Yes he is hiding from a lot of feelings, even though he expresses a lot of feelings, too. He definitely has illusions and fiercely protects them. He expects you to agree wholeheartedly and can’t tolerate doubts, details, or questions being pointed out. I again and again support his ventures, only trying to stop things/ideas that are way way too much.

He’s done dangerous things in this type of way here and there. For example maybe a decade ago putting the smoking, cooking barbecue in the back of the van and driving across town 20 mins. I said no it’s dangerous and pointless, he said I’m stupid or I think he’s stupid and I worry about nothing. So I drove separately with the kids and worried the whole way completely confused by reality and not understanding what he is thinking and doing. He pushes the limits for no reason, like he just likes to create chaos. He has great work skills so it’s easy for him to get a job. He is intolerant and then rude, and then aggressive, then gets fired. He crosses the line he can’t come back from, and seems blindsided when he gets fired. He really believes in his ideas to a fault.
