    Thanks, @taylorclogston

    …I pretty much based my character [in God’s Not Dead] off of these guys that I see who are just angry — they’re just filled with anger and hatred.” -Kevin Sorbo, who wasn’t a very good villain

    I have actually found a way that this villain works. PTSD can do so many things to a person. One of my villains has been abused in their backstory. He hides his pain by constantly shunning others and being mean to them because 1: He doesn’t want them to be friends with him, he has low self esteem and doesn’t consider himself worthy of love. And 2: he’s not just sad, he’s scared. He’s scared of commitment, so he just insults everyone until they cant possibly love him, thus eliminating the ‘threat’ of a relationship.

    He views being rude to others as protecting himself, and also as ‘justified’ by his past trauma. he feels he has a right to hate everyone.

    I don’t know if that makes sense to you guys, I’m bad at explaining techniques.
