In fact, Napoleon Bonaparte was not short. He was even slightly taller than average for his time - and the legend that he tried to compensate for his lack of height with conquests was actually invented by his enemies, as well as by witnesses who regularly saw him against the backdrop of several 6-foot tall generals. So, the emperor was not trying to overcompensate at all.
Which, however, cannot be said about other people . Unfortunately, we can literally encounter folks at every step whose entire appearance or actions actually scream overcompensating. So today’s selection of netizens’ opinions really helps to recognize such people and also gives some ideas as to how to deal with them.

The ultra-conservative, hyper aggressive “patriot” small town folks who make their entire personality viciously hating anyone and anything that doesn’t directly involve their hometown and bragging about how badly they wish someone would commit some tiny infraction around them so they can shoot them dead to show how badass and brave they are… basically anyone who likes that song “try that in a small town” .

MAGA supporters who make it their whole personality. To me it says that their life is completely unremarkable and insignificant and they want to latch onto something popular so they can feel important, no matter how stupid or destructive the thing is. .

Being overly petty, sarcastic, or mean to people. it takes so much more confidence and courage to be nice and positive to people. i believe overly mean ppl are overcompensating for their insecurities.

The grills on pickup trucks the last 10 or so years. They’ve gone from steal bumper and grill to big bulbous plastic c**k-sleeve for a truck. It’s ridiculous.

People who demand to be the center of attention / life of the party. Their self-worth is tied to being liked by everyone so their whole personality is “look at me”, for better or worse. I think they have a poor self image and seek external validation because they’re insecure about who they are.
