Marshawn strikes me as a fun-loving guy who feels he got betrayed by the media/fans somewhere along the way, and now chooses to just shut himself off. He enjoyed a warm welcome in Buffalo, up until his hit-and-run incident on a local woman. You began hearing whispers of "he's a thug from Oakland". From then on, his stint in Buffalo was all downhill. Another incident occurred in which he supposedly stole $20 from a cop's wife at a restaurant. Once people in Buffalo saw him as a "thug", he was done with that city. I'm not sure why he's become the same way in Seattle. Maybe it was the DUI incident in the Bay Area. Maybe people saw videos of him getting his grill, and rather than perceive it as him expressing his unique and playful hobby, saw it as him being a low-class thug.
On one hand, I feel he is being a bit immature. On the other hand, I understand why he no longer wishes to open up to others and have his words misconstrued or used against him.
