Somewhere in there, underneath all the pretense and the multilayered armor, is a perfectly nice human being. It actually sneaks out through the cracks and makes an appearance once in a blue moon before he can get it shoved back inside again. Somewhere along the line, Barry became convinced that perfectly nice person was unacceptable, Not Nearly Good Enough. Somebody did a really brutal brainwashing job on him. Ever since, Barry has been compelled to project a different, "special" person, an invulnerable person who didn't need to be acceptable to anyone or accountable for anything. But that "special" person is a fake through and through, and all the nastiness and hostility is a function of the fact that deep down inside, the perfectly nice person Barry keeps so well hidden is hideously ashamed of the pretense. > > just for starters.

He's exactly like the True Believers he so compulsively dumps on. But those TBs are mostly a figment of his imagination. They're what he's *afraid* he's really like down deep.
