* FatalFlaw: His struggle to control his emotions (especially anger) and process them properly. People often say he "feels too much, too strongly".strongly", which has been known to push people away who find him overbearing or causes him to make impulsive poor decisions rather than stopping to think. He feels he constantly has to hold himself back (and thus keep people at arm's length) because he's afraid of overwhelming them by being vulnerable.

Added DiffLines:

* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: Jondalar is afraid of the strength of his emotions, so he has trained himself to not get too attached to anyone (in the backstory he had severely injured another young man, Madroman, when Madroman caught Jondalar getting emotionally attached to a woman who it was culturally taboo for him to connect with). This changes once he meets Ayla, forcing him to face and deal with his emotions properly because of his love for her.
