He's a self-confessed delusional who believes his own
brain punishes itself with pain, dizziness, and a buzzing
in the ears when forced to confront conflicts. That's
a very serious mental disorder which must be taken
into account when discussing issues with him, because
rather than face the truth like a normal person does he
deludes himself instead to feel good for fear that his
brain is going to punish him again.
