Black or white. All or nothing. If it doesn't go like you wish, then nothing matters. And certainly not telling what is bothering you but acting out instead.
Yeah, kind of rings the bell.
For mine I have always considered it to be about perfectionism and anxiety because of that, but could also be cognitive, simply not being able to form the idea of middle ground.
And I have to say I kind of can relate. There may have been someone called SuZ good thirty years ago who refused to write even her name onto the exam paper, because there was a question that wasn't covered in material given to us. Very small question mind you, but who wants to get 95 % when one can't get 100 % and can always take 0 %?
