I suppose it's because Worm probably wasn't written to be a completely realistic simulation of people in such circumstances. Nor is Miss Hermitcrab. They are merely people's interpretations of such, much like how psychiatric models of the human mind are as well. The latter are simply more specialized and researched to their role.
Well, Rachel sounded quite a bit like feral children. I'd hazard a guess that wildbow did her homework. From my knowledge of psychology, that result is pretty likely. No social skills? Little desire to interact with people? Attempts to circumvent these ending badly?
No offense, but until stated, your knowledge of psychology is rather dubious from my perspective.
Fair enough. I'm pretty sure we're all working from pretty much nonexistent backgrounds, so the field's level at least.
Furthermore, I doubt the hermit crab (because "hermit-crab with a closet for a shell" takes too long to type) was in the same conditions. Bullying and mild isolation do not seem to be factors that would make someone resemble a feral child.
Selina was raised by a mother who was barely ever there and had no friends or anyone else to interact with for the first decade and a half or so of her life. Regardless of her personality, she's going to end up feral-ish from simple lack of human contact.
How do you unwatch a post? I don't want the updates for these anymore.
Stop clicking the "NEW" button next to the thread title?
And that's pretty much the only way I ever track threads, so I can't help you past that.
((McDonalds Wi-Fi ftw.
I wonder how long until free wi-fi for customers/visitors becomes the norm.
Or rather, I wonder if we will have switched to some other thing first. Like, devices all linked together via some kind of quantum entanglement thing. Or at least high-speed satellite Internet.
