Similar to napoleon syndrome but not because of size but because they've felt bullied, insecure, small so may do dangerous things and act a certain way to reaffirm their identity and masculinity to others

Does anyone know the name of it?

Are you looking for the name of a syndrome?

[jno]

oh, and inferiority complex, I suppose

[beso]

I read that the height of Napoleon is a myth and he was average size.

[jno]

he was about 5 foot 6, which was about normal. Queen Victoria was 4 foot 11, I think.

[jno]

having said that - it seems the Duke of Wellington was about 5 foot 10, which would have been tall.

Snag ?

Thank you all but most of all jno as it was "Inferiority complex" that was at the back of my mind and the tip of my tongue.
