My neighbor is suspicious of everyone, always holds grudges, and is hypersensitive to any criticism. he is moody, trusts no one, and he never changes his mind. his wife says he has always been this way. what dsm-5 personality type or personality trait description does this best illustrate

Hihi!

The neighbor in this scenario has all the signs of being paranoid! Paranoia is a "mental condition that contains delusions of persecution, unwarranted jealousy, or exaggerated self-importance, typically elaborated into an organized system. It may be an aspect of chronic personality disorder, of drug abuse, or of a serious condition such as schizophrenia in which the person loses touch with reality."!

I hope I helped!

The answer is "Paranoid personality disorder".

Paranoid personality disorder is described by a pervasive doubt of others, including even companions, family, and accomplices. Subsequently, this individual is protected, suspicious, and always watchful for pieces of information or recommendations to approve his feelings of trepidation. He likewise has a solid feeling of individual rights: He is excessively touchy to difficulties and rebukes, effectively feels disgrace and embarrassment, and tenaciously stores up resentment hard feelings. Obviously, he will in general pull back from others and to battle with building cozy connections.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
