The answer is Reaction Formation. It is a behavior of a person who hides his feelings and exact different way. It is a defensive process (defense mechanism) in which emotions and urges which are anxiety-producing or perceived to be unacceptable are mastered by exaggeration (hypertrophy) of the directly contrasting tendency.
