I just think Opie is a stupid douche which makes it easy to throw a list of negative qualities up and just tick off all the boxes. I've thought autism, asperger's, sociopathy, borderline personality disorder, all of that shit. But he's just a stupid asshole.
Once you realize he's got a 95 IQ coupled with no upside and a bunch of negatives, he makes sense.
I guess it would be more fun and exotic to pin some mental disorder on him, maybe? I don't think its true, however.
He almost definitely has borderline. definitely not a sociopath. Sociopaths are almost always clever, charming and you'll never really grasp what they're thinking or what little they're feeling. Opie is hypersensitive and transparent emotionally... despite his embarrassing attempts to hide it. He let's his emotions out like a fat housewife.
Opie is obviously insecure though. That's why he always wears that front and pretends to be everything he isn't. An actual psychopath would be genuinely confident in their own abilities and not feel like they have to fake it.

I'm way too awesome to be a psychopath.
I could have been a model.

"expects to be recognized as superior without superior accomplishments"
Isn't that the entire basis of liberal economic thought, like $15/hour minimum wage?

Everybody is going to have a few of those, but someone who is truly strong and hard-working can achieve all of them.
