7. Jealousy
As sufferers of PPD often view experiences they go through in a suspicious light, it’s not uncommon for them to view fortuitous events that happen to other people as negative toward themselves. So, if a coworker gets a raise, it’s because the boss likes that person better.
This tendency towards narcissism coupled with a natural suspicion of others can lead to intense feelings of jealousy. Jealousy can make it incredibly difficult for people with this disorder to enjoy work friendships and maintain romantic relationships.2Paranoid Personality Disorder By Andrew Skodol, et al. ‘Paranoid Personality Disorder - Mental Health Disorders.’ Merck Manuals Consumer Version, Merck Manuals, www.merckmanuals.com/home/mental-health-disorders/personality-disorders/paranoid-personality-disorder.
