He was an extreme introvert. I'm one too, and I interpret this as I've experienced life - wondering and assuming you know what people are thinking about you. Introversion can be a very self-centered state - you assume everybody's thinking about you all the time, judging you and finding you lacking, laughing at you in contempt. It's not true, of course, but still that's how the introvert feels.
Bless his heart.* He was keenly aware of how he appeared to others, but he couldn't see past his insecurity to recognize his own immense worth.

@aventurine That sounds less like introversion and more like severe social anxiety and possibly delusion.
