Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental disorder characterized by paranoia and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others. Individuals with this personality disorder may be hypersensitive, easily feel slighted, and habitually relate to the world by vigilant scanning of the environment for clues or suggestions that may validate their fears or biases. Paranoid individuals are eager observers. They think they are in danger and look for signs and threats of that danger, potentially not appreciating other evidence.

The following can be of use:

1. Recognize and accept their own feelings of vulnerability

2. Increase their feelings of self-worth

3. Develop a more trusting view of others

4. Verbalise their distress, rather than use counterproductive strategies such as shunning or intimidating them.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
