Characteristics

Defensive people often believe they are being criticized or attacked, and they seek to defend their behavior unnecessarily. Example: My coworker got defensive when I asked her for clarification of her work on the project. I can't talk to her about anything because she gets so defensive.

Pushy people force questions or opinions on you relentlessly. Example: He's so pushy. He won't stop talking about his point of view until everyone agrees with him.

Evasive people hide information to protect themselves or others. Example: My boyfriend gets evasive when I ask him about his past girlfriends.

Overbearing people will often give you orders because of their own sense of superiority. Example: My older brother is overbearing, always giving me orders even though we're both adults.
