That's definitely possible, especially when you factor in the fact that he appears to be entirely in the care of Timon and Pumbaa- meaning we don't know where parents are or what happened to them. Still, from the way he acts, I think he's been living a carefree life. I think his personality is less of masking a darker past and more of living a Hakuna Matata sort of life, just like Simba did. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean he didn't have a dark past. Timon and Pumbaa could have just taught him to put his past behind him, like they did with Simba.
