Johnny is succumbing to what a lot of guys fall into, even at the High School level. From a very young age, everyone pumps sunshine up their ass, and without someone keeping them grounded, all that sunshine turns into belief. And from belief builds confidence, then leads to cockiness without any checks and balances. For the record, I think Johnny's parents, from what I have seen (but do not know), attempted to keep him grounded, BUT as the Cos' said "...cocaine (in this case aggrandizement) amplifies your personality, but what if you are an asshole?"
