Typical cognitive dissonance playout. Know you aren't perfect, don't want to say you aren't perfect because you care more about what someone else thinks. Post on the Internet asking how to resolve dissonance. Get a bunch of answer saying find a new job. Continue to try to downplay your fears. Rinse and repeat. Frankly, what this guy needs to do is to stop being afraid of what others think. Especially others who are clearly exploiting the guy's tendency to cater to others feelings. That may or may not involve finding a new job and/or boss, but if he doesn't fix himself, he'll just repeat it all over again. I'm making blaming statements here, but I'm tired of narcissists fucking things up for the rest of us.
