Do you feel people are plotting against you?

Post Reply New Topic

No, yet it does often seem people are nevertheless talking amongst themselves for their own reasons.

Since I do most of my communicating on various websites on the Internet, that's where I feel it the most. Am I going to give up something that I love, in this case my special interests rleated to computers, such as message boards and social networks, because somebody that I don't know about might have secret plans to do something to me? Of course not. Stuff like that happens everywhere off the Internet, as well. There is good and bad in everyone, and not everybody is going to get along. That's life.

No.

'Feel' or 'believe' have no place in my world. I know or I don't know.

And I know my boss is plotting. He doesn't like me because we are diametrically opposite personalities and because I'm in his way. Too bad for him.

How do you categorize indeterminate things? Some things aren't so black and white.

Then I don't know and I go about learning about it, or looking up more information or asking or whatever.

The gray area you speak of is uncertainty, lack of information or knowledge. So I fix that by learning more.

If I can't or there is no further knowledge then it's back to: don't know.

Sometimes on occasions, no idea why though but I do find that really bad and I do try not to think about it, I even hide from communications when I do happen to feel like that.

I don't often feel like that though but when it does happen, you probably won't see much of me.

I do worry that people say negative things about me to others, because I have been present when people have done so, and I worry that people will get mad at me for some reason I don't understand because that's happened so frequently.

I have been the victim of horrible treatment by people, usually by groups of people rather than by individuals. But I don't believe that they give enough consideration of me as an individual that I could say that they were acting toward me. Their consideration of "me" seems limited to any way in which I am different to the norm. They couldn't describe me except to point out ways in which I am unusual.

There are some who don't do this, but in general they seem to treat anyone horribly who doesn't behave like them and I just happen to be one of the people who doesn't behave like them. It seems acceptable and possibly even expected among them to ostracize and torment anyone who is not completely "normal".

I was plotted against and defamed and harassed by a female supervisor on the front end at my workplace, but I transferred to grocery and that problem ended instantly. She still gives me icy stares when I come in to start my night shift or when I am shopping but she no longer has any authority or say over me and she knows she lost. I smile everytime I walk past her and chuckle to myself upon seeing her evil look.

Whenever I hear people laughing behind me I think they are laughing at me, because I am messing up some normally obvious social convention. It is even worse when I see them actually looking at me. It tends to put me into a bad mood at school and dislike the people who are laughing.

Sometimes I see certain people in a certain group stop talking and look at me with an expression that tells me they are trying not to burst out laughing. I sometimes wonder if they know that I am attracted to this girl they know...

Sometimes I do wonder if the whole world is some huge plot cooked up against me that everybody else knows about, and reality is nothing like I imagine it. This is mostly trivial philosophical speculation though; considering the possibilities.

I am pretty paranoid and suspicious of people at times.

I used to feel this way all the time growing up. In fourth grade I always assumed I was being talked about or watched. I still believe that and I used to worry about if someone was talking about me so the last thing I needed to hear was "Mind your own business" when I ask what are they talking about. It felt like I had no right to know they were talking about me. Maybe they weren't talking about me and I assumed they were so it would have helped if they said "We're not talking about you" than being rude but maybe they didn't know that's what I was thinking so they thought I was being nosy so they were rude about it.

In my teens I thought no matter where I go, people will always know I am different and treat me bad. At my job in Montana, I kept getting massive complaints about my "rude" behavior so I thought they were targeting me and trying to pot against me just because I had different written all over me. At first I was just thinking maybe they do this to all housekeepers so I asked my co workers if they get complaints about them and they said no. I felt frustrated so I decided maybe they do this to laundry people only, ones who go picking up the laundry. But in the back of my head I kept thinking all these guests were picking on me because I was different and they could see it.

Every time something bad happened like a complaint or conflict, etc. I always thought I was being targeted. I even remember saying when I was 17 or 18 that the whole world is after me and my mom said "it feels that way to you." I can remember my dad telling me in fourth grade "Maybe they do like you and you just think they don't like you" "Maybe they aren't talking about you and you just think they are" "Maybe they don't think that about you and you just think they do." Then when I worked at the hotel in Montana where I was getting massive complaints, my mom said "they don't know you are different" and she suggested maybe I am not smiling or maybe I am in too much of a hurry picking up laundry so my face gets all red so people misinterpret me and then she told me I don't have a sign on me saying I have AS and have difficulty with personal space so to them I appear rude and they assume I know what to do and where to stand and keep my cart.

Now I have gotten better and I ignore everything around me and don't even assume anything because I don't care anymore, I quit caring in my early teens. Sometimes I still think I am being targeted just because I am different. Online or real life. I've felt targeted on here and still believe I was because of my fetish and because I am different than lot of members here. I have realized discrimination happens in every community and it's part of human nature. People discriminate against someone whom are different than them. It's not an NT thing, it's human nature.

I once thought at my job in Montana this co worker was plotting against me because a couple times she lied to the boss about me but I think they were all misunderstandings thanks to my mother. She told me because English isn't her first language, she may have misinterpreted what I said to her and thought I said "You don't speak very good English" so she told our boss. Then there was something about something else regarding laundry but I don't remember the specifics. So this co worker didn't really lie to our boss and I just thought she did so mom had to speculate what happened to help me out with the situation.

I have the same problem with people walking behind me- if there is a group of people walking behind me and someone starts to laugh, I automatically assume that they are laughing at me. This was not fun when I had to walk around a college campus with 1300 other women- someone was always laughing about something!

I misinterpret things people say to be personal attacks, and i hold grudges forever I think if I ever met some people i knew in grammar school I would have to resist getting violent.

Yeah any whisper I hear when i'm out I tend to think is about me. I have learned to mostly dismiss it.

Most likely you are not significant enough for anyone to "plot against you". That would be true of most of us. What are we? In most cases, not much.

oh yes

Yes, I have this problem as well. I can't stand it when people in groups start to laugh, particularly if they should look in my direction.
Being laughed at and bullied at school triggers this response. Traumatic experiences tend to become etched in the mind. So anything that happens to resemble these negative experiences is automatically associated with these past events and assumed to be an attack.
