I even thought at one point that it may have been possible for them to place a movment tracker in my watch when it had the battery replaced.
Or that maybe they could place a chip in your brain that could let them see through your eyes.
It's weird and irrational but seems right in a twisted sort of way...
Maybe it's just the Aspie way of looking at all possibilitys.
Or maybe it's just paranoia... One of the two.


Yes, I definitely have delusional and paranoid ideas, similar to those quoted above. Once, when I had major surgery, I was convinced that the surgeon had implanted a micro chip in my body so that they could track me somehow. Often, I feel that my neighbors are observing me, and gathering info. When they have enough, they'll strike... Of course it doesn't help that once I was absolutely right about my neighbors. They had been eavesdropping on my calls to the crisis hotline, and one night I realized how thin the walls were, because I realized that they were repeating things that I had said, and mocking me. While I'm aware that some of my fears are far fetched, who's to say for sure which are valid and which aren't?

Oh dear god (small g god), everyone is speaking in the exact tone of my friend.. or are you? Perhaps none of you are real people and just my closest friends spying on my online activity. Maybe I should just throw my computer in the river. Maybe you are all enemy agents just looking for the one slip-up so you can nail me for some made up charge and lock me up and all my thoughts until you've broken my happless spirit of all it's inspiration and I am no longer a threat to you and you're master plan to take over the world, one thought rebel at a time.

Lupin,

I agree. I don't particularly like this motivational speaking trend. I find a lot of these people very egotistical. I prefer reading stories about people who have actually accomplished something in life, and take my inspiration from them.
