I clearly had paranoia and anxieties towards shrinks after a trauma in a psychiatric hospital.

the problems was that asking for clarification didn't helped at all, because those shrinks continued talking in there therapeutic language I didn't understand.

The only thing I could do was leaving the situation.

Now I have a shrink who can talk normally to me, so that I can understand it and I'm not paranoid towards him.

So it has to do with bad experiences AND not being able to understand fully what's going on.

I think that video is quite accurate.

It's a common scenario. I don't agree with the "paranoia" word there, but 'missunderstanding' is a better word in this case. I like the solution, to just ask. Most people should, if you ask what was meant in those situations, understand that you simply don't understand jokes or irony that easy and won't hopefully pull more of them.

Not really a case of paranoia for me. I definitely get the misunderstanding part, though.

I think, well kinda true. First it's "just" a missunderstanding, but I experienced it myself after a traumatic incident, that I got paranoia after such situations.

I can relate completely to it, this happens sometimes.
They say to ask for clarification. I have to ask my gf a lot and i tell her to ask me if i am not clear with my spoken words.

Yeah I can definetly relate to this situation ALOT, probably too much. Sometimes its not just a statement someone says, its more like just a tone that they might set off. I'm sure asking for clarification can help a lot of situations, tho I am not sure if it helps my body language clarification. Like if someone tells me to do something in a harsh tone. There words were fine but maybe not the tone. I get the message but I become really iffy about the person.
