We are like brothers so he's great with me, but treats everyone like they are wrong or immature or idiots. I noticed it at first and when he kept doing it I payed closer attention: he wants everyone to think he's an asshole. And he cannot contain himself from acting like that when the group is gathered.

I realized though that he tries to be nice when to people when it's just the two of them. Moreover, people (girls especially) end up talking shit about him behind his back and I think that he does it so girls get the idea that he is a "bad boy". I honestly think he's shooting himself in the foot by being like this because people see he's just acting like a jerk, but he said that's who he is...

The last drop was when I noticed that people are actually being quite when he's around. Is this a good sign or he's just overplaying it?
