Lozza's self-sabotaging behaviour reminds me a bit of a friend/bandmate of mine from teenage years. I think he disliked himself so much he subconsciously didn't think he deserved to be happy, so he'd start stupid arguments with mates and girlfriends, or find ways of getting himself sacked from all his jobs, thus confirming his belief that "Nobody likes or cares about me". At his lowest point, he once told me that he'd been exchanging texts with an ex-girlfriend who he'd remained on friendly terms with. After telling her about his depression, she responded "I hope you find the happiness you deserve" which I thought was a nice, supportive thing to say. But my friend didn't see it like that - he said to me "Is she saying I don't deserve to be happy, then???" I spent hours trying to convince him that's probably not what she meant at all, and advising him to take her sentiments as read, particularly considering she didn't sound like the malicious type from what he'd told me about her. Also that if she didn't wish him well, she wouldn't be in touch with him, but that was when I realised just how extreme his self loathing was! I felt sorry for him but also realised he could twist just about anything into something negative and there's only so much you can counsel someone who's so gifted at thinking the worst of people.
Rimmer in Red Dwarf is similar when they play the virtual reality game "Better Than Life" which is based on the player's wildest fantasies, and of course it gets ruined by Rimmer's rancid imagination of all the bad things he subconsciously expects to happen to him!
I knew someone like that and the dividing line between such self-loathing and narcissism is rice-paper thin. It's very easy to fall into manipulation on their part - an eagerness to be "seen" to be unpopular and unlucky, because it's all about their character, their personality, their demands. People who press self-destruct buttons on their own lives can be diagnosed on both sides of the argument - either helplessly depressed and in need of support, or helplessly manipulative and emotionally stunted.
Fox must be aware of his tendency to press self-destruct for attention seeking means, for the constant rush of showing people how his best efforts to succeed are always thwarted by others even when his hand prints are on the big red button.
