Personality

Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD) is classified under Cluster A personality disorders, which are characterized by odd or eccentric behaviors. Individuals with PPD display a consistent and pervasive distrust and suspicion of others. They often believe that others have hidden motives and are out to exploit, harm, or deceive them—even in the absence of concrete evidence. This disorder can severely affect interpersonal relationships, as the individual may misinterpret innocent remarks or casual looks as threats.
Option (A) Antisocial: Incorrect. This disorder is marked by a disregard for the rights of others, deceit, and manipulation, not distrust.

Option (C) Paranoid: Correct. This disorder is characterized by generalized mistrust and suspicion of others, including family and friends.
Option (D) Narcissistic: Incorrect. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy, not distrust.

Self-Control is the ability of an individual to regulate and manage their emotions, desires, and impulses in order to achieve long-term goals and maintain socially acceptable behavior. It involves resisting short-term temptations and distractions to focus on tasks or actions that lead to positive outcomes.
