Is it that this a pattern that keeps being repeated?

Where people will hold back telling Carmy important things because they don't want him to feel bad?

AND whenever he's told something important he turns it around to be about HIMSELF

What he should have done, instead of the actual solution to the problem or issue at hand

Sydney is finally not holding back

Richie said it in the second episode of season 1.

He's always have to look out for Carmy, make sure he didn't get in trouble. Basically babying him

But since Carmy insulted him from the walk-in he's not holding back on Carmy ANYMORE

Carmy went from a baby to Donna in that walk-in
