How Paranoid are you?

[delusional]

yea, unless they got a cutting torch. And if you were someone who needed a panic room, chances are the person would really want to get to you, so chances are they WOULD have a cutting torch.

Thats why you get the panic room built out of wood so there would be no metal for a cutting torch to cut through.

 

[Dog--]

wow.. that was just..

Fantastic thinking. I like your logic. I would never have thought of that!

 

[Headcrab Pie]

Used to be a 6, but now im a 3-1/2. I used to check under my matress for bombs and stuff.

Just remembered, I DO NOT drink tap water. So make me a 4.

 

[Iron Kat]

I do sometimes get paranoid, especially when I'm on my own like i am now. I can sometimes get a bit creeped out when I'm alone at night.

 

[15357]

I never stand/sit with my back to a door.


I hate the feeling.

 

[Sheepo]

I don't sleep. I don't blink. I don't trust. I don't hesitate.

I am ready

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

You're both French and a ninja, what on god's green earth could you have to be frightened of?

Anybody with superior weaponry and a dislike of Japanese-style frog legs.

 

[Bob_Marley]

At the moment? Very. I've had for too much cafine today, so I can't sleep. While trying to sleep I thought about zombies. Now I'm sitting in the dark checking out the window every 5 minutes with a cricket bat at my side.

I once got an iced coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker and I had no idea the iced coffee was exceptionally strong. I didn't get paranoid, but I could barely see/think straight for the rest of the day and I got really jittery. It probably looked like I was on drugs or something. I had a take home written exam due the next day, and I can't remember anything I wrote on it.

I have MEAN paranoia...

The worst is my fear of monsters. I shit you not, if I so much as walk past an empty room at 12 midnight, i'll visualize some vile humanoid creature with saliva dripping from fangs (hanging off a dognose no less) sprinting on all fours and jumping out of the darkness, screaming spit all over my face, and tackling me to the ground.

If i'm in the living room alone watching TV at night, I ALWAYS either feel like some vile beast is watching me through the glass, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce, or that some half man half beast will come behind me and grab me from the chair.

When i'm in public, it's just me being self conscious. I always feel that people are staring at me (my hair in particular...) and laughing, or talking about me, or thinking badly of me. And then I always get paranoid that people will pick up on the small social errors and judge me based on them, little things like screwing up a parallel park the first time around.

Both go away when i'm with a group of people I know...

but why would you believe in this crap if there is absolutely no shred of evidence that they exist .. anywhere. in the world. ever.

You just need a haircut. It's an almost 2 inches too long and, as expected, it has grown out unevenly.

you are only self conscious because you THINK people are staring at you. Turn and look. See if they are really staring. I doubt it, but if they were, they will stop when they realize you are aware.


problems solved.

 

[Avoidist]

Whenever I walk anywhere with anything of even the smallest value that's visible, I always analyze the environment to determine the least likely route on which someone will mug me, or alternatively where somebody will at least see me get mugged and thus be of some help. So... 6?

 

[sinkoman]

No idea. The only way I survive without freaking out at night is by either distracting myself with the TV or my comp, or by telling myself that they don't exist.

I know it's bullcrap, but it freaks me out still. Maybe something deeply rooted inside of me, I dunno, I don't care. It's no so bad that it really interrupts my life, it just makes me a slight bit uneasy from time to time.

It's not that I BELIEVE these things exist, it's that I picture them in my head, and that's usually enough to scare the living shit out of me.

I don't know about the hair. No idea what to do with it. What I do with it now, I think actually looked ok back a few years ago, but I think i've prob outgrown it. Madre tells me to slick it back, I think i'll look like a motard if I do that.

And with the self consciousness, again, it's that I picture people talking about me and shit. I mean, I KNOW they aren't, but it's like I can just see it in my head, vividly, and it makes me uneasy anyway.

I have a bad habit of assessing my environment for whoever I could picture making the most fun of me, and then visualizing whether or not I could beat the shit out of them. <<stupid

 

[ktimekiller]

I get the feeling, ALOT

I could hook your hair up in 5 minutes with some clippers.

Go to the barber and ask him to take about an inch and a half off.


Don't call attention to yourself if you don't like it.

Don't wear bright colors, don't talk to yourself, don't be rude to people, walk confidently but not like a gang member

and don't read into people - you don't know what they are thinking or saying. Don't look at them and they don't exist.

I think you are staring at people, even trying to read their body language and lips. Stop it.


Oh, and buy some window blinds and leave some lights on if your mind creates shit in the shadows.

This. Oh god, this...

You know, I only recently noticed this being a major problem in the past week or two that i've been in San Fran. I get it at home sometimes, but it never really bothers me, but lately it has been.

I think it's because i'm not used to the large volume of people in the city, especially not the city person mentality. Everybody in Hi is friendly...

I've had that problem where I move to a new area, and it's like I'm from another planet. You can either stay the way you were, or change your style a bit to fit in. I don't have an answer for that. I'd probably suggest something in between.


Really though, stay off the drugs.

And now, Desiderata

desiderata - by max ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann c.1920

 

[Bad^Hat]

I used to be really paranoid when I was 15 or 16. I even came up with a theory that people see all of my thoughts, and that there was a camera floating behind my head monitoring me 24/7, but I could never see it or touch it because it would always pick the perfect angle to avoid being detected.

Yeah, that was... that was dumb.

Heh, I had that for a while when I was around that age. Except the cameras were beaming my life onto an alien television station for their amusement.

As if my life then could have been entertaining to anyone.

 

[Asuka]

8 - I know I heard a noise, someone is here...

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

Every time I watch one of those Alien/chupacabra/bigfoot documentary things, I dread looking out my window because I'm afraid I'll be abducted or something.

Though it would be pretty cool to be abducted by aliens.....

 

[Rizzo]

A bit i guess. I whouldn't really call it paranoid, more like overcatious in some situations. Others not catious at all.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

LOL! I'll tell you one thing. Meth will make you paranoid as a mother****er!

[Unfocused]

I voted 3. I double check locks, sometimes if my stuff is in my pockets. At night and/or in dodgy areas in the city I look out for threats such as chavs and muggers. Due to the topic of this thread I checked over my shoulder a few times, and I also do this while reading about certain stuff, for example paranormal.

I don't wear boxies

 

[Dynasty]

I glance into each room that has it's door open as I walk down the hallway to my bedroom as im going to bed. Dont know what im expecting to see, I just always do it. I also look back down the corridor (its fairly long) as I open my bedroom door and walk in.

I only get feelings and stuff when I KNOW im on my own. Like if im in an empty house. When I have friends or parents around I dont do any paranoia stuff, as subconciously I know theres people around etc.

Oh and im always checking behind me when Im alone in the dark, especially outside. Fear of the unknown. Kinda sad really.

Meh, it was a response to the thread title. I figured it wouldn't work this late in the thread.

I figured it out about 3 seconds after I made that post.

But then I thought, "wow, i like cocks", so I didn't bother editing it.

 

[Sheepo]

Well you do like cocks...

 

[sinkoman]

Well you do like rocks...

Yeah, I especially like skipping them on lakes.
