This is a natural consequence of all people being "fucked up", although I'd phrase it as "broken".
In the first anecdote the chef is a raging alcoholic, which is a pretty obvious issue, but everybody, no matter how successful or perfect-seeming, has some kind of cross to bear that occasionally makes them act in seemingly-irrational ways at times. Maybe they have a crippling phobia of spiders, so they refuse to watch any live TV programming that might show one. Maybe they have a birthmark across their genitals so they absolutely refuse to have sex with the lights on. Maybe they had perfectionist parents, so they react really badly to criticism. Etc, etc, etc.
- real_pop 4y agoThanks for this comment, for highlighting that we're all human.
- travisjungroth 4y agoThis is not being broken. This is being a human. It's like calling a car that just rolled out of the factory broken because it will need service and repair over its lifetime. A fear that makes you avoid some media does not make you broken. Body image issues you work around does not make you broken. Reacting badly to things that remind you of painful parts of your upbringing does not make you broken. These are problems, challenges, issues, maybe horrible ones. But they are not the person and they do not make the person broken.
