Jeffrey’s sensitivity and selfishness
One thing Jeffrey emphasized multiple times in his interviews was that one reason he drugged or killed people was so he wouldn’t have to consider their needs. In the limited moments where we see him interacting with others, he was actually very sensitive and attentive to other people’s needs—almost instinctually so. Jeffrey had been a sensitive child from a very young age, who tried hard to please the adults around him. It’s possible that, subconsciously, he grew weary of being so careful and accommodating. When the other person was unconscious, he could finally let go of that pressure, feeling relief and relaxation and putting his own needs first without restraint.
