This is remarkably well written, and coincides with my own learnings over the last 14 years or so.
I strongly like the "[not g]et comfortable" part. An airplane wing is a good metaphor. The wing is the part carrying most of the aircraft's in flight. It's designed to bend slightly under stress. If the wing's not bending, it means that the plane is on the ground, and is not going where it should be going.
Following the lingo a couple of companies I worked for, I typically generalize what you described as "all or nothing outlook" into "playing to my strengths"; i.e., while there are many people stronger than me at their chosen profiles of work (for example: doing UX design), it might still be up to me to choose a position and a work profile for which I'm one of the most relevant people around.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
