That's nothing, earlier this week (and it happened before), he was upset at having to contact someone by phone, but could only do so during business hours. This greatly inconvenienced Phil, because it clashed with his streaming schedule.
This motherfucker truly believes the entire world should revolve around him and his fucking stupid streaming schedule. He is unable to either make a fucking call during his "downtime" (the 5,5 hour "break" in between streams) or adjust his streaming schedule accordingly.
He really seems convinced that this happens to be of nuisance to him. Like the rest of the world is out to get him. He always makes it sound like it's a huge fucking obstacle he has to overcome, while EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD just moves on with their lives and know how to plan ahead and make arrangements if something important comes up.
Again, I honestly don't see this happening. I was joking about being an asshole, but narcissism is actually in the DSM-V. But it is not considered an impairing mental illness in comparison to let's say autism, and not even all forms of autism make a person unable to lead fulfilling meaningful lives, it's a spectrum, and so is narcissism really. Some people might experience problems with sympathy, empathy, introspection etc and it all happens in varying degrees. But at no time has Phil made (nor will he make) an impression that would render him incapable of making "adult" (to use Phil's own words for once) decisions.
Yes, it's going to be harder for some people dealing with "normal" situations that others might not (for example, I have Asperger's I have the hardest fucking time for example making eye contact, so if I fail to do so at let's say a job interview, I can make a really poor impression. Is it unfair that I get treated like I fucked up? Maybe, but it's not fair for me to expect everyone in the entire world to accommodate me, so I do have to "work harder", but I am sure as fuck not exempt from my actions). So yes, Phil might have a harder time trying to be introspective, or showing empathy, but he is not exempt from the consequences of his actions.
Were his actions ill advised? Oh fuck yes, he believed that he could ride the Youtube gravy train for years to come. So while that DOES show he lacks foresight, what's more damning is the fact that when the money was drying up (not that he is making peanuts now, fuck that), he refused to adjust and kept spending more money than he was actually making is something that is going to be held against him.
Phil has been able to weasel his way out of lot's of situations and his luck has gotten him pretty fucking far. But this time, there are actual consequences to what Phil has done, the hens have finally come home to roost and he will have to explain why he has spend money the way he did. And lack of foresight, narcissism or not, is not going to be a valid excuse. That he doesn't feel bad for what he has done (lack of guilt) isn't going to work either, because in the end it's about the math. You cannot spend 150 dollars if you only have 100 dollars. Just because he doesn't feel guilty about doing it, rationally speaking, you know that the number just don't add up.
So no, I am convinced Phil isn't going to weasel his way out of this one, because the creditors aren't going to take any bullshit, and his lawyer should have otherwise made a case that Phil would have been unfit to handle finances.
One thing that also caught my attention, Phil once again shifted the narrative. For the last 2-3 weeks he kept saying that he wasn't going to lose the house. Now for the last week he has been saying he isn't going to jail. My guess is that was saying that to reassure himself. But he may have come to realize that losing the house might now be a real possibility, so he can't reassure himself with that anymore. However, it is indeed very VERY unlikely he will end up in jail, so he is now saying that to reassure himself.
Might be my crim justice degree talking, but i'm applying actus reus and mens rea to him bullshitting the documents. He had a good enough lawyer with proactive planning I would pull his "10 year legacy" to the court, and play the odds.
I have my own issues, bro and I get the sentiment. The struggle is real, but that shit didn't stop me from getting degrees, and during job interviews I say bring up your issues up front, and don't play dumb to them as you can't hide yourself while expecting them to accept you.
