[Archie Comics] Why does Reggie Mantle hang out with Archie, Jughead and other people he so clearly dislikes?
gpt
He's lonely. Reggie is one of those people that, on paper, has everything going for him. However, for a variety of reasons, there's an empty hole inside of him. He *knows* that he shouldn't feel the way he does, he *knows* that he's smarter/richer/handsomer than Archie, and yet Archie's *happy* and he isn't. 

Reggie doesn't understand this internal dynamic, so he hides this emotional wound by cloaking it in a sense of self-superiority and constantly redirecting attention away from it. In other words, he's sad and doesn't understand why, so he acts like dick while studying the people he's envious of.
