Paranoid Personality Disorder

The person with paranoid personality disorder is suspicious and distrustful of others. They think that others do things just to annoy or hurt them, and they read hidden threats or put downs in the comments of others. They worry that friends or coworkers are not really loyal or trustworthy and are reluctant to confide in others because they believe that there is a price to pay when something personal is shared. 

Paranoid people are easily slighted and hold grudges. They find that people say things to attack their character or ruin their reputation, even though it does not seem that way to others. When involved in a relationship, they often worry that their partner is unfaithful.
