I get defensive when someone else is waiting to get defensive with me. When they are sitting there waiting for each word that comes out of my mouth so that they can twist it and get mad at me. I hate it!!

I am never on the defensive, my motto being "offense is the best defense." When I am cornered, I fight back and turn the table. I become aggressive, drawing on an armada of bellicous arguments.

When people talk about my family, particularly if they insult my fiance, I have an aunt who took an instant dislike to my partner, I think it's because he's wealthy and she's a typical chav, but I don't talk to her unless I really have to now because she is so rude to him!

I resent your implication, what are you trying to say?
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to get defensive.

People attacking my family - it's one thing to disagree or not like someone, but it's another to run them down
