A Couple Of Parts From Kendall’s Tvtropes Page That Leave Me Aching

Anti-Role Model: According to Culkin and Snook, Shiv and Roman look at how much of an open wound Kendall can be, and how he's treated in the family because of it, and clam up their own emotions in response.
Because You Were Nice to Me: He's so used to Logan either not giving affection or using touch as control, that he's cried at least three times from someone actually being kind to him and comforting him.
His Own Worst Enemy: Many of his failures can be attributed to a combination of unchecked substance abuse, hubris, shame, self-loathing, and a desperate need to please his father.
I Did What I Had to Do: Kendall really hates him-self, and a lot of the time he can't even convince his own mind of this, but he tries to tell himself he's good because he agonizes over every choice (which of course people don't see and so they think of him as weak).
Love Martyr: Kendall has an unfortunate tendency to think if he's getting humiliated that means whoever is doing actually loves him. Strong: When you grow up in a house full of abuse, you come to associate forms of abuse with forms of love. They become indistinguishable.
Nice to the Waiter: Ironically enough, and while he's still vain and self-absorbed, he's the one who will pay any kind of halfway decent attention to staff characters, even if a lot of it is out of wanting to be retraumatise himself.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: He's pretty good at the "eyes wet with unshed tears" look, although it never works on anyone in-universe. Logan openly complains about them, calling them the "doggy evils".
Thousand-Yard Stare: Almost his default mode, even his younger self in the credits is sitting dissociating while the rest of the family talk at the table.
Tragic Dream: It's made clear that Kendall would be happier doing anything other than becoming CEO, up to and including being kidnapped and held in a cow shed, but he's been groomed (with plenty of subtext of the other kind of grooming) his whole life into thinking this means he's worth literally anything to his dad.
Tragic Hero: Kendall Roy has the potential to be a good person; hell, he even has the potential to be a good CEO. Unfortunately, his immaturity, excessive pride, and total lack of self-worth ruin anything he attempts to do, leaving him in a constant cycle of being broken and alone.

she’s always just teasing in good faith with a good heart behind it because they’re friends, and she likes him, and he’s a dork and honestly so is she! and he’s never really had someone be nice to him like that, he’s so used to jokes being at his expense and too sharp and with veiled disdain behind them that it’s almost normal. so when Scully messes with him, says things like “must be an x-file” in response to his confusion, he visibly stalls.

Daniel, wake up. Your readers are calling me “poor little meow meow” on their online forum application. What do they mean by this, Daniel? You’ll recall it was Louis who meowed. Did you not tell them I am incredibly wealthy? One of them said I was “born in a cardboard box and left in the rain to die”. This is a patently untrue telling of my history. You’ve misrepresented me
