I defy anyone to watch Ed's first kiss with Stede and then his descent into Kraken and say, "oh, yeah, he's always one step away from becoming that."
He is broken by losing the person who made him feel happy and wanted and like maybe a better life was possible for him, and then shattered by hate barely disguised as love. The only way he knows to defend himself is by putting all the pieces back together and sealing them up into Blackbeard. And then that doesn't work because in the center of it is his love for Stede, which he can't rip out, and his absolute belief that he was never worthy of being loved by Stede and that this one fine thing that he longed for could never be his.
It's tragic. It's why Stede saying "I love everything about you" helps Ed to put himself back together again. Stede sees all those pieces and he doesn't want to discard a single one because they all make up Ed.

*Baraka then fully lets Y/N’s words sink in*
Y/N:
