Of course, for thousands of years, his pro-humanity mindset has been at odds with the attitude of the other Olympians. He spent almost five millennia layering mask upon mask to live up to the expectations of his family (read: Zeus). There is an understanding among the gods that they are to be distant and detached from the mortals, and Apollo spent millennia trying to maintain that same detachment. He often acted airheaded, arrogant and self-centered, and as he became more and more detached from humanity, that arrogance became more and more ingrained.
However, as of recent events (spending six months as a mortal on a deadly quest) Apollo's had those masks violently torn away, leaving him exposed and vulnerable for the first time in millennia. He's reconnected with his ancient love of humanity, and has resolved to reach out and help them more directly, Zeus' decrees be damned. Apollo helps where he can, and when he can't, he aims to inspire the people around him the way he inspires works of art.
Apollo feels all of his emotions intensely. When he loves, he loves with all of his heart; When he's sad, the misery is agonizing. He is unapologetically dramatic and often expresses what he's feeling through song and poetry. He's been able to reel this in as of late, and while he hasn't necessarily stopped feeling as hard as he does, he can now prioritize better and stay more focused on the tasks at hand.
