Message: <blockquote data-quote="BlackMoria" data-source="post: 1804113" data-attributes="member: 424">Sounds like the individual in question as some emotional or self esteem issues.  His breaking into tears and leaving is a reaction to his perception that if someone says something negative about something his character has done, or if his ideas are ignored or if his character doesn't get his way - that that is a rejection of him as a person.  And his only way to deal with that rejection is to leave with as much emotional drama as possible (an attempt to get people to feel sorry for him) and then write emails (another way to try to get sympathy from others).Unfortuately, if this is the case, then there is not alot that your group can do to help.  If you treat him with kid gloves to avoid the conflict, then your group compromises their fun as everyone has to try to walk on eggshells when dealing with the guy.  Nor it is fun for the group for this person to keep leaving whenever he feels his self esteem has taken a blow.Ultimately, he was to work it through, either with or without counselling.  Sorry that I don't have any easy answer as to what to do with this individual in the meantime.</blockquote>
