Oh man, I have a lot of headcanon for Mozzie, which piece to pick?
I think Mozzie is faking some of his more extreme quirks. Don't get me wrong, I think he's naturally an anxious oddball, but I think he realized a long time ago that people underestimate him when he plays up the oddness, and that it makes people forget that he's a formidable intelligence, supremely gifted at separating them from their valuables, or anything else he wants to possess for himself. This is where some of his more out there conspiracy theories come from, and also where his highly variable food intolerances come from. Or maybe, I just don't like what the writers have been doing with a portrayal of part of my illness, but I like to think he plays up the hypochondria. I also think he taught this trick to Neal, who plays up the flirting, carefree, pretty boy persona instead.
