And how often that phrase has been misunderstood. I think this is what is getting to him. "The presence of other people forces us the evaluate ourselves with respect to how we want other people to see us." There are too many people who see who he really is now and he cannot handle that.
For a long time, he was able to maintain an illusion of a powerful, rich, brilliant business man, but that image is crumbling all around him and he is being exposed for the hollow nobody that he really is. And the entire world is observing it. I think that is what is really eating at him. I honestly hope it kills him.
