Well so have many people, the difference is for someone who has issues with social interactions and who may quite possibly be on the spectrum anyway, losing more than one significant role model at a very young age is going to have more significant and lasting impact because he doesn't really know how to deal with it and never has done. He's not a c***t at all no more than any of the rest of them, he's just different.

What's also interesting is that Sheldon's Pop Pop was also like him. Based on what his grandmother said he shared the same quirks.

Sheldon loves his mee maw. Penny has a similar vibe as mee maw where she can challenge Sheldon head to head. Sheldon loves his Pop Pop and is basically another him. Sheldon x Penny is a ship, I rest my case. (Spoiler) In one of the episodes, Bernadette brought up how without Sheldon, none of them would’ve met but Penny will still end up being Sheldon’s neighbor. ;P Unpopular theory: In the beginning 1-3 seasons, Sheldon seems to have interest in Penny just like Leonard. The only difference is that Leonard talked to her first (since he was way more socially awkward) and realized his friend liked her so he ended up burying his feelings for friendship. Also, (spoiler) there was another episode where Penny told Sheldon a story of a time she regretted hiding her feelings about a guy she liked, then that guy got a girlfriend. Sheldon responds with “I’m the guy.” Although Penny tries to assure Sheldon it’s not him, we have already seen countless times that Penny is a terrible liar especially when she’s using personal stories as examples. I don’t know if this ruined anyone’s ship, but hi.

So a brilliant kid like Sheldon lost his pop pop, an uncle and his dad at an early age. Pop pop encouraged him to do science, when the rest of his family didn't. He was bullied and he didn't have any friends. Even his twin sister/older brother kinda picked on him. His dad died when he was fourteen presumably while he was away at college. He must have been very close to his dad since he always watched football with his dad from age 5-12 (even if he didn't like it). His dad clearly liked keeping Sheldon around him, since Sheldon kept his drinking a secret from mom or tried to. He watched his uncle get killed by a badger! A brilliant mind like Sheldon really didn't process things the way we do. His Christian upbringing probably didn't help his development. His mom just thought he was crazy and got him tested, but she could have thought about therapy for losing his grandpa/father so young. In a way, it's no wonder Sheldon has this huge attachment to Leonard/Amy/Penny now. Whether he sees it or not.

But yeah, his family, including his parents and Meemaw, were very supportive of his educational aspirations.

imagine someone with Sheldon's limited abilities to process emotions, basically being stuck on the emotional level of a little child, combined with his brilliant mind, that contradicts mostly he's been told from early on as untrue and an eidetic memory that kinda has him trapped in the past, curses him to relive everything he has experienced over and over again, forcing his mind and emotions into a neverending conflict.

In some ways, I relate strongly with Sheldon. I was the youngest child (way before my little sisters came into the world to use me as their punching bag), and my older siblings weren't the sort of role models a youngster should have ... While they would sleep around, party all the time and will often do drugs and drink and that ... I realised at a super young age that I would rather be ' boring ' and go down the road where I can work with animals, have relations with someone I want to annoy for the rest of my life and have a happy life ... and besides my Great Grandma I called Nanny Lady, no one in the family really cared so deeply for animals like I do. So when everyone calls me Sheldon, I feel blessed, as he really has so much layers you have to peel in order to see a pretty epic dude :P

If this was a different kind of show, this would've been a great plot twist, nail biter moment... And Santa would've needed another pair of pants.

My "pop-pop" died on Christmas back in '12. I didn't cry, though. It was pretty sudden; he had a heart attack the Saturday before. My "meemaw" (but on the other side of the family) died 1 or 2 months later. Much shitty timing, TBH.

except in an earlier episode it was his meemaw that encouraged him

Am I the only one who always hates how his friends ridicule him even though they know he has problems communicating

This really hits close to home because I did the same thing when my parents took me to see Santa when I was five. My Paw Paw had just died that September and I miss him and want him back to this day.
