It is also difficult for him to receive warmth, affection or appreciation, for he often feels that he does not really deserve it or that "they do not really mean it". Townshend may therefore come across as rather cool and aloof - much more so than he feels.

A deeply ingrained critical attitude often makes Pete difficult to live with. Pete Townshend needs to learn to be gentler and less of a perfectionist with others and with himself.

His tastes and natural inclinations run toward the extravagant and luxurious. Whether or not Pete Townshend possesses the resources to satisfy these desires or the ambition to provide these things for himself, he wants a life with plenty, ease, and comfort.
