Re. perfectionism/idealism & feelings of inadequacy -- have you come across anything about scrupulosity in religion, particularly Catholicism (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13640a.htm) (at least, that's the context I know it in; I'm sure it emerges in other faith traditions as well, or anywhere where the ideals are really high)?
