i see a lot of people (me) assume that chell is a "good" person: an ordinary young adult who was just starting her career, or perhaps still in school, who found herself in an unfortunate situation. but what if she isn't any of that? what if the things glados said to her were true, that she's a bitter, unlikable loner without a fulltime job or friends. maybe she's prone to emotional outbursts and struggles with commitment on account of her actually been abandoned on a doorstep, so she was constantly hurting the people around her and destroying anything good that she had going for herelf. applying to be a test subject at aperture was her last resort, since she had literally nothing left to lose. not that any of this makes somebody a bad person -- they'd just be mentally and probably financially troubled -- but it certainly would be reason to be miserable and an overall unpleasant person to be around.
