I think this speaks really deeply about people who've been hurt to the point where they can only feel safe not coming out of their shell and by erecting barriers between themselves and others in the form of a personality that people will be able to readily accept as real as a means of escaping reality. The part that I find especially true was the bit about how vulnerable a person is underneath this self-erected barricade. I'm somewhat of a trekkie, and an analogy I find intriguing is what i am coining the enterprise metaphor: you could have 100% shield efficiency, but have hull breaches on all your decks. If you don't watch star trek, that could essentially mean you could take all sorts of attacks from other ships and come out from it, making you look very strong, but in reality your ship could be about to explode.
