I think a lot of people make negative assumptions about what other people think of them and their intentions, without it being 'paranoia' -which is on a very very extreme end of this and you quite literally (you do not think it's irrational) think people are out to get you.
I make the distinction because if it is due to, for example, issues related to self-esteem, trust, and other psychological issues, there's no pill for that --but therapy can help a lot to change those thought patterns and find out where they're coming from.
I get like this sometimes (quite apart from 'episodes') and it really is awful, and can make it difficult to interact with people. Therapy has helped me a lot with it.
