This is one of his go-to deflections now. It's always some variation of "people see a part of your life and then assume everything about it." The obvious response is "yes, retard, that's human nature." Perception is reality, especially when there's an obvious on-screen character change. But he has this idea that it's inevitably going to happen and there's nothing he can do to change it.
That's 100% not the case. If people are starting to doubt your own words, that is a personal failure. When you have a large audience, you have a social contract where people trust you and you maintain that trust by being candid and honest. When you fail to keep up your end of the contract, you lose that trust, and people no longer believe what you have to say. When people doubt you when you lie to their fucking faces about even something as simple as "being in the best shape of [your] life", that is a reflection of your own failure in maintaining trust with your audience. I can't tell if he's just rationalising and deflecting or he really is that fucking stupid that he doesn't understand this; for someone who likes to chastise others for not getting social interactions, he can't understand one of the most basic aspects of it.
