A theory about self paranoia and socialising?
1)let me add this, i don't need any meds or shrinks. i refuse to live or die as a weakling who cannot solve my own problems.
2)i have a theory that paranoia is induced by one's own insecurities. think about this yourself and if i'm right to some extent then let me know.
3)i know the paranoia is all in one's head, however how the hell do you deal with the people who generally do encourage it (ie, bitches n bastards). you'll often find these type of people on the make up counters or at retail stores of very fashionable department stores. you know the type?
i'm 100% sure i'm not being paranoid about them making remarks. for one, they're absolutely ** at ridiculing some1 in secret.
so as a cure to the paranoia, if you make yourself perfect then others have nothing to say about you and the paranoia will stop?
am i being silly - yay or nay?
Answer:
paranoia is not silly ask any soilder in the field its the thing that keeps you alive
Parania occurs because of a chemical inbalance in the brain, I had a friend from South Africa who was clinically paranoid and very insecure, however this is not to categorize all the people with paranoia as insecure. It is a medical condition, rather than a social disorder. She was perscribed medication that she started taking regularly and her husband started paying for things that would make her feel better, prettier about herself, such as sending her to get her eyebrows done professionally, getting regular manicures and pedicures,so she would be in a state of consciousness where she would regard herself as a well-groomed, attractive woman, but she still kept taking her medication regularly.
First of all, you have to understand that nobody is perfect, there is no such thing as "making yourself perfect". Secondly, you mentioned that "if you make yourself perfect, the others will have nothing to say about you and the paranioa will stop", that is preposterous beyond description. People have been gossipping since the beginning of human life and they will keep doing so no matter what you do. Realize that you are a unique individual as everyone else and you have your own unique personalilty for which there is nothing to be apologetic about.
Also, keep in mind that, people talk about people they find interesting, they wouldn't even notice a boring old person in a corner, if they are talking about you, take it as a compliment that you are so intersting that those people would rather waste their life talking about your life, than choosing to go out and live their own lives.
You sound like an intelligent person from your paragraph, so I hope you will see that, acknowledging a medical situation and seeking help, doesn't make you a weakling, it makes you a strong and intelligent person who is taking hold of her own health and doing what is necessary to cure a problem. I would advise you to take your meds and enjoy your life, however the decision is up to you. Check for yourself and see if you are functioning better in life with meds or without them. I just want to point out that, the vocabulary you chose to describe the type of people who are frustrating you, wouldn't be the choice of the healthiest person.
Good luck and wish you the best.
I feel you are right that you can solve your own problems. But with a disorder like paranoia it may take the help of meds or shrinks. Maybe both, but definitely a shrink.
Paranoia induced by ones own insecurities.. Interesting theory but then is cycles, the insecurity creates paranoia and the paranoia feeds the insecurity.
Paranoia may be in your head, but most of it I feel can be traced back to something that triggered it. Paranoid people find it very difficult to trust and feel others are out to get them. The people at the make-up counter may or may not be making remarks but we cannot control what others say or do, can we? So we need to learn to not let it bother us.
Paranoid people also have a low self-esteem so remarks may sting more and it is difficult for them to not let it get to them.
No one is perfect and no on can make themselves perfect. It is impossible. You do not have to change yourself to please others or to stop the paranoia you feel when others may be making remarks. You need to change your thoughts and feelings about the remarks. You need to boost your self-esteem and recognize your good qualities. If other do not see them, that is their problem. If they make negative remarks about you, it does not change who you are.
Nay, you are not silly.
Paranoi is a result of all the conspiracy that's going on.
People who are paranoid have problems socializing and maintaining relationships. No I do not think you are silly. If your paranoia is under control, I guess you must be OK. If it isn't you won't know it.
Needing medication doesn't make you weak. Sometimes it can help you think with a clear head and therefore help you to solve your own problems, then you can stop taking the medication. How about just not giving a crap what people say about you. It's impossible to be perfect and even if you were they would just talk about that too. I commend you for having the self-confidence to solve your own problems. Your determination is admirable. Just remember that it's okay to lean on other people sometimes and it doesn't make you weak.
you may feel energy from others loseing the power to stay in controll of your own energy putting you in a paranoia being without controll I know every one has a spritual energy and only some or few if any can sence the energy feeling this they may call you crazy but its comes from your own perspective of what you feel
Paranoia is described my medical experts as extreme mistrust and or anxiety. If that being the whole story.Maybe learning to trusts one's own self first would help alleviate the paranoia. Good Luck!
For one, you should not care about what other's think of you.m I have a sister who thinks that people are remarking about her and well she brought that one on all herself.. If you think that others are talking bad about you , you're only asking for it
If someone talks behind my back , oh well they have nothing better to do? Most people don't care and the ones that do talk about others are gossipers and most if not all gossipers have chit in their own lives that should be talked about because most are alcoholics, get beat up themselves , cheat on their spouses, steal from people or companies, abuse perscription drugs or other drugs. It's actually sad when I see this happen. Dont let yourself become valnerable. People focus on others only so they dont have to think about their lives.
If you let this bug you.. Heck if you keep thinking that they are talking about you , Yeah , you will be against the world if you think that the world is against you ... And it is paranoia..
First of all, no one is perfect. But there will always be someone out there to make you feel bad about yourself if you let them. There are those voices in your head that are negative. Things people said that replay in your head. Things you believe yourself to be because of them. These you need to replace with more positive things about yourself. And you need to learn not to give a damn what anyone else thinks of you or says about you. What you think is what counts.
