I used to be this kid. I finished undergrad when I was twenty and had I minmaxed for age like he did I would've been sixteen or even younger. I can't overstate how much it fucked me up socially. Trust me that it's not a life you want.
I'd bet money that he has some of the same mental health issues I've had to struggle with, including but not limited to having a social identity that's defined for you before you're old enough to understand what a social identity is. We assign people's genders at birth and don't think anything of it. Everything about me was assigned before I was old enough to choose for myself, and the moment I outgrew and stepped out of that image I was basically disowned.
