His planet was destroyed, which forced him to grow rapidly. This is a very different Spock who had to embrace his human side fairly quickly, as he no longer had the Vulcan to fall back on. His relationship with Kirk was fast tracked, along with his relationship with Uhura, made him more human and emotionally volatile
This is exactly the reason why I don’t like the fact that they used the same characters in the Kelvin timeline but gave them totally different personalities. Why not just use different characters?
(I know, the answer is that the producers knew how to get butts in movie theater seats and maximize their profits.)

Because it wouldn’t be a proper cash grab if they didn’t re-use as many recognizable names as possible.
