Who ever this guy is he just changed the way i think about Tucker Hello again, and he does show a lot of the signs. He is an outward joker, clowns around acts impulsively and hides behind being overly sexual and random to deflext futher questioning. But as the last few seasons on Chorus showed us, there is a lot going on in the background with him, he's hard on himself to the point where it becomes unhealthy and he doesn't seem to mind taking a beating that could kill him (possibly his way of cutting? Sorry this one is grasping at straws, the next part has more meat to it). Although a lot of his story is played off for comedy, most comedy comes from pain. The funniest people are usually the more depressed ones, (google comedian+depression, its not concrete evidence but its there, Robin Williams was funny in his manic stages, covering up and deflecing his alcoholism and Bi-Polar disorder, Gabriel Iglesias same thing but with his weight, when bad stuff happens to you, you get sad, when bad stuff happens to others and is told in the right context, you laugh.) As such, Tucker strikes me as a smarter guy for the BGC and for him to be cracking jokes so often despite his situation, his utter lack of motivation (kid I used to play football with was clinically depressed, he needed pills and to be actually dragged 5 yards before he had enough motivation to participate), the sheer amount of fear and self-loathing shown in later seasons and his near appetite for self-destruction appear to show a complex and more depressed character than most would see.

(Tell me if I screwed up anywhere) Also this could be a more concrete reason as to why in season 10, Tucker was the first to leave after Epsilons rant. Church was the closest friend Tucker had and this outburst helped solidify his own insecurities about trust. He was also more concerned with others life rather than his own many times in the series such as his willingness to rescue his comrades even when it seemed impossible. This could be his outward attempt at suicide.
