According to Carl Jung, the persona represents the different social masks that people wear among various groups and situations. Paul's behavior of being overly concerned with how he appears to others and wearing a carefully chosen public "face" in every situation indicates an obsession with his persona, rather than dealing with animus and anima, creating a false archetype, or overcompensating for a sense of inferiority.
