He's so drunk all the time he just automatically assumes everyone thinks and acts like him.
The drinking exacerbates things, but the underlying depressive disorder is the main culprit here. Ralph's self-esteem is so fucking low--especially since Nora divorced him--that the alcohol makes things worse. hence when someone says anything non-positive he jumps into overdrive and goes after them. He used to do that, too, but previously he could "patch" things up with that person right quick and they could pretend it never happened until the next blowup by Ralph. Now, people are just tired of him acting like a fucktard and he's not getting the leeway he once had. You'd think that this would make him re-examine himself, but again, depressive disorder and alcohol, so everyone else is the problem.
