Joe Pesci Syndrome

Similar to Napoleon Complex, the Joe Pesci syndrome is a result of appearing vulnerable, (ie. Short, scrawny, Nerdy) in a hostile environment, and being hyper violent as compensation. People with Joe Pesci syndrome do not attack to hurt, they attack to show everyone else, why not to provoke them. Someone with JPS, is not above fighting dirty, using weapons , or having others come and intimidate people for them just to prove a point. JPS rarely start issues, but they are inclined to end them.

“Dude, I would not keep fucking with Troy. He might be small, but he choked out Cory on the bus, on some Joe Pesci Syndrome shit.”

“I know I freaked out at the bar, but you know what it’s like being small, I got Joe Pesci syndrome.”
