1. Not so in my family of four children.

The pickiest eater - would not eat vegetables or eggs- was/is the "all-boy" type, interested in sports, and a good student.
To this day as a middle-aged adult he still eats few veggies and no eggs, but seems to get along in society fairly well.
I will admit that he has perfectionist tendencies, especially re his own performance. He has also suffered some depression - not clinical- in the past.

His father also ate no eggs, though nothing was made of it in the household.
Father was also something of a perfectionist, and suffered secondary depression in his last illness - more a function of an organic brain disease than of emotional problems.
