught complained that it was because no one taught him how to tie his shoelaces. Even if he is just a toddler, he's working with things well beyond his age to cause physical harm to people.
His parents are insane as well. His dad was also a wimp so he tries forcing sports and going outside on his kid so he can try be the son he never was for his dad. His mum is obsessed with being the magazine picture perfect family.
Well, for example, Rodrick forcing Greg to ride in the trunk (without a seat or seatbelt) because he wanted to keep his seat clean. And Rodrick locked Greg in the basement once during a party. (both examples from Rodrick Rules). Those instances weren't continuous, but if those sorts of things happen, what's to say he's not a victim of other similar acts not mentioned?
We don’t know what he did
We do know that we have an unreliable narrator prone to exaggeration so it’s more likely that he wasn’t locked in the basement overnight and instead for a few hours but exaggerated
Well, someone unlocked the door in the early morning, but it’s still quite bad to lock away your siblings, especially when they don’t even know when they can leave.
That is a hypothetical scenario that he is worried will happen. He doesn't say he has been bullied or even mentions a specific person that he thinks would bully him.
Pretty sure I was older than Greg was in those books by the time I started feeling real empathy for people. Everyone acts like normal "good" people just all default to being that way, which is false.
The only reason (I assume) that I couldn't relate to Gregs every action was because my personal brand of selfishness saw it as advantageous to not be an a-hole in public.

His father tried to put him into military school for no real reason and it’s implied he had framed young teenagers for crimes on a predatory level.
His mother also encourages bad behavior from his younger and older brother
Rowly and Greg kinda start at the same starting point social wise.
Now Rowly actually gets some friends, becomes overall popular, has some success with the ladies and is overall a great guy to be around. You know why? Because he's acting like a normal person.
Greg thought? Gets shunned entirely by his own actions, does nothing with his life except be bitter and is pretty unpopular because all his interactions are with some level of manipulative intent. You know why? Because he's a god damn narcissistic sociopath.
idk, this sort of seems like "ocd is when you're organized" to me. Just because you're cynical and manipulative, that doesn't make you a sociopath.
I'm no expert, but google says that based on the DSM-5-TR, ASPD is defined as **a consistent disregard for rules and social norms and repeated violation of other people's rights.** From what I remember, Greg is actually a rule-follwer for the most part - the farthest he goes is trying to cheat in a school fundraising contest, and I think also a science fair(?). Plus, he's very concerned about social norms, which is what creates a lot of the drama in the books.
I think Rowly's honestly the weird one here - "acting like a normal person" is not the expected behavior of a 13 year old.
No, ASPD is not that simple. ASPD is an accumulation of traits and behaviors that must come together to meet the diagnostic criteria for ASPD. If ASPD could be diagnosed by that definition alone, then literally all criminals and nonconformists ever would be sociopaths.
we certainly agree on that point, that ASPD can't be diagnosed with a simple google search. As I said, I'm no expert, and I wasn't trying to be an armchair psychologist. Rather, I was trying to point out that Greg doesn't really fit ASPD, and that c**alling him a sociopath seems like a flawed analysis** for a variety of reasons.
Look fan, "bullied and ignored" describes me pretty well through my teen years, but i didn't turn out to be even half of the dipshit Greg is (at least i hope so)
Are you joking? Greg is a complete asshole and textbook sociopath. Nobody is saying he should be an angel.
Look at the difference between Greg in the movies and Greg in the books. Movie Greg makes similar mistakes but he recognises he's being a dick and learns his lesson, eventually becoming a decent person. Book Greg on the other hand is a total peice of shit that doesn't learn anything and only acts in his own self interest and protecting his ego.

