Some don't. :[SmartIdiot said:Paranoia pays for your freedom. It's just a lapse in rational thought really. You can easily counter it by thinking "Wait, don't these people have better things to do than get at me? I think they do... next please!"
I think that type of thing can end up being very bad depending on the extent you take your thoughts. I don't think it's paranoia so much as anxiety (especially the car crash/cheating thing).Get Off My Lawn said:I'm paranoid about the tiniest things.
Example: If someone says something like...
"I like your hair, it's pretty."
I'll end up thinking-
"No, it's not. You're lying."
I'll 'believe' them, but not really.
Even about emotions. If someone says,
"I'm angry."
I'll think-
"No, you're not. You're overreacting."
And other things.. I get worried if someone's gone an hour more than they should. I'll think of the worst possible thing and freak out over it until they return. (They got in a car crash, they're cheating, blah blah blah...)
Anyways, to the point.
Is this type of thing bad? Is it even paranoia? Do you have a problem like this?
Thank ye. :3 I'll try to keep it in mind.Valiance said:I think that type of thing can end up being very bad depending on the extent you take your thoughts. I don't think it's paranoia so much as anxiety (especially the car crash/cheating thing).
I do have a problem like that, and I should probably go get diagnosed and treated, but I don't want people to love the me-that's-drugged-up as opposed to the me-that's-me-with-flaws.
Advice? Learn to relax and look at things rationally. That's about it.
Mine's not too terrible since I've sorta learned to get past it. My friend has it really bad, has to take drugs that relax him and make him happy.Get Off My Lawn said:Thank ye. :3 I'll try to keep it in mind.Valiance said:I think that type of thing can end up being very bad depending on the extent you take your thoughts.

I've never considered drugs, especially seeing as I'm afraid of swallowing pills. x/
How bad is your paranoia? I have a friend who has to take anxiety pills. One day she didn't take them and she had to check out because she felt so messed up.
That freaked me out a bit, but Black Sabbath calmed me. :[Flying-Emu said:Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind.
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time.
Paranoia is a common thing in this world. I mean, with all of the surveillance possible, wire-tapping, and webcams, you could very well be being observed at every moment of your life. Just remember that it's probably unlikely that you actually are. You're not that important.
I know you read this post.
I can see you now.
Your greasy fingers on the keyboard. You sicken me. See that little dot in the corner of your eye?
Do you want to meet God?
If you saw a red dot, you're paranoid. Congrats!
