I would have loved to comment this to the comment below this, but no... they have it set so I couldn't so here we go....
For irritation #1 I think it's because he's seen so much growing up from when he lost his parents, in the shelter, when the shelter was attacked making him a sole survivor again, to his work in the academy. He grew up knowing the world, so understanding how people think, act, and predicting is something that came second nature. We've seen a few times he'd had a few things he didn't think of pointed out from a third party stance, which he would take into consideration.
For irritation #2 I believe it's because of all the corruption he saw while growing up. Hunter could have saved him in both scenarios, but not only were they late, but also, as we saw in the second scenario with the shelter, he was being forced to smile for the press after he just survived his second encounter with murder. The first one I'm not sure how long it took, but we know seeing both parents be brutally killed in front of you is going to leave some lasting damage, especially the part where his mother died holding him close to protect him.
If you also take in the info that was dropped, they put the children to work in the shelters, barely paying them if at all for their work. They did not care about life other than their own. Being around so much negativity can make your care about others who have no connection to you rather easily shut off. I can actually understand his side of things. He wants to see the world change, but as long as corruption is still there, then any method you attempt to change the world will come undone by the greed of others. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Another saying would be you could feed a man, or you can teach the man to fish.
Just because he wants change doesn't mean he can make it happen on his own. He'd need others to make the stand as well for the betterment of the entire population. Which, if we think back to the chapter with the 3-headed bird, it was hinting at him to do such. We can see he's making waves, albeit they are small waves at the moment.
But I did want to point out that the daughter did already accept him as her future dad! x3

Now that I said that, I want to toss in my comments. This looks very promising as I can see the characters are growing and changing as we see. MC is slowly opening up, albeit slowly.
