Meh, I hate that kind of stupid baseless drama statement. What is wrong with wanting to be special, using the gifts you're given to make a positive change in the world. The problem is when you don't appreciate your luck, and lose you sense of perspective and humility; not something he is at any immediate risk of given his self esteem issues.
If anything his problem is the opposite of Johann in that he is too self sacrificing and often does not take into account that people are just as distressed about him being in danger as he is about others being so.
