Who Else Has Paranoia?

Yes, and then you get into an anxiety spiral, where you get tense and insecure and that makes it worse (both the bullying gets worse and your fears get worse).

So sorry to hear this. I think that professors are out to destroy me, but then again, they have done things (illegal things) to destroy me. What it is, is from time to time, one bullies me when I won't be their girlfriend. And all it takes is one professor in the environment to set out to destroy a college student, to succeed, because no one will stop him. Certainly the school doesn't interfere. So I think all male professors have a potentially evil, perverted side that can turn them into destroyers-of-me at any time, and schools look the other way. And I think I'm not far off the mark. The reason I feel this way is because they consistently act that way.

It's hard to break the cycle of insecurity and anxiety that starts once the bullying sets in.

You are not imagining that this is bad -- bullies get pleasure out of what they do, it's not something that is in your control. You have to survive this period in your life -- get through the tunnel to the other side.

If it's any consolation, bullies often develop into as*holes and losers when they grow up, while the kids they were trying to beat down develop into more talented people. The bullying they are doing today is shaping their brains development toward stupidity.

Good luck.

You're probably correct; negative life events caused by others, plus the inability to read people via the many verbal and nonverbal cues one with an ASD so happens to miss, will create a paranoid individual in many cases.



I wish that were true.

My paranoia has increased tenfold over the last few months.

I'm the equivilant of a cat that jumps 5 metres when someone shakes a newspaper. I am paranoid about everything. And it's starting to show more and more as of late.

Me too. I'm hypervigilant & hypersensitive.

Well, I'm just paranoid.. I don't actually jump at noises a lot, it's more with other things.

At the moment my paranoia is so bad, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to be in a relationship with someone, and very difficult to be friends with people.

It all becomes too much. I just burst into tears tonight, no idea why, but because I just can't take it anymore.

I'm always worried of what people think of me out in public. If I might tick them off to the point that they attack me.

I'm also worried about things like future horrible world wars, stuff like that. I never really do anything about this. Just worried.

I'm also really worried about my relationships with other people, if I said the right thing or wrong thing. Funny thing is, I never worry when I really say the wrong thing.

I'm very paranoid of other people and it only seems to get worse. I don't really trust anybody anymore. I think a lot of that comes from actually being betrayed so much, though. But a lot of it, admittedly, is completely irrational. But I just can't help it...
