Suspicious Minds
Paranoid mental states
A suspicious mind is one inclined to distrust or doubt others' motives.
The phrase appears most often in the plural, describing a general tendency toward suspicion: Suspicious minds see conspiracy everywhere.
The 1969 Elvis Presley song "Suspicious Minds" made the phrase iconic, depicting jealousy poisoning a romantic relationship: We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out.
