just simply honest. It can be implied that honesty is a healthy thing to possess, along with confidence; and it just so happens that Disick has plenty of that.

Viewers and non-viewers alike of the Kardashian show concur that Scott Disick is arrogant and conceited, but it could be argued that he is just very confident, and who ever said that confidence was bad? Disick may exude confidence quite frequently, maybe even too frequently, but isn’t it better to have more confidence than none? One of my sources tells me that Disick “thinks he just stepped out of GQ Magazine,” but if he is a fan of the content, then I say all the power to him! It is no secret that Disick is also infatuated by the way that he dresses, which he has made clear to the Kardashian clan on many occasions; he even bought a suit for Bruce Jenner (Kris’s husband) because he said that Jenner should dress more like him. On occasion Disick’s confidence may be interpreted as conceited, similar to how his inclination to party is often interpreted as recklessness.

Viewers who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians know that Scott Disick has suffered from alcohol addiction in past years, and recently went to therapy in 2010. These viewers have seen what Disick is like in such atmospheres: having a good time drinking and partying. As we have all once heard, everyone needs a hobby; Disick’s is to party, and what is wrong with having a bit fun now and then? Let’s be realistic, here: the guy works in the night club business, so how can you be upset when he goes to night clubs and has a good time? Maybe he is just doing his job a few of those times, and who are you to tell people when they should or should not have fun? Sure he takes this hobby of his to the extreme every now and then, but at least he gained control of it and sought treatment to his temporary addiction. If partying with friends and family makes Disick happy, then do you really want to stand in the way of someone’s happiness? Everyone likes to have a good time, so these people who like to comment on Disick’s actions should try to cut down on the criticism, because I guarantee that they like to have a good time, too.

There are more comments about the Kardashian clan than Kardashians themselves, and nine times out of ten, these comments are straight up criticism. Plenty of the commentary is geared towards Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s boyfriend, who seems to be quite misunderstood. People love to point out things that are wrong with other people’s lives, and Disick is a prime example of one of these victims; he is said to be harshly outspoken, arrogant and conceited, and an out-of-control alcoholic. On the contrary, Disick is simply an honest and confident man who likes to have a good time, much like the rest of us. So I would highly suggest that you “haters” out there put a little bit more thought into why you are criticizing Scott Disick, because at the end of the day, someone can relate.
