During [[spoiler: Celestia's hanging]], Jewelius appeals to this by arguing that she'll only invite more heartbreak by letting them back in her life.

* ComicBook/CarolDanvers from ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires''. Due to the level of trauma suffered, coupled with a gradual power loss, Carol becomes angrier, more mean-spirited and more unpleasant until a talk with her mother makes her realize that she is just making things worse for herself.

* Snotlout in ''oh so many'' [[WesternAnimation/HowToTRainYourDragon How To Train Your Dragon]] fanfictions. Likely because they mix his portrayal from the books with one from the movie/show (many also add book characters such as Camicazi, Thuggory etc.). Alvin the Treacherous also gets hit with that, and for same reason, though for a much lesser extent.

* [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/346369/chrono-reflect Chrono Reflect]] has Standard Fluttershy. This is justified, though: After her best friend and sworn protector Rarity dies, she's left with no one to save her from her bullies. This forces her to stand up to her bullies, but she lets her drive to never be weak again take things to far and she ends up being the biggest bully of Canterlot High herself. Fortunately Forest Fluttershy forces her to [[TookALevelInKindness take a level in kindness]] after beating her, and she starts being nice again. [[ReformedButNotTamed ...Somewhat.]]

* This happens in some [[Franchise/HarryPotter Harry/Ginny]] fics, which emphasize Harry and Ginny's relationship, in part, by playing this trope straight with Ron and Hermione, despite the fact that both Ron and Hermione supported Harry/Ginny in canon. Particularly seen in the works of [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1816754/sbmcneil sbmcneil]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2505393/Epeefencer Epeefencer]], to the extent that Ron can sometimes border on RonTheDeathEater, and Hermione could greatly benefit from sensitivity training -- from canon!Ron.

After finding out she got pregnant she was shattered, so her behaviour became very angry, rude and overbearing, especially to Shinji whom she tried to push away as hard as she could precisely because he was the one could get through her.

* Neville becomes more and more of a JerkAssStu as ''FanFic/DumbledoresArmyAndTheYearOfDarkness'' goes on. Mostly this is due to the fact that he starts to see himself as a military leader and begins to expect military discipline from his underlings, while the said underlings still see him as their fellow classmate.
