Everybody needs a hug sometimes. Some people only need it once in a great while and if you try to hug them when they don’t need it they get mad, but eventually they’ll need at least one.

@@joemcguire9988 wise words…

Missy is his twin, he’s stuck with her from day 0. He also shared a womb with her so Missy is the one person who could hug him without arguments

@@leahsincelejo7641 No, he isn't.

@@leahsincelejo7641do you not pay attention to the franchise? The whole point of Young Sheldon is to show the stories and how it was when Sheldon was growing up that’s the sole purpose of the show. It was created cuz of how popular Sheldon’s character was on the Big Bang Theory so after it ended they launched Young Sheldon.

Yup. Typical sister behavior.

Well she did warn him not to do it but he wouldnt do it so you can also see it like this. How would you feel that a guy that thinks he knows it all actually doesnt know it all and makes matters worse eventhough you adviced him not to do it. Some people would feel like that is karma. But nevertheless missy is there for him when he gets upset. She may love the trashtalk but when it matters she is there to give comfort.

@Christopher Bingham maybe you should think of the context of the scene behind those words and read the comment again bud.

Missy doesn't hate Sheldon. She hates how she is not able to have the same freedom he has. When Sheldon first was separated from her, Missy had separation anxiety. She excells where Sheldon does not. Missy is brilliant in her own way. Her empathy is what makes you love her.

@Christopher Bingham they didn't mean it in a literal way

I've said many times I may not always like my siblings, but I always love them.

It is known as: Emotional Intelligence. My son showed this as a child. It was special to watch him understanding the people around him. He could weed out the fake friend attempt to play up to him. He felt the hearts and minds of the sincere emotions of the true people in the room. I watched this happen many times.❤

He didn't need to tell him he's very disappointed in him. Sheldon was just trying to help

Exactly!

George is a good father, but he does not understand Sheldon.

@@mrmucro2704 He doesn't understand him but I think the scene still holds a lot of power. Sheldon considered himself smart and "above the adults." even in his own home. His arrogance with his mother and at the start with his father shows that despite his 'genius' nature and 'I'm in the top 1% of the worlds IQ despite being a quarter of their average ages combined' he's STILL a child. He STILL needs to be taught that despite "having a book" and "being smart" sometimes you really need to actually look beyond all that and realize that you're still a kid who still doesn't know much about the world. This scene is important to Sheldon's growth as a child because it shows him that despite being smart he can still be wrong. It's a variation of Minkus from Boy Meets World. The Genius Child still needs to be shown that they're wrong and that their actions can have far reaching concequences.

Except Sheldon WASNT wrong. He figured out how to fix the refrigerator and the arrogant adults didn't give him a chance.

So did I buddy…so did I 🥺

There have been many MANY times I have wanted to slap my brothers silly, but I always love them.

Not for everyone of course.

@@allshookup1640 I'm single, but I've seen a lot of sibling rivalry among elders 💔that's why i don't have much good experience about it

@@allshookup1640 Yeah being the older sister there are times I want to beat the shit out of my brothers lol (I'm 20, they are 18 and 10 yrs old) but at the end of the day I'm still the older sister of one and the second mother of other.

@@emmaaaaa15.2 Sheldon’s a victim too. Because he’s a smart kid in an average family nobody can honestly understand him.

You didn't miss that much.

Scenes like this led me to believe she was the older twin.

@@joshmg25 I don’t even think it’s that. I mean she might be, but Missy understands social cues. She’s more in touch with her emotions and what someone crying would need than Sheldon is. Sheldon doesn’t really understand and that’s not his fault it’s just how his brain is. The creators have denied that he is on the autism spectrum, but the way they portrayed him whether intentional or not has led many people to believe Sheldon probably has Asperger’s. He displays many many traits and characteristic of it throughout the series. Had TBBT been released in 2022, the creators probably would have confirmed it.

I agree with that but George said it WAY wrong. Sheldon was just trying to help and make his parents proud and be independent for once. George should have INSTEAD said “I understand that you wanted to help, but you went about it the wrong way, I am upset at your actions” But just saying “I’m disappointed in you” can break a child’s soul…

​@@ninjafalls1739 Help means doing something to fix something that was being a problem for all the family. What Sheldon did was because the problem only bothered him, that's not helping. I do feel bad for Sheldon but he needs to learn his lesson. If that noise was actually a problem to everyone in the house then it was helping, if it only bothers him and he only act because he wants things his way that's not helping. I love Sheldon but he can't be justified of everything. Edit: Also hearing "I'm disappointed in you" doesn't break a child soul, it makes them feel sad yes but they need to understand when they did something really bad. Telling your kid that you are disappointed with something bad they did isn't going to hurt the kid as much as you think. Yes, they will feel sad obviously but they will also understand what they did wrong and to never do it again. No one says their kid that they are disappointed in them unless they actually did something really really bad, that's why it makes kids understand instead of "breaking their soul". For how harsh it might sound sometimes kids need to hear that otherwise they won't learn between right and wrong or when they really did mess up.

