Jim could be just completely out of control due to his substance abuse habits. Stephen Davis in his book "Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend" describes one particular incident at the Whisky-A-Go-Go in 1969 or so.
Jim had come in to see a hit band, but he was zonked out of his mind. He couldn't converse with people, he just kept saying "Get it on. Suck my momma. Right on". He ended up sliding into a booth to sit down with Eric Burdon who was with a girl that worked as a dancer at the Body Shop across the street. When the girl asked Jim about his music, he poured a beer over her head!
Jim was very fortunate at this point not to be punched out by Eric, who had grown up as a street tough in Newcastle, England. With the forbearance of a saint, Eric just reminded Jim that life wasn't all just a stage performance and that it was necessary to behave with some measure of consideration for other people.
Here's a pic of Eric with Jimi Hendrix:
