This is pretty much quintessential founder behavior. I have had my run-ins with people like this, and the relationship is usually short lived. I do not drink the kool-aid, and question pretty much everything. These types of personalities are like oil and water and do not mix. You almost need a third person to act as a emulsifier to allow the oil&water to mix without separating.

An emulsifier role is a great way to put it. In basketball, that's the glue guy.

Yeah this explains why most of my interviews with startups haven't gone well. I've even had friends ask me to do PoC work for them for equity, and they still get all bent out of shape when I'm not instantly smitten by their one-sentence pitch, and instead ask for more details about their business plan.

If I thought I had a great idea, I would want people to try to poke holes in it. Yet founders often universally seem to be the incredibly sensitive and insecure about their idea.
