Probably what happened is his last student fell in love with him and when he rejected her advances, she committed suicide, and so he decided to be detached from everyone and everything, choosing to "hate" them so they don't become close to him and he can't get hurt again. It's not so much being "edgy" as it is a coping mechanism to prevent such a traumatic situation from occurring again. His indifference is a cover so that he doesn't let himself be weakened and that others won't be hurt by his faults. In that sense, I actually think this is a very well-written character and that its a very natural reaction that he, to reference Pink Floyd, "builds a wall." It's cognitive dissonance to separate himself from everyone around him so he can't cause harm.
