Hi David and all,
I am a new member. I am posting to ask a question if I could.
I am wondering if there is a specific term for when people make mountains out of mole hills so to speak. I have seen alcoholics and drug users get themselves into a state of uproar and also bullies will do much the same thing I believe sometimes to justify what they are doing to someone.
For eg, A male grabs a female who recently had surgery and hurt her over her surgical wound. The female slapped the male as a response to pain. The male now tells everyone he was assaulted and this female is dangerous.
Is there a specific term or terms for this type of response from the male? I can see that the male has lost perspective and is unable to view this incident as it was, an accident both on his part and the physiological pain response from the female.
Thanks to anyone who has an answer
Cindy
