It's not paranoia, it's common sense.
It's not paranoia, because (((they))) really ARE out to get you.
There's a difference between paranoia and skepticism. Actual paranoia is an irrational belief that people are engaged in some act or acts with nefarious intent, where skepticism is a doubt about the veracity or accuracy of a statement. An irrational belief is a belief that isn't falsifiable. If someone tells you that NASA is engaged in a conspiracy to trick the world into believing the Earth is round you have the first element of paranoia, but not the second. If you ask them, "What evidence could be unearthed to convince you otherwise?" and their answer is that there is no possible evidence that could convince them otherwise, then you have the second element.
In summary, their belief meets both criteria of paranoia:
A skeptic just has a doubt that is completely reversible in the face of evidence. If you say, "I'm not sure the Earth is round," and are willing to accept evidence that it is round, you are a skeptic and not a paranoid.
I'm skeptical about your heterosexuality
Very well said and great points.
What if I told you "paranoia" was a word weaponized to mock those who are in tune with their intuition
Oy vey! It's antisemitic to notice that.
What if I told you that all risk is comparitive, and every decision is a comparison of two or more risk. Every decision. And that paranoia is meant to not label those who are fearful but those who make decisions around risk poorly. If you are making good decisions around risk and being called paranoid for it, it is actually the other side that is paranoid. Because of this symetry any accusation of paranoia can but turned back on the accuser.
So I'm not paranoid about evil pharam injecting me with a poorly studied vaccine. Others are so paranoid about a virus that they are willing to let them. I lack paranoia to the point that I am willing to wait for and act on properly conducted research. I'm keeping my head on my shoulders. Are they?
And common sense: 'there are some young nigger bucks on that street corner, I should avoid them'.
Unless I wanna buy some crack, them I'm like 'yoyoyo homies, what's good? Sheeeee-it mayn'.
That sounds just like my hubby!! I love it, thank you!! 😊
Oh, are you a coalburner?
I had a therapist that told me I wasn't paranoid, but cautious. I tell people. I'm just cautious when they complain about my so called paranoia. That usually makes them stop and think for a second.
Once more people find out what schizophrenia really is, they will be revered once more instead of being mocked, tranquilized and isolated.
Paranoia is a survival mechanism. For example: around blacks, NEVER relax.
Paranoia is a mental issue you don't want to have to deal with, contrary to popular belief it doesn't help in any way
perfectly described the fundamental problem with paranoia https://poal.co/s/TellPoal/484154/7b2e9fdc-ba43-4304-85b7-50f0a21b7e74#cmnts

Irrational vs. rational paranoia. It is rational to believe that every nigger you see is thinking about robbing or raping you. It is irrational to think a filthy paper mask will save your life as you are driving your car, alone, with the windows up. Niggers never bother me, but I am paranoid around them, always.
>It is rational to believe that every nigger you see is thinking about robbing or raping you.
No, it's not rational. That's starting with the premise that all niggers think about you. They couldn't care less about some guy they don't see/know
Now if they see you... Depends...
Define nigger?
If clarence thomas or ben carson are niggers to you, then it's not rational to believe they are thinking about robbing or rapping you, even if you're in front on them
>It is irrational to think a filthy paper mask will save your life as you are driving your car, with the windows up.
Yes
>Niggers never bother me, but I am paranoid around them, always.
Context matters. Walking around in chicago south side at night while being white is pretty suicidal. Hell, even during the day while being black
On some weekends the murder rate goes near 1 per hour
*paranoia will destroy you!! I was destroyed a while ago, lol!! *
and exempt from taking it themselves.
Yup.
