20. He has extremely awkward mannerisms, especially when challenged. The way he speaks, shifts his eyes,

holds his body, tilts his head - he's socially awkward. It seems that the idea that he's wrong is a personal threat and challenge to him. That's when he displays his extremely awkward mannerisms.

I believe that he was bullied as a child, and learned how to be a bully. He learned how to be a cruel bully, more cruel than the people who bullied him.

From my experience working with children/adults on the autism spectrum, he may be autistic. He reminds me a bit of Sheldon from the Big Bang theory (the early seasons). Children w/autism are different and are often bullied. Their social skills are limited, but often have great knowledge about subjects that interest them.

I had a little group of 5 year olds at the beach, all playing in the sand, except for one little boy. He was trying to figure out which rays of the sun were penetrating the umbrellas, and wanted to talk to the other kids about it. Needless to say they weren't interested.

EDIT to add: I believe he doesn't think people can love unconditionally, can give for the sake of giving, care about others because of empathy. I really believe that he thinks everyone has ulterior motives, and judges people as such.