​@@ninjafalls1739you got it all wrong. he wasn't trying to be independent or anything he always thought he is the smartest in the room, and that's why he opened the entire refrigerator

@@ninjafalls1739 Sheldon was not trying to help his parents. They told him to leave it alone but he didn't like the noise that no one else heard and decided to take the whole thing apart. What he should have done was ask them to call someone to fix it and he would take on extra chores to help pay for it. But Sheldon doesn't do chores.

The final scene in the season 2 finale when he was sitting in the garage alone.

I would have just told him that he should learn that some things are not worth risking. Sorry, but he was warned many times and it costed the family 200 bucks. Considering George was making only 75 bucks a week, you can imagine that it would take three weeks to get the money.

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Alright damn buddy. We get it

How lucky. My brother would tell me to man up whenever I cried. He says being hurt is part of growing up.

That is so sweet

No thats not true

@@feniks83 Yes it is.

As an autistic person I can confirm that some autistic people do find this comforting. It's called deep pressure

That’s true in some cases, but Sheldon isn’t on any spectrum he’s just smart lmao the creators have said repeatedly that he’s not. They’re not trying to keep some big secret from us 🤣 by the way I don’t wanna give any hate, but I thought correcting might help since it’s important to recognize that there are unusually smart people AND autistic people, they’re not always the same :) hope you have a lovely day

@@naynut4080 when you watch the show, it's kinda obvious that he was intended to have aspergers, as someone with aspergers it was crystal clear to me. from his love for trains, that one episode where he explicitly says that he can't understand emotions and mannerisms of others well to his obsession with routines. (rigid bedtime routine, eats only certain meals in certain days, wears certain shirts on certain days, etc) he even has multiple jokes on not understanding the irony multiple times in the show. (he constantly asks leonard and penny if what they say is ironic or not) maybe the producers didn't want to put it out there but jim parsons confirmed his views on it

I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually crying 😭

Sheldon deserved it that scolding. He wasn't fixing anything, it's just that in his whole life no one has ever told him no before. His mum coddled him like crazy and everyone around him gave in to his every whims. If someone didn't step in and tell him to stop, he would've dismantled the tv, the radio, the car, etc.

ummm you are aware that he litterally destroyed the fridge and had his dad pay 200$ for nothing ?

@@saul_goodman15 I was saying it from a autistic kids view. I’ve tried to fix something myself although not as expensive & just get yelled at so. Yes Ik the situation and I’m not justifying his actions. I’m just relating to the situation and his feelings. I’ve never gone that far though my family didn’t let me.

Do be aware he also had federal agents come to his house cause he did an illegal science experiment.

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast I’m not saying what he’s doing is wrong I’m just saying I can relate as a kid to it autism to having tried to fix something and not being able to fix it again. I never did anything like a fridge or that expensive but I did try to fix things. I got scolded and I know that it was necessary but I do relate to the pain he felt.

Another reason why Mary sucks

It's in the garage. George never noticed it was missing.

@@kj7653 That's still a decision you should run by your husband

I think one was supposed to represent that sheldon isn't the centre of attention while the other might've just been for humor

For me, young Sheldon was funny while big bang theory was just stupidity.

Yes! Sometimes being a good parent also means disciplining your child. Not through yelling, or spakings/etc. But through calm discussion the way George Sr did it. You can tell it broke his heart, but he did it. Sometimes tough love can be the best of teachers.

He is a football coach. He can handle a 9 year old genius

he made a 10 year old get a job made him get up at 5 in the morning and Sheldon didn't even like just because someone is Smart doesn't mean they can do anything thing especially a 10 year old

​@SamuelMin-jx7dq you have to keep in mind that this is a different time in the show. Saying that's wrong now wasn't seen as such back then.

Once he grew up enough to live on his own he had no one he needed to be accountable to until Leonard and Penny came along. Several years on his own probably caused him to regress and lose a lot of his social skills.

It’s a prequel. They didn’t plan to do Young Sheldon

So generally a lot of people guess that Sheldon regressed after his parents split up and his dad died, especially since he was away from home for college at the time and wasn’t able to draw on family support because his mom was grieving and Georgie had to look after her and Missy.

As an adult, Sheldon is actually like a cartoon character. Younger Sheldon, while a pain in the butt, is actually more believable.

I have tinnitus which is very annoying but I've learned to live with it.

Honestly, he should have talked about it with his parents.

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiasthe did but they said to leave it alone

Considering how adult Sheldon looked at his father with nothing but disdain, I suspect young Sheldon's crying was because someone he considered to be so far beneath him was standing there scolding him and telling him how he (George) was disappointed in him. How dare lowly George be disappointed in almighty Sheldon.

I think he dislikes his father as an adult because he cheated on Mary and broke the family.

@@richardrobertson1886 Didn’t mary get with pastor rob? Nothing really happend with george and billy’s mum?

@@RuthsRules-qz4he the adult Sheldon literally talked about how he caught his father having sex with another woman. get your head out of your ass

​@richardrobertson1886 except that Season 7 addressed that accusation. Turns out, George didn't cheat. I don't want to spoil it for you with what really happened, but he didn't. Sheldon was wrong, but to explain what really happened is not appropriate or his business.

He has feelings even if he is selfish. I mean you can’t be selfish without feelings.

I mean that was warranted and that is actually how I want parents to discipline their kids.

@Christopher Bingham Christopher I have seen you around here a lot of times. Don't you think that autistic people have certain triggers and that sound was triggering Sheldon? It might not mean a lot to us but for someone on the spectrum it does matter. It was affecting his sleep and his normal work routine and its not like he didn't inform his parents about the sound bothering him. If the adults aren't helping him, what was he supposed to do in this case?

@Christopher Bingham can't say i agree with you about the computer. If it was 2022 I'd say it's necessary for someone like him to have. In the 80s however it's a different story. A personal home computer at the time was considered a luxury and the average family would have no use for one. Sheldon didn't need a computer to do taxes and homework, something he enjoyed doing by themselves before. He pretty much wanted an expensive toy.

@Christopher Bingham I don't think Meemaw is as generous as you think her to be and even if she was I really doubt George Sr. would accept the money considering the fit he threw when she offered to pay for Sheldon's computer. Also I don't think anyone would even think there was a problem since Sheldon was the only one who was triggered by the sound. I think Sheldon did the best he could as a 10 year old.

@Christopher Bingham But he cannot. For normal people, it would be simple to just live with it but Sheldon has been shown to be on the spectrum. Autistic people have certain triggers like sounds and colours that they cannot ignore. Even if they aren't rich, they should have still listened to Sheldon considering he was having trouble sleeping and following his normal routine.

Twins have a bond

@Christopher Bingham in season 3 mainly

@Christopher Bingham he deserved it

@Christopher Bingham The consequences were incredibly tame. His mum coddled him his entire life, and everyone around him keeps telling him he's a genius. He has an enermous ego for his age and someone needed to tell him no.

Apparently, Missy didn’t help as she just comforted him. Even if Sheldon cried, he didn’t deserve to be comforted as what he did was wrong and costed the family 200 bucks.

Agreed. His narratives in the Big Bang Theory are very one-sided. I like how Young Sheldon gives more color and character to everyone. It shows that his stories are just his opinions and not necessarily what really happened.

Me too! I only recently discovered it and I’m now fully up to date!

I think given time he might have been able to put it back together, good as new. AND NO NOISE.

I unfortunately don’t feel that way as that is just part of growing up.

You should have never been hit or yelled at. And I agree Sheldon needed to be scolded and put in place But George said the wrong thing He should have said “I understand you wanted to help, but you went about it the wrong way and I am upset at your actions. Do better next time” Instead of “I’m disappointed in you” Because that can break a child’s soul…

@@ninjafalls1739 telling a kid "im disappointed in you" wont break their soul. Now if he had said "you cant do anything right! All you do is mess up and make mistake." Now that will break their soul. Which George wouldnt had done ever because he supports sheldon even more than Mary that coddles and babys him. He treats him like an equal, i mean hes their accountant. Because of Mary letting him get away with things instead of holding him accountable, he became the sheldon from the big bang theory that thinks hes always right and can do no wrong. He became entitled with no sense of reality. He expected his friend to do what he said and not argue back.

@@ninjafalls1739clearly you might have had really nice parents or something, but parents telling a child they are disappointed in them is normal. Physical discipline is normal in every country. Connie actually spanks Sheldon in one episode, even if they do not show the episode.

I mean he was warned many times not to do it, and he costed George 200 bucks, which is almost 3 weeks worth of pay for him.

The father needs to chill because yelling at someone’s face like that is not acceptable just talk to him In a nice tone voice not yell at him

Sheldon is lucky because if me or my siblings did that my parents would bury us. Not only would we get our asses handed to us but be grounded for 3 months. Plus pay the money back.

And eidetic memory doesn't mean u can fix everything reading book manual and in reality its very difficult

That's not how an eidetic memory works.

He doesn’t know how to put it back together cause splitting a phone into two prevents the phone from being put back together.

He always claimed money didn't mean anything to him and he proved to be very selfish as exhibited in the episode where he and Missy got separate rooms and he claimed ownership of nearly every item in the room, even the waste basket. This was repeated in TBBT when he and Amy started living together and he and Leonard were dividing their possessions. Sheldon claimed absolutely everything to be his. And he ridiculed Georgie for being very successful in business and having made a lot of money. Georgie helped support Mary and Missy after Sheldon left, but there is no indication that Sheldon helped when he started earning money. He just squirreled it away. (I will admit he loaned some to Penny when she needed it.)

at least fine Sheldon an easy job
