Neurotic thinks that everything, which they perceive as против шерсти is threat to their entire existence, manipulating people around them into walking on eggshells.

Ex. Neurotic husband buys a pack of sour cream. During dinner, mother in law makes a comment that the sour cream, which husband bought couple of weeks ago was better. Husband treats this comment as an attack, as if he manufactured that "bad" sour cream, and throws a tantrum.
