Reads hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign remarks or events. 5. Persistently bears grudges (i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights). 6. Perceives attacks on their character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack. 7.
