Paradoxical? Ambiguous? I agree. And that's why some of these heroes even have identity problems themselves.
Yes, 'social' and 'self protection' are pretty much the same thing for him. Even now in Torchwood. He doesn't have to worry about his life now, but he has to worry a lot more about his secrets. And he went to war when he was a boy. His last teenage years or first twenties years got to be very violent. After the death of his friend, he had no one to trust, and only himself to blame. No wonder his self-defence switch is always fully on. All this reminds me how happy it is to see him and everyone else act all silly like some kids in 'Boomtown'...
