I think that the real reason that Erik acts the way he does is because of his parents. His parents didnt do anything when he spray painted Paul's eyes, so he turned into a syco! He is (in my opinion) mentally ill! He is just a sick person!

Erik acts the way he does in "Tangerine" because he is insecure and seeks attention and validation from his peers. He bullies and manipulates others to feel powerful and important, especially in comparison to his more talented brother, Paul. Erik's behavior is also influenced by his dysfunctional family dynamics and the pressure to live up to his father's expectations as a star football player.
