Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is one of a group of conditions called "Cluster A" personality disorders which involve odd or eccentric ways of thinking. People with PPD also suffer from paranoia, an unrelenting mistrust and suspicion of others, even when there is no reason to be suspicious.
This disorder usually begins by early adulthood and is progressive over a lifetime.
Clue to psychopathy: smiles, overdone.
all smiles, all danger:
What Are the Symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder?
People with PPD are always on guard, believing that others are constantly trying to demean, harm, or threaten them. These generally unfounded beliefs, as well as their habits of blame and distrust, might interfere with their ability to form close relationships. People with this disorder:
- can seem very friendly and outgoing, but that is their mask which they are highly skilled and developed
- Protecting
their true persona, life, interest, and struggles is met with that mask
of false persona: seen as outgoing, friendly, together: have a set of
phrases, smiles, or comebacks that are shallow but glowing: Smile, have a
nice day.
- Doubt the commitment, loyalty, or trustworthiness
of others, believing others are using or deceiving them, though this
information is kept secret, veiled and scripted
- Are
reluctant to confide in others or reveal personal information due to a
fear that the information will be used against them: false information
and false persona rule what others or public rules
- Are unforgiving and hold grudges forever, secretly is revengeful in covert and over ways
- Are hypersensitive and take criticism poorly
- Read hidden meanings in the innocent remarks or casual looks of others
- Perceive attacks on their character that are not apparent to others; they generally react with anger and are quick to retaliate
- Have
recurrent suspicions, without reason, that their spouses or lovers are
being unfaithful. This spills over to friends, relatives, neighbors, and
so on.
- Are generally cold and distant in their
relationships with others, and might become controlling and jealous,
except the "love bomb"
- Cannot see their role in problems or
conflicts and believe they are always right. Blame and scapegoat others,
always. Scapegoating others may take the form of shifting the focus and
blame on the other, such as a husband in marriage therapy getting the
discussion off track with some of the weaknesses of his wife.
- Have difficulty relaxing: always on the go, and ordering their life so no dirt or "chinks" in their armor shows. Is known as parents and friends to have no problems, or humanity, but in control, perfect, cleaned up, etc.
- May be seen as perfectionist, or obsessive, but that is part of Paranoid disorder's maintenance of their life: one where others will see no "chinks in their armour", humanity
- linear in thinking, with life run by my / your oughts, shoulds, musts, rules, formalities, credos,
- Are hostile, stubborn, and argumentative
- controlling
husbands, but rigid parents who may hold to a rule or ideal that
alienates children, friends, relatives, others. Punitive, holds to
traditional views of punishment.
- Has no entertainment of true compassion, empathy, sympathy for the problems or suffering of others. Denies they have a role, can't negotiate or compromise.
- Believes others should be punished, they should punish them, or others suffer because of their own fault
- some may be psychophants: they pump others in phone calls or "love bomb" visits, to get information from the other, to maintain their sense of self-control while not sharing personal information about them (or sharing scripted information, a speech likely shared with others). The "love bomb", is typical of psychopath and abusive narcissist. In a neighbor friendship, the person drops by gifts, to get back information (gossip, or office info would count here)
- all smiles publicly
and, I think this applies:
*may be racists, blaming races, women, gays, or others, but not all will be found out to be so, as they cover this up.
Below, WebMd states this is more common in men. I disagree with that, as I have seen this more common in Women. I think men with this "stand out" like a sore thumb, so that's why they're identified.
But, women, I've seen, are equally as susceptible: just take a look at the Kardashians and most TV shows that portray women.
I think this is being missed because the tools, the psychological tests, to identify it are not "mature" yet.

Maybe a common thread here for these women is no real sympathy or empathy is present. It is all for "show". They do cry a lot for others, but it's fake.
