From the Merck Manual: "Paranoid Personality: This personality is characterized by the individual's projection of his own hostilities and aggressiveness as delusions that others are hostile toward him. These persons are markedly sensitive to interpersonal relationships and tend to find hostile and malevolent intentions behind trivial, innocent, or even kindly acts by others. Often a paranoid's suspicious attitude leads to aggressive feelings; however, the individual is unable to see his own part in this cycle. The paranoid's behavior may be designed to prove his adequacy, while his sense of worthiness becomes exaggerated and is accompanied by belittlement of others. In many spheres these persons may be highly efficient, though envious and inflexible. They may be litigious, especially when they feel a sense of righteous indignation." All personality disorders are almost impossible to cure, according to what I read. They have been around a long time. Chaucer's Reeve was that type.
