Options for paranoid personality disorder

We are convinced that only they own this specialty, only they understand everything perfectly. They do not want to obey, limited to a modest role, usually fight their personal enemies, and not for the common cause. Fighting opponents and approval of their significance fill their lives. neither energetic, movable, sometimes bustle, do not know what fatigue is not experiencing rest needs.

Although fanatics in contrast to other paranoid personalities and do not put forward themselves, they are far from true altruism, devoid of immediate love of neighbor, soulless, and often cruel.
A characteristic feature of a sensitive variant of paranoid psychopathy consists in combining contrasts: the consciousness of its own inferiority, vulnerability, false speculation and ambition, an increased sense of self-esteem. These are people timid, shy, afraid and at the same time a mnitious and irritable, prone to self-analysis, self-criticism and even to self-person. They are distinguished by the acute feeling of the humiliating insolvency for them in relation to standards (professional, everyday, etc.) they themselves installed for themselves.

You can also help such people in the control of the alarm and improving the skills of solving problems in communication. Patients help more realistically evaluate the actions and intentions of other people and better understand the view of the surrounding.
