"Bellamy had the same experience as everyone else who wasn't part of Farm Station […]"

"Everyone else who wasn't from Farm Station", I’m thinking that you’re talking about the Sky People who came down at the same time that Kane and Abby did and the Delinquents? Ok, you cannot possibly compare the experience that Bellamy and the other non-Delinquents have. Those Sky People did not experience the fear and did not see many of their friends killed right in front of their eyes. In S1, the Delinquents were at war with the Grounders. They were ready to kill them. And no one other than the Delinquents, Bellamy and Raven can know what that felt like.

So there are only the Delinquents left to compare Bellamy to. Let’s look at S2, mainly the second half of S2. We, the viewers, grew fond of the Grounders through their interactions with the Sky People. Clarke bonded with Anya and Lexa; Kane and Octavia did the same with Indra and Nyko. And where was Bellamy when our characters were spending time with the Grounders? He was NOT there. Bellamy didn’t interact much with Indra and Lexa. The only Grounder (beside Lincoln) he actually thought he could trust was Echo and guess what? She betrayed him like all of the Grounders who made a deal with the Sky People to take down Mount Weather. We, the viewers, have seen the good Grounders and love them. But Bellamy did not experience that.

"Not to mention his sister and practical brother-in-law were both Trikru […]"

Octavia identifies herself as Trikru and wants to run off to join the Grounders. Lincoln has one foot in Skraikru since the beginning. There is no doubt that Bellamy loves and cares about them both. But he probably cannot trust their opinions on the topic because they are somewhat biased in his mind.

"[…] he was STANDING RIGHT THERE in the throne room when Clarke joined them to the Coalition. He knew better. He just got upset that Clarke made a decision without him after "running away" so he had to flex his muscles and show Clarke who was really in charge of the Skaikru: Bellamy, not her."

Like I said before, Bellamy and Clarke knew the Grounders DIFFERENTLY. Clarke was basically hooking up with the leader while Bellamy only knows betrayal when it comes to the Grounders. Bellamy was afraid because every time he trusted the Grounders, he was let down. He didn’t get "upset" because Clarke made a decision without him, he’s upset because his co-leader and one of the persons he trusts most in his life chose to stay with the Grounders. Clarke and Bellamy are co-leaders, Bellamy looks up to Clarke, there’s nothing about "proving who is in charge" in this story.
