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 still trying to win the 'longest title' award, L00fah100?
Are you looking for the name of a syndrome?
Insecurity? Chip on shoulder? Small man syndrome?
Vertically challenged?
overcompensation?
Machismo?
oh, and inferiority complex, I suppose
I read that the height of Napoleon is a myth and he was average size.
he was about 5 foot 6, which was about normal. Queen Victoria was 4 foot 11, I think.
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.
