Suspicion - Something's Fishy?

by Tanya

Something's fishy?

You might have come across this sentence a lot, in day to day life, well yeah, so I thought about writing something different today, going off stream. Just to make your brain divert to a new subject, which is related to the psychology of people, to be more precise human psychology and the medical reasons behind it.

Suspicion is a belief or feeling that someone has committed a crime or done something wrong.

The word comes from Middle-English via the Old French word "suspicion".

The needle of suspicion is raised by and upon every person, no one is left behind. Suspicion, doubts, a thing which can break any kind of relationship, in seconds, maybe, holding great potential to just break a person and its abilities, his confidence, everything residing inside a person, in seconds. Such is the power of it.

I’m suspicious of your actions towards me on this day of all days, I’m just trying to get through this day because it’s just another day of work for me. - ( Written By: Deirdre Stokes)

To be possessive and suspicious is natural. Constant suspicion and insecurity are the hallmarks of those who depend on others to give meaning to their lives. Self-confident people take responsibility for their own emotional states, and their self-reliance is a source of attraction for others.

Insecure people ultimately manage to drive away even those close to them with constant haranguing and suspicion. Suspicion is a silent, sullen killer that erodes a relationship more than anything else. With the surety and fatality of a time bomb, it ticks on insidiously till it goes off in your face one day, destroying all.

Nowadays, everyone finds a reason to look at other people, as a suspect, they find reasons, to attack people as if they are predators waiting for the prey desperately to fall into a trap.

A suspicious mind and manner not just erode relationships, but your very own self. You lose dignity and demean yourself by doubting, suspecting, spying, and questioning. And what do you achieve at the end of the exercise?

The British dramatist William Shakespeare noted that "Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind". Suspicion can also be aroused in response to objects that negatively differ from an expected idea.

an English author and essayist, called suspicion a "useless pain" in which a person has a belief that a formidable evil lies within all of their fellow men.

Doubt sometimes tends to call on reason. Doubt and Suspiciousness may have particular importance as leading towards disbelief or non-acceptance.
