- Likes to argue and debate everything
- Wants to avoid taking responsibility
- Refuses to admit mistakes
- Criticizes and blames everyone else
- Believes life must be fair and equal with everyone all the time

- Is easily hurt, victimized, and takes everything personally
- Covers up hurt with anger
- Plays victim and whines about the delicious agony of life
