Actually i used to paranoid, now i know i am i think i wont be anymore. I got this from a website about paranoia: "An unmistakable sign of paranoia is continual mistrust. People with paranoid personality disorder are constantly on their guard because they see the world as a threatening place. They tend to confirm their expectations by latching on to any speck of evidence that supports their suspicions and ignore or misinterpret any evidence to the contrary. They are ever watchful and may look around for signs of a threat. " And i realized thats me. I used to believe everything people did was a clue to how they truly felt. For example if i asked my friend to pass me say a book but as i took hold of it and he let go the book fell. I would think to myself he secretly hates me and did that on purpose (conscious or unconsciously) as a sign. This didnt just apply to me but to everyone. A few months ago my believe in this was overwhemly strong and it was drastically effecting my life (altough at the time i didnt realized this since i believed my thoughts). It was only until yesterday when i read that website that I realized I was paranoid. I think its good I know as i can start to easily ignore it now. Thanks thats my story on paranoia I hope it helps anyone else in the same boat that i used to be in. I would love to hear from anyone who has had something similar.
Describes me 100%. Except, I'm that way from past experiences, not my natural personality. The paranoid are never caught off gaurd.
