She isn't content to just be awesome, she needs others to think she is awesome. This is why she lied about being able to do the Rainboom in Season 1, and why she was nearly brought to complete meltdown by the prospect of failure.
No it isn't.
She isn't content just being awesome because she has a massive ego that she likes to feed. She lied about being able to do the Rainboom because she did do it at some point and was deceiving herself into thinking that she could again and she had a breakdown because she knew that she hadn't actually been able to recreate that. So she got incredibly nervous about failing in front of everyone and not being able to live up to her own high expectations of herself. None of this is fueled by some weird fear of being around people. If she had that disorder she would be..... Fluttershy. Not a loud, obnoxious show-off who is constantly drawing attention to herself, being rude, blunt and confrontational with people and trying to get into social situations.
Pinkie Pie is best pony:
Yes, it is.
In cognitive models of social anxiety disorder those with social phobias experience dread over how they will be presented to others. They may feel overly self-conscious, pay high self-attention after the activity, or have high performance standards for themselves.
And no, she would not be Fluttershy if they both had the same disorder because they're completely different characters. Also, I doubt Fluttershy has it, she lacks assertiveness and confidence in public, but this doesn't become 'anxiety' unless she actually has to be the center of attention.
Rainbow Dash on the other hand was brought to tears by the prospect of other ponies finding out she was 'an egghead' something she perceived as a weakness. The only time she's ever openly admitted to having a weakness of any sort in the show was to Scootaloo, and she quickly glossed it over with a remark about how she could totally beat up the headless horse.
Social anxiety disorder is a persistent fear of one or more situations in which the person is exposed to possible scrutiny by others and fears that he or she may do something or act in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing.

That depends on who is writing the Primarch. Their powers/durability can have a pretty wide variance.

Of the big three, Graham McNeill's Primarchs are really powerful. Aaron Dembski-Bowden's are really weak when he wants them to be (Lorgar getting his hand blown to pieces by a bolter lol). Dan Abnett's I am less sure of because he hasn't written them as often, though apparently Guilliman looks like a pussy in Unremembered Empire.
James Swallow also writes pretty powerful Primarchs. Sanguinius was pretty impressive in Fear to Tread.

Yes I'm aware of that, after all 40K generally tends to be inconsistent
Though given how "positive feedback" is utilised in vs debating, yeah the notion on SoB can take a Primarch is lol

So good. So accurate.

Every once in a while I am forced to remember why I love this ****ing fandom.
