Pisces and Paranoia

The above topic has been swirling around my head like a fish in friggin bowl.
I found some useful information on Paranoia so for all takers and talkers to decide for themselves. Do you think Pisces are more prone to suffer from this disorder?

Suspicious
An unmistakable sign of paranoia is continual mistrust. People with paranoid personality disorder are constantly on their guard because they see the world as a threatening place. They tend to confirm their expectations by latching on to any speck of evidence that supports their suspicions and ignore or misinterpret any evidence to the contrary. They are ever watchful and may look around for signs of a threat.

Anyone in a new situation -- beginning a job or starting a relationship, for example -- is cautious and somewhat guarded until he or she learns that the fears are groundless. People suffering from paranoia cannot abandon their fears. They continue to expect trickery and to doubt the loyalty of others. In a personal relationship or marriage, this suspiciousness may take the form of pathological, unrealistic jealousy.

Hypersensitive
Because persons with paranoid personality disorder are hyperalert, they notice any slight and may take offense where none is intended. As a result, they tend to be defensive and antagonistic. When they are at fault, they cannot accept blame, not even mild criticism. Yet they are highly critical of others. Other people may say that these individuals make "mountains out of molehills."

Cold and Aloof
In addition to being argumentative and uncompromising, the people with paranoid personality disorder are often emotionally cut off from other people. They appear cold and, in fact, often avoid becoming intimate with others. They pride themselves on their rationality and objectivity. People with a paranoid outlook on life rarely come to the attention of clinicians -- it is not in their nature to seek help. Many presumably function competently in society. They may seek out social niches in which a moralistic and punitive style is acceptable, or at least tolerated to a certain degree.

Ah, but that's becasue the people who claim to be trying to help us just want to lock us into dependency so they can continue to make money from us.

Well, I'm a pisces, and I definitely see myself in all three of those categories. So based on just me, I'd say pisces are more prone 😄

Not really. Most Pisces I know trust people for the most part. Though, they take offense easier than others, they will accept blame when they are wrong; and third, they seem to be real social creatures and not cut off from the world.

However, I'm sure most people can see numerous traits from all kinds of disorders. Just like medical conditions . . lol, according to some symptoms, should have been dead long ago.

Have you ever looked up Lyme Desease? I'd be willing to wager that 50% of the population has 75% of the symptoms.

I think I'd side with P-Angel on this one. All the pisces people I've known so far tend to trust people.After all we're friendly people,our motto is to give everyone the benefit of doubt...that is until we're proven wrong!😉

Yes, we trust. And there are times we think we've trusted too much and wish to recant.

I for one, do not trust anybody.
