He/she started acting in a hostile way, a behavior typical of...
...those who are insecure and socially intolerant.
This is a possibility
You may also use "edgy" instead of intolerant, and you may also omit socially.

Invece io suggerirei forse la seguente fraseologia:
"S/he adopted a hostile posture, typical of people who are insecure and socially indifferent (oppure 'apathetic')."
Io non ci userei una traduzione in "intolerant," perché l'aggettivo "indifferent" mi significa che una persona non si occupa di qualcun altro o di qualcosa affatto, in un senso o l'altro, anziché essa ne è intollerante..
Buon lavoro!

s/he adopted a hostile attitude, typical of insecure and socially intolerant people
Un'altra proposta. Cmq opterei per intolerant perché rende l'idea di qualcuno che "mal sopporta" qualcosa, che è poi il senso di insofferente.
