** Roberto is not willing to admit the deeply ingrained beliefs he has about the world are still there, because he desperately wants to be seen as a good person without actually putting in the hard work needed to unlearn his bad habits and horrid beliefs in his mental framework.

** Roberto views his life as a party-building video game (with himself as the undisputed leader of course). He's manipulated or outright forced enough people to work with him that he can defend against the many enemies he makes. Plus, the fact that so many people are focused on him, [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity even in a negative way]], reinforces his illusion of importance.
** Roberto undergoes treatment for his pathological egocentrism. Progress takes considerable time and effort, so he still acts self-centered on occasion, but becomes an overall better person.

** Roberto viewing the world from the perspective of a story or a game means that he cannot recognize other people ''as'' people. As such, he goes around tormenting, harassing, killing, or other horrific things simply because he believes that it's all part of his grand story. In the process, he ends up making [[CreateYourOwnVillain powerful enemies]] of the family or friends of the people he hurts, who all make it their goal to destroy him for his selfish behavior.

** Roberto's fixation on himself is driven by a desire to do whatever it takes to preserve his image of himself no matter what. If he did something that utterly contradicts his perception of himself, he will [[SelfServingMemory twist every single aspect of the truth]] into something that feels more comfortable no matter how full of falsehoods it is, because his ego cannot tolerate the possibility of his self-image being shattered under any circumstances. Thus, while in situations where his ego cannot be challenged, he is frustrating but manageable. But when he's in a situation where the truth of his nature is shown to him in a way he cannot ignore, he has a complete breakdown, causing colossal amounts of collateral and emotional damage in the process.
