[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP since you also mention perfectionism I would advise you to consider if your so has an anxiety disorder. It's fairly common, and perfectionist tendencies is a strong indicator.

There is nothing at all wrong with being a sensitive child/boy/man, so I'm not trying to say that! Just sharing from my experience with an anxious kid so you can seek the right support if needed.[/quote]

It's hard to untangle. On some level, don't sensitivity and perfectionism/anxiety go hand in hand?  He is a perfectionist partly because he is so sensitive to disappointing others.  But I do think another part of it is bring hard on himself. Maybe that is a separate issue.  I am definitely a perfectionist and for the most part, I think it has helped me in life, but that only works when you also learn nothing is ever perfect but hard work gets you a little better each day.  I see the perfectionist in him but not the patience with himself to practice, so that is what i try to work on with him.  Sorry that was a bit of a rambling. [/quote]
