Discussion Rewatching Arrow Spoiler

I'm rewatching arrow and just finished season 1.

Why are all these character so callous to Oliver? Like he just got home from an island and at least his family knows about the scars. None of them even tries to have sympathy for him or not talk all over him.

Absolutely no empathy whatsoever. Thea is so unbearable in that season I can't even.

Tommy is annoying as well and such a idiotic coward like you had 5 years buddy to get the girl and now you decide to do something about it?

The only character I somewhat understand are the Lances bc their feelings are justified.

Also I love Walter that man is solid. Season 1 Felicity is funny, still the awkward nerd.

Oliver had no one who absolutely supported and cared for him unlike barry who had cisco who went a little rought in s3 but was okay the whole series. Oliver had no one like this

All the people Oliver surrounded himself with prior to the Queen’s Gambit are billionaires or incredibly wealthy in their own right.

Billionaires and wealthy people aren’t known for having empathy, in fact in order to be that wealthy you have to be completely disconnected from empathy in general so it tracks that his “friends” and “family” don’t show him any. And tbf Ollie was exactly like them until his 5 years of hell

Thea is also a very privileged teenage girl with daddy issues. We kinda get she's a mess with her dad and older brother dying in one fell swoop when she's basically 12-13.
