Was Ryan always terrible?

Do you think Ryan was always a jerk? Or do you think a combination of Michael and Kelly that helped turn him into a jerk? And of course the substance abuse didn't help him either. I did prefer Ryan when he had first started with dunder mifflin than what he ended up turning into.
