> I think his problem is his identity (founder of Loom) suddenly disappeared.

This is spot on. And I think it’s probably the biggest thing he’s going through

However, the money is definitely a big factor as well. Not because of the amount of money, but because of the suddenness that it happened with

In a very short amount of time, he found himself not needing (and realizing also not wanting), to maintain his identity at the time

The money and the suddenness also put him in a situation that is pretty hard to relate to for the vast majority of people

So not only he lost his identity, he also found himself alone (and made it even worse, by pushing people away or ending some relationships)
