Excessive suspiciousness prevents an adequate perception of the surrounding reality. If you suffer from this quality, work on yourself so as not to see the catch in everything.
Instructions
Step 1
Understand that people pay less attention to your mistakes than you sometimes think. Other individuals are preoccupied with their own lives, not preoccupied with how to interfere with yours. If you think that others are constantly intriguing you, most likely it is paranoia. The whole world cannot revolve around one person. Be realistic and stop fantasizing.
Step 2
Stop keeping everything under control. Relax, learn to delegate responsibilities, stop keeping an eye on what is happening. At least for the sake of experiment, let something go by itself. You will be convinced that the world has not collapsed, nothing has changed in particular. This means that you do not need to constantly be in a state of tension and worry about the fact that something bad can happen, as soon as you turn away.
Step 3
Work on your self-esteem. Excessive suspiciousness does not appear from scratch. Self-confident individuals do not suffer from it. Therefore, you need to understand yourself, accept yourself and love. Pay more attention to your merits, merits, talents, positive qualities. Be confident in your own abilities, and you will lose the feeling of anxiety.
Step 4
Find an interesting hobby for yourself. If your hobby is to come up with what people think of you, what plans are ripening in their heads, then it's time to be distracted by some other entertainment. Think about what gives you pleasure. Maybe it's handicraft, creativity or study. Give most of your free time to your hobbies and get distracted from strange thoughts.
Step 5
Only take facts on faith. If you are suspicious, you better not try to think out something for others, you still cannot do it objectively. Filter information. If there is no evidence of an event or story, do not believe it. Do the same with your thoughts. As soon as the next "what if …" creeps into your mind, stop yourself and think what reason you have for making such an assumption.
Step 6
Some suspicious people, in order to calm down and dispel their unfounded doubts and worries, share their suspicions with relatives, friends and colleagues. On the one hand, the reasonable arguments of others help close the question. On the other hand, acquaintances begin to perceive this individual as a hysterical, insecure person with an unstable psyche. In addition, each time taking some kind of nonsense into his head, and then getting rid of it only with the help of a support group, a person acquires a certain habit of consulting with others and trusting them more than himself. Do not put someone else's opinion above your own. Fight it with suspiciousness, not with its consequences.
