He didn't go insane.
Come back when you have asked wikipedia what insanity means.

He was having 2 way conversations with a volleyball dude - what a fucking LOSER!

Still nothing to do with insanity.

His behavior was perfectly in line with people forced into a solitary state.

reply

Lol defenders 🤦🏿‍♂️

Weak people perhaps. I've been isolated for much longer and I never needed imaginary friends.

Doubt you've been in such a position.

reply

OK Dbag

reply

You’ve been isolated by yourself for four years? Please tell us all about it.

reply

It did not take him 4 years to invent Wilson as a coping mechanism ... I knew someone would try and claim this.

reply

Again, have you ever been in solitary confinement?

reply

Yes for 20 months.

reply

Without seeing another human nor mammal for those 20 months? No radio? No TV? No music? Finding and killing your own food? Wiping your ass with leaves? No roof over your head? Protected from weather? TOTALLY isolated in nature?

reply

No one believes you

reply

correct

reply

Tells us your story, triplea.

Did you you get shipwrecked? plane go down? Car ran out of gas?

reply

Parents nailed the basement door shut from the first floor?

Sidebar...in the 1971 movie The Omega Man , Charlton Heston is the last man on earth. Hunted by nocturnal zombie-like people. His only "friend" is a bust of Caesar upon which he has placed a hat. He talks to the bust like Hanks talks to the volleyball. Maybe this is documented behavior in real life.

reply

Have you ever been in solitary confinement?

reply

I talk to inanimate objects all the time. The trees assure me that I'm not insane.

reply

you shouldnt anthropomorphise non human objects ..

... They hate it when you do that 🤣

reply

This style of writing and personal bearing has always struck me as an odd way of demanding acknowledgement.
Why risk being overlooked in the comment section by making polite and thoughtful observations when you can crank the hostility up to 11, aggressively hurl reductionistic insults that are incongruent with the tone of any sane person’s idea of casual movie conversation, and increase the likelihood that someone might notice you?

reply

It seemed realistic timing. The meaninglessness is unbearable for a person like Chuck.
