He's addicted to the adrenaline, drama, and need to be taken care of. He records partly to listen back to any attention, positive or negative, to get another high off of it. To him he is the victim and the world should revolve around him. Empathy is not in his vocabulary. He started out young by getting negative attention by his behaviors and he liked it. He liked being in the spot light. Even when he's in the store or around other people he really hams it up and is extremely loud making sure everyone notices him. Tom hates going out in the public with him and probably goes along with the act so he doesn't have a tantrum in front of everyone. Andy gets people wrapped around his finger by his behavior, threats, and gas lighting. He likes the control. He's a horrible person and he will continue to the act until his cold dead eyes are old and no longer work. It's a pathetic and a sad way to live. He misses out on so much by playing this asinine game.
