I'm pretty sure Golden Boy has some mental psychological issues.

After watching him on LF last night talking to himself and reassuring himself that there are some members of the public that like him and support him, and the rather odd behaviour in the bathroom, it came across as very odd. It's like he has some deep set insecurities about himself that need addressing. Is this all in my head or does anyone else agree with me?

Yes, lots of people agree. I am certain he is on the sociopath spectrum & others here have said the same or similar.

He is not the big brave boy he'd like us to believe he is. He is an insecure attention seeking trouble maker.
Sadly there has been no one brave enough to call his bluff. He acts like a spoilt temper tantrum three year old. James said that on Thursday night he made noises all night and kept them all awake. That is not normal behaviour. If a child behaved like he does, it would be off for a behavioural assessment.I am beginning to feel quite sorry for him, he obviously needs help. The BB house is not the place for him.

He was speaking to his public, not the dog.

I do think he has issues but I'm no psychologist. We have often seen, over the years, many HMs 'talking to themselves' when in fact it's really a monologue meant for the viewing public.

If he was down on himself he was probably looking for sympathy.

When Tom Hanks is alone on the island in the film, he talks to himself constantly and eventually fashions a new 'friend' from a football "Wilson". Bear is locked is hermetically-sealed (metaphorically speaking) in a house with people who have made it perfectly clear that they don't like him.

As Bear has pointed out, they are 'nicey-nicey' to each other (superficial), but not one of them seems to have displayed any strong opinions or character (except to express extreme dislike of him). He misses genuine friendship, conversation ("banter"), feels excluded from the main group (and their constant cosmetic surgery / physical embellishments chat) and, to counteract the boredom and loneliness affectionately patted a fake dog (his 'Wilson') and talked to himself a bit. He was also pretty drunk.

As for sociopathic behaviour, this is rather harsh.... Where's the harm. Not necessary to call in the men in white coats yet.

Bear can sometimes take teasing too far, however here are other characters in that house who are ruthlessly playing the game and much better candidates for your 'sociopath' title.

Are we talking about this?

This is him being 'entertaining', in his own mind at least. All for effect, it is the bear show after all!

This is pretty much the intended response to his actions I think.

I take in everything you lot have said, what about when he talks, he sometimes talks in a child like manner, that seems odd as well.

It was the talking to himself in the garden that worried me the most !
He was talking away and twiddling that blond lock of hair messing it up!
The others at the table said that he'd been talking to himself earlier and perhaps they ought to see what he wasn't coming in for tea!
Katie certainly came out and sat with him chatting!
Then I think it was Aubrey !
He said that bacon pasta sounded nice !
I couldn't even hear what he was mumbling by it didn't look right and he doesn't look right .
Marnie's talked to him and Ricky !
Frankie's alwaysnice to him but they all knew he'd hidden booze and drunk bear isn't always nice!

I'm actually concerned that we're watching someone on the edge of losing it !

This to me is something that has happened recently.
I'm not looking at how he was when he first came into the house but now !
playing the game isn't what a sociopath is !
He's different lately and this is a genuine concern!

I agree with you. If he was my son I would be very concerned about him.

I think constantly playing his game of being a nuisance and a saboteur is wearing him down, but he'll carry on to the final. He's just a great game player ....not emotionally disturbed at all.

I agree that the moron persona he's adopted is pushing him to his last limits but disagree that he's a great game player. Great game players have contingency tricks in their bag and Bear doesn't even have a bag, let alone a contingency plan.

He really is as grimly limited as he comes across.

The limited chav fame he received from behaving like a dog on heat in EOTB has gone to his head and he now behaves in what he perceives as the way to keep the eyes of everyone on him.

I think it's quite possible, he exhibits a lot of narcissistic traits for sure.
The way he enjoys f***ing with peoples heads & grinding them down is a wee bit scary to watch. He's not a happy person, but that doesn't excuse the relentless, vindictive, spiteful, bitter, calculated, menacing passive/aggressive behaviour.

People like Bear rely on people empathising & seeing good in them... Then they use that to their own gain, nothing brings them true enjoyment except chaos so they tend to move on quickly to new "Fun" things to do - usually leaving much human debris in their wake. And they tend to hold grudges to the end of their days... Sad way to live.

That ship has sailed I think .
Have you seen his father in the papers posing with a barely dressed nipple exposing Chloe ?

I think Bear is an attention seeker and he'll do whatever he thinks will get him on HLs and give him the attention of the public. I have no idea whether he has psychological issues but although I dislike him I think it's sad that he feels he has to act like he does to validate his existence and so called 'fame'.

I'd feel a lot more empathy for him if he was acting like it in his own home and not spoiling a show I used to like.
