Aggression Or Suspiciousness

Aggression, suspiciousness, and distrust are characteristics of paranoid personality disorder. Such people remain isolated, have difficulty forming relationships, jealousy, and angry. They believe that everyone tries to harm them in some way. They search for even small pieces of evidence that support their thought and words. They do not believe in loyalty and do not get intimate with anyone. This is a personality disorder and not a psychotic disorder. Drugs, alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, etc., enhance such thought processes.
