When someone works their whole life to get a career, but fails whilst their peers succeed, and then ends up in a dead end job, usually contracts what is known as small man syndrome, which is where the complete failure takes out all of their aggression on those around them, who weren't responsible for their failures. The only one whose fault it is is the small man himself. For example, small men often like to try and act hard and smart by insulting people who they have authority over, even when they know nothing about them, and simply get information from a network of micro small men working under them. As soon as they are away from the small man they laugh at how pathetic he is and what a colossal failure he became. Small man syndrome in non-communicable, so don't worry about catching it (unless you area a failure). However, it is incredibly difficult to cure, and most of the time it is taken to the grave. Small men often like to get jobs in the police, security and teaching professions because it allows them to exercise authority on those beneath them without getting any backlash.

The way that unintelligent women perceive assertiveness in males of small stature. When the same women see the exact same behavior in a larger man, they consider it confidence.

When a small, often aggressive natured person cannot accept that being small is without benefits and is a taller man lesser. They often act immaturely and hang around girls to cover themselves from the truth of being scared of other males. The small man often hides deep secrets.
