I know this might be personal but honestly, I don't care what it is. Mine used to be germs (I was turning into that freak Howard Hughes). Now I would say that evrything do will be wrong. On a test I got 95% on, I was sure I got almost every question wrong. I know, I knwo it sounds stupid but maybe its because I'm so lazy when it comes to studying for anything except history.

That sounds more like Obsessive Compulsive disorder rather than paranoia.

Which one? Th germs is most certanly paranoia because in reality, they are everywhere and you have to learn to live with them, so I'm assuming the "always being wrong part".

Or a phobia. I had a phobia to spiders up until about 2 days ago. Now I could careless about having one crawl on me.

The always being wrong part has to do with self confidence. You have a very low self asteem it seems and do not have faith in your own self. Once you gain that faith in yourself I am willing to bet a whole new world will open up to you.

It was the germs which sounded like OCD. But then I'm a layman - so what do I know. Certainly not a lot about cleanliness. All I know is it's next to godliness, but only in an Irish dictionary.

I often hear someone calling my name in public when actually no one does.

I'm not paranoid, just very aware of the many conspiracies that are happening.

Have you ever seen The Truman Show?

Yeah... It just kind of makes sense sometimes with the way everything works out. If my life gets too predictable something crazy ALWAYS happens. Gotta keep the viewers entertained, right?

And it just so happens that right before I turn 18, a bunch of security laws are put in place that restrict travel... hmmm...

I won't tell you because they are monitoring this website. Suffice to say, they are on to me. I might have to disappear from these board for a while.

But how do you know since physical evidence (you heard it) says otherwise? If you hear it, it is real. No? There are many reasons why someone might hide the truth from you. It could be because they wanted to see if you would turn when they said that name. To verify you are who they think you are. Or it could be numerous other reasons that a mind could come up with.

I just know it happens and it drives me mad, because I keep looking to see who called.

You're not looking hard enough. Or the truth will come to you when the time is right.

I want to be as much help as I can. Maybe I need help to help you and vice versa? Or just seek an expert that should solve it? :)

I am terrified to death of the Bush administration and the thickheaded bigots who support them.
I'm not paranoid, just smart.

I would think the most danger comes from the thinheaded biggots. Since they hide it so well. heh :)

If it makes you feel any better...this spring I constantly felt like my hands were dirty and I clipped my finger nails back as far as I could because I didn't want to have dirt under my nails not only that but I was constantly washing my hands and I'd take around 3 showers a day(sometimes more) :( ...this of course was going on at the same time my ex-husband was never around and cheating on me. Bad situations tend to bring out peoples' flaws I guess. Thank goodness I'm over ALL of that. Oh yeah! and telephones still really freak me out but I'm still not sure why that is :confused: ...but I'll do anything to avoid talking on one...

I think everybody is out to make me look bad. Everything I say might be turned against me. I blame it on my childhood.

I'm terrible for paranoia - I'm sure everyone is plotting, talking about me, going to say something about me, and no one really ever does.
I'm also sure someone has done something to the next straw to come out of straw dispensers, so I take the top off and get one from in there. My friend said "You know, if they're going to do something with the straws, they'll do it from the top. Not the bottom." And I just told him to shut up. It's just the way it is for me.
Paranoia is a symptom for various mental health disorders, such as depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, OCD... You can always talk to a psych about it and see what they think. But generally, they just shove pills down your throat.

How about reasonable, informed, minded ("open-minded leftists" is oxymoronic) leftists..!?

I'm much more paranoid of "effective" leftists than the usual "loony-tunes" leftists.

The vast majority population of these forums scare the schnizwobble out of me, because they could be seen as "sensible" people.

Any leftist is a dangerous leftist. Of course, by definition, any leftist in a capitalistic society is also a mostly ineffective leftist, so that is a palliative for my paranoia, to some extent.

Also,.. blue-faced clowns. Terrifying...!! :D
