Manipulation, power play, pretense, threat, possessiveness, or feigning of sickness in order to convey that they feel hurt, offended or overlooked. May reject being consoled, which increases their self-pity and may create further alienation in others.

Beech
People in need of Beech may appear haughty and rigid in body posture, in some cases, frequently raised eyebrows can be observed. Faultfinding, criticism and intolerance are predominant traits. The attitude may also be less condescending, more nagging and dissatisfied. 
In the treatment of persecutory delusions or paranoid personality disorders, Beech lessens the tendency to overly criticize others and fit them into a specific image with threatening features.
MIND:
Bach describes the indications for the remedy, “The mind is narrowed in perception, tolerance, and judgement, although one believes oneself to have the right attitude and capacity for assessment. This results in self-deception. The ego raises itself above others with the self-appointed right to assume critical judgement on another’s expression of life. It’s a state of arrogance, an attempt to impress upon others one’s own standards of assessment considered special or perfect.
“Judging others creates superiority and those criticized are held low, condescended against. Oftentimes, one actually does not want them to measure up to one's own perfect style, so that one may continue to consider oneself special. The mind does not want others to move up in standard and it gives more personal satisfaction to keep them in their place.
There is often an underlying sadness, a personal loss of a more perfect reality that is mourned. To have personal perfect standards and finding reality wanting implies a loss, a sense of being let down. In many cases, if grief was not allowed to be fully worked through there may develop a Beech state. The event or the person is criticized or rejected, instead of mourned.
