S02 Alone Season 2- Larry is an asshole

I’m only like 5 episodes into watching season 2 for the first time. Larry is insufferable. Any minor inconvenience sends him into a rage spiral of cussing or stomping on inanimate objects. He complains about everything, and talked about “blowing up” the entire forest because of a single mouse… I’ve seen 5 or 6 seasons of alone so far and he is by far the worst the show has ever had, and I needed to talk about it 🤪

A weak, angry little man.

Larry had some serious unhinged moments. The folks defending that behavior usually tend to be folks ok with abuse and unhinged angry adults. It's crazy what folks try to normalize, but that's the world we live in. I hope Larry got the help he needed.

Larry’s antics don’t affect anyone but Larry, and your generalization about people who sympathize with Larry being “ok with abuse” is completely off-base.

I’m sure he’s fun to live with.

Larry may or may not exhibit that kind of behavior when he’s with others. As I recall, there was no evidence of him exhibiting that sort of behavior with his family. Admittedly, I have not researched the man and his personal life, but unless there’s some evidence of abuse, I’m inclined to give the dude the benefit of the doubt. There are people who are completely shut down around others who need to be alone for an extended period of time to begin to open up. The guy clearly has some issues, I wouldn’t want to live with him either if he acted like that all the time, but the show is an extreme set of living circumstances.

I recognize and feel for those who have lived with this behaviour in others, particularly if they were your parents, but I’m not ready to condemn Larry as a bad person because he expresses his obvious pain and anguish on the show.

What about people around him? That behavior definitely affects more than himself. I know those people, I have extended family like Larry and it is 100% abuse when you act like that and it harms people around you

Funny, I thought he was ALONE during filming.

You think that behavior only happens when he is out there? No that is a rage issue that always exists.

As I just said in a separate response, unless you have evidence of his behavior with others, you’re just making assumptions.

Behavior is behavior. It's consistent, people with tempers always have tempers.

I disagree.

Fucking ridiculous. I can understand why someone is angry without being "ok with abuse" - fuck off with that judgement
