I totally identify with you, Witti. I actually left home young and missed most of high school, but I read constantly, taught myself math, aced the SATs (a requirement for most colleges in the US) worked constantly, became an academic and still worked constantly. Recently, I went back to school to study a new subject and if I get anything less than an A on an exam, I freak out. I'm not a perfectionist in other things, but with classes, academia, grades, I have to excel or I beat myself up. Therapy has helped me a little with this. Mostly what therapy has done though, is help me be less socially inept.
