There is something un-human about him if you think about how he survived through the centuries never aging due to his powers keeping his appearance intact. I think immortality is something most people would like, but it's also a curse to remain ageless forever while watching everyone around you age, start families and die. The immortality factor likely changed his perspective on what it means to be human, or even just a man with feelings and emotions. He might've tried to block himself off from all those things because he didn't like what he became as the Dark One.
