Paranoid Personality Disorder
This is a pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others, such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. It is typically characterized by:
* Unjustified suspicion that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving them.
* Reluctance to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used against them.
* Reading hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign remarks or events.
* Persistent bearing of grudges.
* Recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding fidelity of spouse or partner.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
This is a pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of expression of emotions in interpersonal settings. They almost always prefer solitary activities. They have few, if any, close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives. They often appear emotionally cold, detached, and exhibit flattened affect (the range of a person's emotional expressiveness).
Schizotypal Personality Disorder
This is a pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by acute discomfort with, and reduced capacity for, close relationships, as well as by cognitive or perceptual distortions and eccentricities of behavior. This includes odd beliefs or magical thinking that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, belief in clairvoyance, telepathy, or "sixth sense"); odd thinking and speech (e.g., vague, circumstantial, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped); inappropriate or constricted affect.
