This character is harsh and mean. He's deliberately abrasive and cruel. It's all a [[BeneathTheMask facade]] though. In truth he's just depressed and fearful, trying to intimidate people into leaving him alone. He's like a hedgehog, bristling with spikes in order to protect himself. Intimacy scares him. Perhaps because he's been hurt before?
This is a common method of creating a JerkassWoobie. He's introduced as a jerk that the audience hates, only for character development to reveal that really he's just scared of getting close to anyone. Sometimes will have elements of AllGirlsWantBadBoys.
Often overlaps with the BrokenBird who has similar feelings of depression, isolation, and fear of social interaction due to a DarkAndTroubledPast. Although a BrokenBird could be passive, while this character is proactive about driving people away. He might even cultivate and revel in his {{jerkass}} reputation. If his hidden persona is discovered he might react with DontYouDarePityMe.
Compare with {{Tsundere}} and JerkWithAHeartOfGold, where a character can use a harsh and abrasive personality to conceal a sweet or loving side.
In RealLife, frequent swings between angry and agressive reactions and anxious/depressive ones is a hallmark of Borderline Personality Disorder.
----
!!Examples:
* Asuka Langley, from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. Her BrokenBird past, for example [[spoiler: her mother Kyouko going insane and treating a doll as Asuka in place of the real deal]] leads her to be extremely rude to most people...well, except Kaji and Hikari. However, when left to herself Asuka shows that she has almost no self-esteem and struggles to overcome it.
* Natsume, from ''Manga/HidamariSketch''. Her [[spoiler: [[LesYay feelings towards Sae]]]] cause her to overreact and act rude towards her before stomping away. One of the chapters (the only one to not be in 4koma style) helps explain the reason for her attitude. Sae also acts this way, but only when she deals with her younger sister.
* Ririchiyo Shirakiin, from ''Manga/InuXBokuSS''. [[spoiler: Being virtually ignored by her family in favor of her sister and the bullying she went through as a kid because she's rich]] leads her to be rather unsociable at first. This facade lasts only about five minutes, for Ririchiyo either walks away to sulk somewhere or [[spoiler: actually opens up to you and shows her SpoiledSweet side]]. She's also the TropeNamer, as the term was coined {{In-Universe}} by Nobara Yukinokouji to describe Ririchiyo.
* Shizune Hakamichi from ''KatawaShoujo'' turns out to be this, and it's hinted that it's in part to compensate for her deafness, and because she's actually extremely lonely and frustrated over her inability to keep friends.
* Taiga Aisaka, from ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'', a deconstruction of {{tsundere}}. Also known as the "Palmtop Tiger" because of her fierce Tsun-ness. [[spoiler: Moved into an apartment when her parents got divorced, because she could not get along with her mother and stepfather. Her father also makes promises that he has no intention to keep.]] As the series goes on, she becomes emotionally stronger and Ryuji and others help her stand on her own again, [[spoiler: culminating with both a TrueLovesKiss with Ryuuji and her decision to come back home, so she can mend her broken family life before marrying him.]]
* Victorique, from ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}''. At first [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]] [[spoiler: due to being locked in a dungeon for several years and being forsaken by her family,]] she warms up because of Kujo and [[spoiler: [[EarnYourHappyEnding they become happily married at the end.]]]]
* Nastasya Filippovna from [[Creator/FyodorDostoevsky Dostoevsky's]] ''TheIdiot'' is an example from classic literature. Her public persona is that of a proud, arrogant FemmeFatale, but in reality she takes on these characteristics to hide the pain and shame she feels about the abuse she suffered in her past. Interestingly enough, she is in a LoveTriangle with the more traditional {{Tsundere}} Aglaya Yepanchin for the favor of the [[IncorruptiblePurePureness saintly Prince Myshkin]], and [[spoiler: Myshkin's inability to choose between helping to overcome the problems of a 'shun' and returning the love of a 'dere' leads to his tragic downfall.]]
** Polina Alexandrovna from Dostoevsky's novella ''TheGambler'' has shades of this as well. Given Dosteovsky's interest in psychology and his tragic RealLife affair with the very {{Tsunshun}} Apollinaria Suslova, it is entirely possible [[AuthorAppeal that there is a reason for his use of this trope]].
* Vriska from {{Homestuck}} is hiding a lot of angst under that 'Bluh Bluh Huge Bitch' attitude. She only shows this to John.
* Accelerator, from ''Anime/ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'' and ''Manga/ToAruKagakuNoRailgun''. [[spoiler: Being experimented on, forcing people away and being attacked on a constant basis]] because of his ability makes him more unbalanced than depressed, but he still uses his abrasive attitude to try to distance himself from others. Sometimes he acts more like a standard {{Tsundere}}, others he acts like a {{Tsunshun}}.
* Kyo Sohma, from ''Main/FruitsBasket''. [[spoiler: being the black sheep (cat) of the Zodiac]] has put immense pressure on his shoulders, which he covers up with his attitude. He gets over much of his negativity as the series goes on, mostly due to Tohru.
* In ''SaintBeast'', Shiva's got all of the tsun which covers up his fears of inferiority and frustration at not getting what he wants. Kira also counts to a degree with the issue being FantasticRacism, but his BigBrotherInstinct reveals his dere side more frequently.
* Jack Nicholson's character in AsGoodAsItGets
