Why Do People Have No Filter

The individual here either has no control of when to stop talking or is pressure to keep a conversation going. In most cases the individual does not consider the consequences of saying something before they say it, being honest even if it’s brutal. We can consider people like this not having a filter while speaking and being blunt. Also, the individual will freely interrupt another person while conversing. Throughout the movie Pat has no filter. It was first noted when he first arrived home. His mother Dolores discretely told him before entering the house that his father lost his job and is now bookmaking to earn money to open a restaurant. Once he encounters his father he confronts him, keeps asking many questions non-stop, no pauses, until
his father finally interrupts him and tells him it’s going to be alright. Not only does he not know when to stop speaking Pat can also be brutally honest or say the wrong things at the wrong time not knowing the consequences of what he says. Before meeting Tiffany Maxwell, his friend Ronnie, tells him not to mention how her husband died and the first thing he does is ask her. Later on tells her she has poor social skills and her crazy because she might just be crazier than himself for losing her job for being a sex addict after her husband died. Pat’s actions contributes to the DSM- 5’s criteria of not being able to stop and think before speaking.
