It was draining his energy and making him sleepwalk…sleepwebsling…whatever. In the end, it really did seem like he just wanted to get rid of it because it creeped him out though. He didn’t seem to understand or care that it was sentient, he just wanted it gone.

As for making him a hostile jerk, I think it’s funny that the modern depictions of symbiote-influenced Peter just have him acting like regular college student Peter as written by Lee and Romita in the 70s. If there was any period in the comics that made Spider-Man seem like an unreasonable asshole, it wasn’t when he was possessed by an alien, it was when he was a teenager that didn’t know how to handle a social life.
