Trust is a big thing for me. When I trust a person, my social intelligence kicks in, but when I don't trust someone, my emotional dysregulation kicks in. So if someone has given me reason to lose my trust in them, I can become paranoid that they're plotting against me, which increases my anxiety levels and makes me act irrationally. Otherwise, I'm not a paranoid person really and can rationalise things and understand people's intentions. Until anxiety gets the better of me, which, like I already said, always has a reason behind it and doesn't just happen out of the blue.
So, if it looks like I'm paranoid of your intentions, ask yourself why, as I wouldn't be paranoid without good reason. (Not aimed at anyone here, just in general). If I'm not paranoid around you then that means I fully trust you and that trust is not going to just demolish overnight or if you said something that I don't agree with. I'm a grey area sort of person most of the time, so I'm not someone you have to walk on eggshells around once trust has built up.
Like I often say, I have the social intelligence to see grey areas and understand intentions and body language, but I don't have the emotional skills to deal with too much negative vibes from others without beating myself up or even seeming a bit hysterical. That's anxiety, and anxiety is a b***h.
