[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 657219, member: 18284"] Applecori -- Much of what you said definitely resonates with our son. He was so "perfectionistic" by the time he was 7. He was upset that his penmanship wasn't as good as another classmates and went from good cheer to extreme self-doubt in 10 seconds or less. Really. That fast. This trait still dogs him. Over the years, he has come to make excuses or intentionally choose bowing out of activities before he is "found out" as a failure. I think it's what led him to drugs so early.......... He could both "not care" and "have an excuse". Unfortunately, the drug road has brought additional issues to the forefront. I think our son is most prone to these aspects you listed, below. May sound odd, but I think our son vacillates dramatically between the 2 aspects below. Perhaps that's somewhat attributable to his bipolar diagnosis, also. [/QUOTE]
