Their expressions will usually show hostility, inflexibility and bitterness. This makes them appear cold and void of any warm feelings.

Their extreme suspiciousness, as well as resentment and animosity toward other people, may result in arguing and repeated complaints or hostile indifference to others. People with the disorder are usually hard to get along with and have challenges with close relationships. However, individuals with the disorder are acutely worried, causing it to penetrate every area of their lives, including their career and personal relationships. It’s normal for people to have a certain amount of paranoia in some situations in life, such as the worries of being laid off from work. While there is no evidence to support their beliefs, people with the disorder think others will exploit, harm or deceive them. They will almost always distrust other people’s intentions, sometimes even thinking their motives are evil. Individuals with Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD) usually have prevalent distrust and suspicion of other people that has lasted for a long time. ![]()
