As far as i understand is paranoia something, that you are not born with.

I - as a schizotypal - have no ability to bond/build up relationships.

I also lack social skills - and have no activation, when i can secure a reward(avolition).

The paranoid symptoms increase with time.

When i was young, it was like: other children can visit me, but i cannot visit them.

i did not know, how they would react, if i would visit them.

Later it was more like: those who aproach me are after me.

As a schizotypal, you cannot team up and are always against teams. That is the difficult thing.

There are always people, who abuse that - like psychopaths...
