I’m going to post a description here (excluding a few points to make it a bit less easy) that seems to capture many people I see on the web. Can you guess what I’m describing? For the first part, you need only three traits (again, remembering that I’ve deleted two points (as well as one word in one of the points I’ve kept), and for the second part you need at least four:
(a) excessive sensitiveness to setbacks and rebuffs;
(b) tendency to bear grudges persistently, i.e. refusal to forgive insults and injuries or slights;
(c) pervasive tendency to distort experience by misconstruing the neutral or friendly actions of others as hostile or contemptuous;
(d) a combative and tenacious sense of personal rights out of keeping with the actual situation;
(f) tendency to experience excessive self-importance, manifest in a persistent self-referential attitude;
And now for some more info, once again edited, but I think some points are still pretty obvious (so perhaps think about the previous hints first to see if you can arrive at the “disorder”

- is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used maliciously against him or her
- persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights
- perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack
