You might consider a basic psychological principal called "projection." People with neurotic anxieties tend to project those anxieties onto other people: an obsessively suspicious person usually feels that others are suspicious of him.

Consider the case of an obsessively optimistic person who uses illogic and his own short-term experience to justify his pie-in-the-sky optimism. He then insists that others who point out the unrealistic nature of his beliefs are mental cases whose minds are "twisting the view on facts."

Maybe he would consider putting a hold on the psycho-babble.
