Are you a PARANOID?

I don't deal with paranoia, if I feel that I am paranoid about something I just stop it and start looking at the situation a little more logically. There could be many reasons why the other people are acting the way they are not most of them have nothing to do with me at all.

Yes, I am in a way paranoid too but in a different way. I get attracted to people for wrong reasons. Although I get attracted to them, still I shy away being close to them. I also people trust too fast or distrust them when they are too nice to me. I suspect their motive. I thought I was the only one to feel that way. I am always cautious with new people and take long time to make friends.

joice86, Why are you paranoid? Have you ever had bad experience? I think people are getting paranoid because they ever had bad experience. I believe that all of us were born without prejudice. Take a look at children between 1-7 years old, most of them are trustful to others (they don't have any prejudice at all). When children are getting older, their perceptions are more diverse because each of them has different experience in their development. Some of them are getting paranoid to darkness because they might have horrible experience of darkness. So, they are having discomfort feeling when they are placed into a dark room. Although they will be able to handle this later on, it can still have a scar on the back of their minds. Yes, paranoid can make us "crazy". Some people are becoming more sensitive when others have triggered such situation that make them discomfort although other people don't mean it. If I were you, I won't bother about other people's thinking. Although you will find out that others don't like you, you just need to keep thinking that there are many people in this world. Sooner or later, you will find people who are compatible with you. It will be their loss if they don't like you because you have so much to offer. Those people who don't like or treat you badly may just be arrogant and selfish people. I hope you are not paranoid anymore :-)

I admit that I'm paranoid to a certain extent. Mostly for my safety when I'm out of the house. I'm very observant with the people I am with in public transports, the mall, or while walking on the streets. I try to be vigilant and aware of my surroundings. In the house, I always check if the doors are closed at night. That's the part where I am most paranoid- safety. But in terms of people not liking me or having ill thoughts about me, I don't care about them much. I try as much as I can to have positive thoughts all the time, and it does help me live my life better. Negative thoughts are unhealthy and might cause you to get sick so do away with them as much as possible.

Yes, I do tend to think people are thinking bad things about me a lot.

No, I'm not paranoid. People usually mind their own business and I don't think they would have time to think evil of me. I hope you'll overcome your paranoia. You're going to miss a lot of things because of this. Imagine, you avoid going out because of things you have in your mind which are not real at all. Learn to be more trusting and avoid worrying. Smile, Jesus loves you!

am hyper cautious, if I go in a building,I need to know how to get out another way, when in an elevator, I make sure I am by the control panel, so I can hit the panic button, I always carry a hard bound book, it's an excellent tool for smashing in some ones nose. Am I paranoid, or am I aware that crime is no longer a personal agenda, but has become to random, to ever consider yourself safe, or in a safe zone? Let's not forget that just because your paranoid doesn't mean someone is not out to get you.

I dont know who started this rumour about me, i am not paranoid but im getting sick and tired of people saying i am, i know they are all secretly plotting against me blessed be

I think i am. This is not the only reason to be distant of close contacts, but it`s important one. But this is a result of low self-esteem, some traumas and disapointemts from the past. I still have no solvation, this kind of problems need really many time.

I use to feel that way I guess I just out grew it. I have learned to trust my instints. I find if I meet someone who I like right away they are usually good people. Then there are those people that I have met that give me the creeps or there is something about them I do not trust those are the people that I have learned to shy away from. I guess as you get older you will earn how to trust yourself and your friends. Good luck

I am paranoid whenever I am alone on the streets. I always think that I might be held up over and over again.

im a paranoid sometimes, it depend to the situation, i also a person that are paranoid and i just let her be like that.

No, I wouldn't call myself paranoid. I admit that I only trust a few people in my life but I blame that on society and with how others have treated me in the past. There are times in life that you have to be cautious but I wouldn't label that as paranoia. I am not worried that there is someone out there trying to get me.

Yes there are times that I feel paranoid and lack of confidence. But I guess it's just myself that make myself paranoid.

No, I am not a paranoid. I easily trust people unless they did something wrong and then I don't trust them anymore. You might be under stress and it maybe causing your paranoia. Why don't you try consulting a doctor? It will help you on your paranoia.

I am not paranoid and stop saying that. They really are out to get me. The voices tell me so. Now seriously, I'm not paranoid, but there are times I do feel that creapy feeling that they are out to get me. It's not much, but there have been times at work that it seems there is jealousy and people do so many things behind others back. In work politics always make me feel that way.
