What are the signs of paranoid personality disorder?

This person will appear almost hyper-vigilant, like they are looking for data, you know, they are just waiting for you to do something that they can then interpret as you are bearing malintent towards them, so they also will read things into every little comment you say. Some small comments will be blown up into having some kind of malintent on your part. They are reluctant to share information with other people because again, they are convinced that that information will be used against them. Pathological jealousy is extremely common in these patients. They sue people left and right, you know, they are very litiginous, and despite the fact that they are rather cold and maybe perceived as somewhat arrogant, I would tell you that most people would characterize a paranoid individual as rather hostile and almost aggressive. Now what's important to understand, though, from the paranoid person's perspective -- they are merely defending themselves against these constant barrage of attacks that they think are coming at them all the time. So they wouldn't consider themselves as angry, hostile individuals, they are just trying to stick up for their own rights and make sure they don't get stepped on.
