Defensive

Defensive is no matter how many fights you try to pick with somebody, you always say you're the one fighting back. You're always David, the other guy is always Goliath, no matter what lead up to the incident.
The girl was defensive, but still expected to be treated as human. When you're defensive, the other guy isn't human, therefore why should you be. Defensive is the belief that you don't deserve to suffer as much as everyone else. Defensive is the assumption that you're the only one being pushed.

Defensive

Someone that always tries to pick on people they are too weak to acknowledge they have negative feelings for/about, so instead of acknowledging their negative feelings, they talk a bunch of shit.
The defensive girl that was always mouthy didn't want people to think she actually hated somebody, since that would contradict her false love/light/hope image, and people would then be able to pick back at her double standards after that, so she always made it look like she meant no harm by what she said.
