Paranoid: This type can be especially difficult, because paranoid types believe everything to be a conspiracy or plot. The paranoid protective self will likely even react that way to reading these sentences. Paranoid types usually feel a deep inner agitation, and so their protective self keeps them externally focused on grand schemes and conspiracy theories. Someone is always out to get them, keep them down, or manipulate them. Even where there may be much simpler explanations, they will go down complex rabbit holes to explain everything. For example, you might get a password reset notification from Facebook that you did not request. Instead of assuming it to be a spammer or phishing attempt, you decide that the government is trying to log in to your profile because you know too much. Even though recent leaks would indicate that the government can view your private information any time they want without needing to reset your password, the protective self prefers this grandiose version of events where you are being targeted because you’re a threat to the omniscient “them.” Anyone who tries to help talk you out of this will be seen as part of the conspiracy. The protective self reinforces itself by being somewhat aggressive, hostile, and cold—then when people react negatively to this, the protective self can prove that people are not to be trusted. Paranoid types have often been betrayed or mistreated, and their bodies have adopted this rigid sensation and corresponding stories in order to protect them from that pain. Paranoid types can find peace when they stop waging these external battles, and instead turn their attention inward. When they realize that their bodies and minds are only trying to protect them, this naturally begins to soften the heart (along with all of the anxious thinking patterns).
