Friend, Abandon [ AM I TOO LATE FOR THIS PROMPT? ]
SEND ME A WORD AND I’LL WRITE A HEADCANON ABOUT IT![x] Friend
As obviously seen in events in game, Gary is horrible at keeping close friends, even associates he could consider ‘friends’ are hard to keep as he’s constantly paranoid that those he believe are 'friends’ are just trying to bring his enjoyment down–like they are trying to deter his behavior. Gary had seen it before; his brother Trevor, a smooth-talker, started changing his attitude once his best friend nearly got killed by Trevor’s reckless behavior. In which Gary did not like because it made his brother less fun to be around. If that what friends do to you, then Gary wants no part of it.But, this is mainly concerning the Gary who is off his meds (Which is at least 90% of the time). Now, if he actually took his medication, he isn’t that bad when dealing with personal relationships like friendship, he’s just picky, as the paranoia doesn’t die down as much as one would hope. If anything, it is still probable to have Gary see Jimmy as his only and probably good friend as they are opposites–and you know what they say about opposites: They Attract.
Gary is quick to scapegoat; to drop everything and run off to do something else he believe will be more fruitful. This leads to a lot of betrayal, most of which he does not feel regret over. If he does have some remorse over his actions, the best he would do is do some mild mocking that seemed more teasing than spiteful. But again, this is a rarity; as he learned from his father how to deal with scapegoating other: You don’t. As Gary believes every action he does is not his fault. Thus when it comes to abandonment, he didn’t abandon anyone, you abandoned him.
