8. Holding Grudges
People with paranoid personality disorder often view innocent people with suspicion and mistrust by default. Typically, people with PPD hold grudges for inordinate lengths of time when they perceive that someone has wronged them in some way.
Grudges can be applied to family members, friends or strangers and last indefinitely. The PPD sufferer feels that the guilty party is just confirming their untrustworthy characteristics. Those with PPD are very slow to forgive if they ever do.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.
