Conflict/Danger: Brave but passive; peace-maker, mediator; seeks non-violent resolutions, but will not shy away from danger, even if he is likely not going to be successful.

Stress: Unhealthy coping. Resorts to burying himself in work and drinking coffee to keep himself going.
Peer pressure: Cracks fairly easily under social pressure unless its something against his moral compass, which he will refuse but avoid confrontation.
Guilt: Terribly. He tends to take responsibility for things that he has no control over, or couldn't do better than anyone else. Essentially has a guilt complex.
Being wrong: Very well. Unless it's something he was very confident in, he presumes he's probably wrong.
Being criticized: Very well, even when its not constructive.
Being insulted (superficially: name calling, etc): He's very passive, so he will first ask for them to stop, then to be left alone. He rarely retaliates and will usually retreat if it continues.

Praise: Humble, shy / awkward. Self-depreciates and downplays compliments often.
Being loved: The best feeling in the world to him.
Being hated: Something he doesn't understand, although it hurts him all the same. Will usually do everything in his power to change it.
Humiliation: Quietly. He withdraws into his 'shell' like a turtle and removes himself.
