On the real he always seemed more 'con-artist crazy' to me, like this kid I knew in college who exaggerated his learning disability to be able to take tests alone and untimed (while sneaking in cheat sheets), collect prescription pills to later sell or snort and keep his girl loving him despite his lecherous/loutish/liquored-up behavior by knocking out any dude in the bar who tried to talk to her.

Obviously a dude's got issues to even go to those extremes to get over but that doesnt mean he's not an asshole with a good hustle.
