“Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past” (Krakauer 2).
Topic; Family Dynamics
Chris McCandless was one of the many people that based his worth off of others opinions. Perhaps because of past experiences people tend to only accept love and support that they feel worthy of, and also because of those experiences' they choose to suppress the memory and act like it never happened. He was forced to be very independent at a young age, both emotionally and physically. His parents were always busy at work so they never had time to tend to their children's needs which caused them to be self dependent and isolated. Since he didn't have a close connection with his family, he didn't feel the need to create any connections with anyone. which is probably why he just disappeared with out any goodbyes, because he felt that no one would truly miss or care that he'd be gone. Chris didn't feel like he deserved love from anyone, which made it easier for him to cut relations with anyone as easy as it was to escape from his past for 2 years.
