Is often insecure about their status and will lash out to anyone that remotely seems to threaten his/her actions. Often employs a psychological unconscious defence mechanism called displacement, which "is an unconscious defence mechanism whereby the mind substitutes either a new aim or a new object for goals felt in their original form to be dangerous or unacceptable".
