Zander Byrd · Answer 1

The answer is intrinsically motivated.

Kevin prefers to study by himself, for his own sake and purposes. He is not motivated to learn to seek other people's approval - he studies because he enjoys what he's learning and it brings him pleasure. He's not mentally ill - a lot of people do things for their own enjoyment not because it would make people look him in awe.
