The person needing this remedy tends to be very frightened and panicky. They can feel all alone and this causes reactions such as excess talking, joking around, foolish behaviour and in extreme situations, sexual behaviour, in order to attract attention to themselves. If that does not work then they can be violent and threatening to others.

They can be jealous or even paranoid people and can have violent outbursts.

Children always think others are being favoured more than they. ‘It’s not fair’. They feel like they are outside of things. They can behave promiscuously with shameless sexuality to cover up their own inadequate feelings of unattractiveness.

Sufferers can be very dependent on others and react badly when they feel ‘let down’. There will always be some form of extreme or unusual behaviour even when the sufferer has some simple acute illness.
