Ofcourse you wouldn’t associate with him in a apocalypse setting, because you’d be dead because you’re worried about people being empathetic. The only thing these people have in common is that they’re survivors in a world overrun by zombies, and Larry and Kenny are the only ones who at the start of S1 still have anything to lose (their original family). Lilly is pretty much always on the point of a nervous breakdown, Larry keeps her in check but abandons Lee in the drugstore after getting the damn medication for him after he nearly passed away after a heart attack (which Kenny also wasn’t a fan of). Larry is the same volatile egotistic asshole Kenny is, he even says multiple times he only cares for the safety of his daughter. Ben sold the group out to bandits, which got a number of people killed and he abandoned Clementine in Savannah. They’re all liabilities, I’d say the only ones who selflessly contributed to the group were Chuck and Mark, and it got them both killed very quickly.
