Well I meant more in a narrative sense.



His shit behavior has worked more to his detriment than his benefit. His teachers praise his skill (because he IS skilled) and hard work, but they also aren't afraid to say when he's being ridiculous, and point out where he fails.

Same with his classmates that, also acknowledge his skill, kinda don't like him all that much and aren't afraid to tease him.



He never actually gets what he wants in a satisfying way. Like, despite overpowering Deku in their first fight, he still lost the exercise. Despite winning the sports tournament, everyone knows he only one because Shouto wasn't giving it his all. And his childish temper tantrum afterwards made him get less internship offers despite coming in first. And the internship he picked was basically one long bout of Best Jeanist telling the kid he's a little shit. Not to mention getting kidnapped by villains. Watching his idol lose his powers.

No, he doesn't receive a ton of physical punishment like- say Vegeta. But it's more emotional.