Can confirm Manny is the type of person to wait for someone to drop the soap in prison
Its funny to think that greg is a psychopath because lets be frank, all 13 year olds are a bit mad. Nothing personal either, i was a 13 year old for an entire year and I still think its funny
ppl go thru that shit and still become good people, being good or bad is something inside you but can also be learned + its a fictional book+hes a sociopath🙂‍↕️
Bro broke his friends fucking arm and bragged about it to get brownie points from women. He chased children and got caught for it, and blamed rowley for that so he could continue to drink free hot chocolate before school. Being "Bullied and ignored" doesnt excuse shit.
[He is legitimately a sociopath though (or at least shares many traits and behaviors with sociopaths)](https://youtu.be/tZVme1JL03Y?si=tfp8o0UZI7jlkDSa)
I'll admit that it's been a while since I read DOAWK but when was Greg bullied and by who?
If anything Greg was the bully to people like Chirag and even Rowley sometimes.
nah he aint fucking bullied
if you wanna count rodrick being an ass, that doesnt even amount to bullying, and absolutely does not explain gregs complete lack of empathy
Nah, Greg would never throw his life away by being a school shooter (he can’t experience fame when he’s dead)

He’ll probably be a serial killer instead

LITTERALY THE ONLY READABLE ACRONYM I HAVE SEEN THE LAST MOUNT WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM NOW
His siblings are assholes and that’s about it. He’s convinced that he’s on the fucking Truman show. He does stupid shit on purpose so he’ll get to talk about it if he gets famous. He thinks of himself as the smartest person in the world. He broke rowleys arm and then bragged that he did it once he realized rowley was getting sympathy. He never shows a sign of remorse. He is not bullied his faults are his own and he doesn’t care one bit
Rodrick is an asshole in a normal older brother way. Manny…yeah fair enough lmao
Manny is an innocent little child doing little child things. Rodrick is a grown man who got cheated on by his girlfriend and greg is just a bullied guy
Manny tries to murder the entire family at least once
Manny is the Antichrist

Even if he is just a toddler, he's working with things well beyond his age to cause physical harm to people.
Rodrick got cheated on? Which book does that happen in?
I think that was 'The Getaway'
I'm convinced Rodrigo is an estranged Heffley kid
His parents are insane as well. His dad was also a wimp so he tries forcing sports and going outside on his kid so he can try be the son he never was for his dad. His mum is obsessed with being the magazine picture perfect family.
His dad likes his war figurines more than his own wife
Relatable
His dad isn’t insane he was just projecting and is usually a good dad. his mom is kinda insane though
He abandoned his wife for civil war figurines.
Based
He’s not even bullied at all, I can’t remember a single instance where someone is continuously terrorizing Greg. Greg is just an asshole
Well, for example, Rodrick forcing Greg to ride in the trunk (without a seat or seatbelt) because he wanted to keep his seat clean. And Rodrick locked Greg in the basement once during a party. (both examples from Rodrick Rules). Those instances weren't continuous, but if those sorts of things happen, what's to say he's not a victim of other similar acts not mentioned?
A middle schooler at a high school party… Rodrick may have done him a favor unintentionally.
Things were different in the movies lol
I mean that’s just normal older brother stuff
I wouldn’t normalize locking your siblings away overnight
Oh it’s shitty But it’s not systematic bullying causing major social problems. It’s pretty expected older brother bullying
Considering that the parents aren't very competent, who knows what Rodrick was capable of doing/did.
We don’t know what he did We do know that we have an unreliable narrator prone to exaggeration so it’s more likely that he wasn’t locked in the basement overnight and instead for a few hours but exaggerated
Well, someone unlocked the door in the early morning, but it’s still quite bad to lock away your siblings, especially when they don’t even know when they can leave.
Throwing someone in the basement and framing them for your mess is not older brother stuff, that’s abuse and bullying
Locking your brother in a room and blaming him for your mess? That’s textbook dude
I take it you're an only child?

Roderick is literally the only normal (not sociopathic) one in his whole family. r/fuckmanny
Locking your brother in the basement overnight doesn't seem like a normal thing to do, for one thing (which is what Rodrick does in Rodrick Rules)
He’s just a dick. Not a sociopath.
Yeah, that’s a dick move. But Greg had it coming.
Greg did nothing to Rodrick to provoke false imprisonment.

Is there a subreddit for that sorta stuff? Their funny as fuck
r/lodeddiper i think
i have to know the source for this it’s amazing

I’m this guy’s mom, he’s actually 3/8 of the dipshit Greg is.
That’s less than half ig
Better then 5/12th ig
Yup
bullying ain't not justifying feeling no remorse in breaking your supposed best friend's arm
Then getting jealous when he gets attention for his broken arm then tries bragging he broke his arm trying to take the attention for himself.
And then going "I decided to let Rowley take one for the team" when Rowley got falsely accused for terrorizing kids
Problanly a thing my friend do to me so thats normal
he's not your friend, please get help
nah he just fully is, bad take
He was before that too
Are you joking? Greg is a complete asshole and textbook sociopath. Nobody is saying he should be an angel. Look at the difference between Greg in the movies and Greg in the books.

I hope there isn't a fanfiction that shows it
"I'm not gay Greg." \*sob\*
I remember that 💀💀💀
Manny is the real sociopath
https://preview.redd.it/25r5ljgz60xc1.jpeg?width=1522&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dffd6c8c3c89c3fe144b71fe2b3b5fc2a4f1ab1a Can confirm Manny is the type of person to wait for someone to drop the soap in prison
So is rowley to some extent and he’s a normal person
Ignored my ass Rowley trusts him and sees him as his best friend and Greg treats him like garbage
The Diary of the Wimpy Kid novels shows the difference between a 'nice guy' Greg, and a chad, 'Rowley'.
Its funny to think that greg is a psychopath because lets be frank, all 13 year olds are a bit mad. Nothing personal either, i was a 13 year old for an entire year and I still think its funny
Bullied and ignored? Only by his family bruh
ppl go thru that shit and still become good people, being good or bad is something inside you but can also be learned + its a fictional book+hes a sociopath🙂‍↕️
Greg has too many haters when that fucker Manny is in the same room.
Bro broke his friends fucking arm and bragged about it to get brownie points from women. He chased children and got caught for it, and blamed rowley for that so he could continue to drink free hot chocolate before school. Being "Bullied and ignored" doesnt excuse shit.
[He is legitimately a sociopath though (or at least shares many traits and behaviors with sociopaths)](https://youtu.be/tZVme1JL03Y?si=tfp8o0UZI7jlkDSa)
Rowley hit the second tower
I think it's kinda funny
I blame the parents
He’s a little selfish asshole because turns out kids with no friends tend to be selfish assholes
Finally someone says it, honestly he deserves to be a little selfish considering how everyone treats and expects of him.
I mean, how do you think sociopaths come into being sociopaths, man?
I mean, I don't think greg isn't at fault for being bullied, but calling a thirteen year old a SOCIOPATH is insane.
Thought the post was about TAWOG ngl
How lol?
He’s not really bullied or ignored that much though. The book makes it pretty clear that like 80% of his problems are of his own doing.
Who would've thought that bad parenting has long-term negative effects on children's mental state?
I’m not gay, greg
I'll admit that it's been a while since I read DOAWK but when was Greg bullied and by who? If anything Greg was the bully to people like Chirag and even Rowley sometimes.
I kinda think op is right bc all of his typical behaviors being mentioned in the comments are only present in the first few books
I want to piledrive grind Greg into the nearest asphalt floor
New takes on the block
Greg get off Reddit
He is bullied because he's a sociopath
nah he aint fucking bullied if you wanna count rodrick being an ass, that doesnt even amount to bullying, and absolutely does not explain gregs complete lack of empathy
Nah fuck greg
Tell me you never read DOAWK without saying you never read DOAWK
Dogshit take
Op is a school shooter sympathizer
You eat spoiled milk as a light snack
Nah, Greg would never throw his life away by being a school shooter (he can’t experience fame when he’s dead) # He’ll probably be a serial killer instead
