Is it normal that i think everything is a trap?

26% Normal
26 Comments

Any time someone requests my presence somewhere, I think it's a trap. I come up with numerous logical reasons for why this is a legit concern. Then I start to think of potential excuses and exit strategies if I am indeed trapped so that I'm ahead of the game.

I even get mad at (probably) innocent people for aiding in the trap. If I'm supposed to ride with another person for instance, I get really angry at them if they have revealed even the slightest bit of information about me, our arrival or any other minute detail. I yell at them for being so stupid to give out incriminating info.

Then when it's all over and nothing happened I'm relieved but I still think I was very wise to be prepared and I hope that in the future my associates THINK before offering any information, no matter how benign they think it is.

I don't want to change, I DO want to think this way no matter how many times I end up being wrong. I couldn't imagine life without thinking this way.

IIN?

      No, I highly doubt that.

          No, I don't think so. I'm not delusional, I do have very real and legit reasons for being paranoid about some things. I definitely do think those very real reasons have probably caused me to be overly cautious in some situations where I don't really need to be but, oh well.

            As an actual schizophrenic I think I should be able to shed some light on this. He doesn't show enough signs from his post to infer that he is a paranoid schizophrenic, however he does show many signs of Paranoid Personality disorder.

    O.o I'm confused... why would it be a trap? What would they do to you?

    Sounds like you're causing yourself a lot of unneeded stress.

      I'll put it this way. I have several unresolved matters with the State. There's a few other reasons as well.

    For a while after my father left, I was still living in fear, constantly looking people over for weapons, suspicious behavior, etc...

      I'm actually not concerned at all about people watching me. I doubt anyone is and if they are, I don't care, have at it.

    You won't feel as defensive once you meet and get to know good, loyal friends you can trust. I was over 30 by the time this happened, but it was a huge step up. Hope this helps !

    I don't think it is normal, a lot of people are gullible and don't worry enough in my opinion. Especially not at your level. None the less, I think it sounds kinda cool, makes it sound as if you are a secret agent on a mission or something. Who knows, maybe one day it'll come in handy, and save your life.
