The displacement is seeing/treating one person or a few as causing all the distress, all anxiety, associated with rejection, based on some criticism of one's behaviour.
The underlying delusion(s) are not just based on something, but based on a truth (like all delusions, I believe): that one's behaviour is very much one, interdependent, necessary, limited set of (complex) behaviours that reflects the core of one's being, far more so than is the case for most people.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
