A sentinel could spend most of their early years without a guide. By their mid-thirties if a sentinel had yet to form a bond with a guide their senses would start to lose focus and precision until they became overwhelmed and went insane.
Tony was in his forties and the bond he had was a thin string that could be snapped with just one word, and it was the only reason why Tony wasn’t locked up in an asylum for sentinels.
Even with his bond though, Tony was deteriorating, unable to control his senses and becoming overprotective of his teammates.
If he didn't increase the strength of his current bond or find a new guide who he could bond better with then he would be locked up for life.
Too bad Starks have a history of having trouble bonding, and Tony's already tried every technique to strengthen his bond with his guide.
Oh, and let's not forget his guide was none other than Mr. Perfect himself: Steve Rogers.
So really? Tony was screwed unless those bonding techniques started working, because who the hell else could bond with him and do it better than Mr. Perfect?

Pepper and Tony sat on the floor of Tony’s bedroom, pamphlets scattered around them like some kind of glossy paper orgy. Titles like Empathy and You: A Guide for Guides and You’re a Sentinel! How to Navigate Your New Sensory Input and What Will You Do When YOU Zone? looked up from the carpet.
“I still can’t believe they’re testing you so young, no one gets tested before they’re twenty-one,” said Pepper with a worried frown as she picked up another pamphlet. “Isn’t it supposed to be dangerous if you get tested this early in adolescence?”
Tony shrugged.
“I guess if I develop a brain tumor after today, at least the research will have one more case study.”
