6. Suspiciousness and Paranoia
Hypervigilance has the potential to affect relationships with close friends and family. Suspiciousness can cause people experiencing hypervigilance to feel like betrayal is inevitable, prompting them to cut ties and end supportive relationships. This reaction is not the same as paranoia, however. A person with hypervigilance is aware of their fears and symptoms and that they could be unfounded. Unfortunately, this may also lead them to assume they are experiencing paranoia.
