[Disclaimer: I am no expert in the field of psychology, all I have to my credit is a nurse license and a penchant for Psychiatric Nursing. Seriously. It's the only course I didn't sleep through. What was I saying? Oh yeah. This is purely not in an expert's POV and just a humble opinion.]

This essay shall discuss my personal view of Dave Karofsky,

In one of the fanfiction I forgot to save Dave had a T-shirt that said "Not his type". Sadly, I can't remember who wrote it but it was spot on: it describes not only the physical appearance but also the psyche of one Dave Karofsky.

i read that story too and thought "not his type" was the perfect logo for his t-shirt!

[lostenergy]

read it too! blah i should have saved that link. i liked it :)

The Story is called "From the Start" :)
Look here: http://tin-arrows.livejournal.com/5107.html#cutid1

I am not even sure if Dave was wearing a shirt in the show - he's not in Glee Club so why should he?

this is fascinating. (i love psychology and, though i have no formal training in it, am very interested in how a person's inner workings lead to behavior.) i agree with your assessment and also hope that dave can continue on this road, whether he ends up friends or even lovers with kurt or just learns to accept himself and coexist with someone whose presence had frightened and threatened him for so long.

it also struck me, while reading your summary of erikson's thought, that some of us who turn 60 this summer are still trying to get that ego identity settled! ;)

thank you!

Kurt and Dave will always have this something that links them; beyond the fact that they are both gay. They come from a world of difference but there are aspects in their life that perfectly fit at the same time. Also, they understand each other. So if anything, it's made for friendship (and possibly a relationship? My pirate is showing XD)

Oh yes, indeed. It's pretty common to end up stuck instead of moving on, hence why some people maladapt I guess. I hope Dave manages to though. :)

INDEED AAARRRRRR!!! xD I totally agree with your opinion. And thank you so much for enlighten us about this matter. I loved your great insight and I hope too the best for Dave!!

[lostenergy]

Your username sounds Filipino. Are you, by any chance?

[angel_guerrera]

XD XD Really? But no, I'm mexican and it's spanish: 'angel guerrera' means 'battle angel'. But I understand the confusion, since tagalog has a lot of words in spanish, right? XD Nice to meet you, lostenergy, and I'm really glad for your support to our beloved character, Dave Karofsky!!

[lostenergy]

Well that accounts for the 350 years dem Spanish peeps ruled our country. like my last name, Garcia, is spanish. You're right, tagalog does have a lot of Spanish in it, especially the dialect Chabacano.

Thanks for reading this and keep the Karofsky love high! :)
