I don't understand all the misunderstanding with Hal. Actually I do. It's ignorance. If you were socially awkward, have difficulty adjusting, anxiety, and stressing out doing so, and disliked by people, and lonely, you'd go nuts and obsessed over a women because you can't get any. I am pretty sure if Hal was actually good looking and socially intelligent and successful like some of the normals, they could say, I don't know why you act like that.
I relate to Hal. And I think rather having us social awkward anxious neurotics, feeling guilt tripped, ostracized, and thrown away by society towards that we are even more abnormal, doesn't help at all. You can't understand until you live one's shoes, I don't think you should judge him despite his psychopathic tendencies. I guarantee it, if I had the looks the smarts the success, he wouldn't be all a putting his eggs in one basket. That what love/passion does to you.
Rather then try to change and pretend someone you're not I want people like me to embrace who you are. Because you will only hate and stress yourself with the person you can't try to be.
I am like a real life Hal. And learned to gain confidence by embracing my weaknesses and making it a strength. I think Hal was still the misunderstood anti-hero. Not saying his intentions were good or bad, but this is the problem with society. Too much judgement, very lack of understanding. Not saying we expect compassion but a little empathy.
I am pretty sure some people still won't get this pompous self-righteous attitude, but I advise for you all people who are like me to, not change, accept who you are, don't let these popular normal people get you down. Embrace abnormality. Screw changing it. Go Hal!
You will eventually find someone who understands, and if you don't *beep* 'em.
If you can get everything you want, I can understand why people could do more, but if you just struggle trying to do what most normal people do, it's understandable why there is a little me first attitude. It's ironic. You're outcasted, misfitted, then end up in jail. There's no escape aside from just embracing who you are.
Outcasts' come join me!

This is like the teenage girls who posted how much they still loved the surviving Boston Marathon bomber. What you call "weaknesses" sometimes turns into criminal conduct. Hal was perfectly okay until he 'crossed the line' and engaged in criminal conduct. Once you do that, no one should have sympathy for you. Hopefully you'll never do anything to physically hurt people. If you do, then don't be surprised if the police one day come knocking on your door.
I sense your main problem is with women. What you call love/passion really is obsession, which of course is NOT COOL. I would suggest you read some books on how to be successful with women. That does not mean you have to indulge in 'psychopathic' tendencies. The key is to learn how to have a good conversation with women. Instead of asking women a lot of questions (like you're an investigator conducting a third degree), use descriptive language that paint PICTURES (stuff like "Boating in Central Park as a beautiful butterfly gently floats on to your arm, watching the incredible fireworks at the riverbank on the 4th of July, taking a spin class with your best friends at the health and racquet club...there are so many AWESOME things to do during the summer in the city." You'll never get anywhere if she thinks you're just tring to have sex with her. Women like romance. Use the cool, flowery language that paints pictures, and you'll definitely get somewhere.
