Tojira, I can understand your point of view with regards the effect that the small things people did had on his mind but you forget that that is what he pushed them to. There is only so much rejection a group can take from an individual before they lose interest. After that the group has a right to feel hurt and then they won't have any patience with him. He said "there were a thousand ways you could have avoided this" when in reality there were a thousand ways in which he refused to deal with those around him. The reading incident is no different. He wanted to reject the class and not the other way round. When he was finally forced to take part his discomfort was his own fault as he was doing the one thing he didn't want to which was working with others. They weren't going to empathise though because he was rejecting them.
It's not that I'm saying he wasn't teased or bullied but in the bits of footage I've seen he blames coniac & hedonism and suchlike. These are hardly things that he would know much about and I doubt he'd blame such things if he had any "reasonable" gripe. At no time does he say "I wanted to get along with you but you wouldn't let me". Most of those thousand problems would have gone away if he had just opened his mouth and said hello.
