Secrets: He enjoys cross-dressing occasionally, to bring back good memories; due to the combined effects of Mako poisoning and the influence of Jenova's cells in his body, Kuraudo unknowingly held a fake persona created by the Jenova cells mixing his memories of Zack's personality with the cocky and selfish attitude he believed a SOLDIER 1st Class would have*. After restoring his true personality, Kuraudo showed genuine concern for the Planet's fate, a sharp contrast to his persona at the start where he claimed he did not care and only agreed to help AVALANCHE for the right price*. The true Kuraudo is open-minded and cares about the bond he forged with his friends. Because he cared and did not want his friends to worry about him, when he is infected Geostigma due to his Jenova cells, Kuraudo fell into a cycle of guilt and depression, and so avoided calls from his friends*.

** From Psych Central (http://psychcentral.com/disorders/avoidant-personality-disorder-symptoms/)
People with avoidant personality disorder experience long-standing feelings of inadequacy and are extremely sensitive to what others think about them. These feelings of inadequacy leads to the person to be socially inhibited and feel socially inept. Because of these feelings of inadequacy and inhibition, the person with avoidant personality disorder will seek to avoid work, school and any activities that involve socializing or interacting with others.
Individuals with Avoidant Personality Disorder often vigilantly appraise the movements and expressions of those with whom they come into contact. Their fearful and tense demeanor may elicit ridicule from others, which in turn confirms their self-doubts. They are very anxious about the possibility that they will react to criticism with blushing or crying. They are described by others as being “shy,” “timid,” “lonely,” and “isolated.”
