Hitler started out that way too. Early on, his approach to women was being vaguely nearby on some occasions, not speaking to them, and wonder why she didn't respond to his non-communication

Sounds like solid information from a reputable source with extensive knowledge on the subject. I trust it

You can ask for a source without the snark. Now I'm wondering why you're trying to discredit people that are mocking Hitler 🤔

It was a joke.

Personally I just dislike the odd gossip like "facts" about historical figures that crop up over time. Hitler doesnt need to have been a molested child, failed artist meth addict with just one testicle and mental illness and whatever else people have attributed to him over the years to explain his deeds. Sometimes people are just really fucking evil.

failed artist meth addict

This one is true though. He was rejected from art school and his doctor (Dr. Morel) actually prescribed him a fair bit of meth in the last year of the war. It's covered in the book Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich

It's true, though. There was a reason why Hitler had to load up on Amphetamines before he went on stage.
