Are You a paranoid person?
I received the strangest email from someone who was telling me a story about how someone I know has a paranoid notion that someone is watching them. The person that emailed me found it to be hilarious as much as I did. The reasoning that was given made absolutely no sense. That goes to show how people really do get very paranoid and how wrong they can be and it is their perception on what they think is truth. When they think they are so right, it is down right sad as can be for them. Sometimes people take things to seriously or maybe themselves. It must be hard to walk around always thinking people are after you? Or want something that they have? Do you know someone like this? You have to feel sorry for them because they live a life of entrapment. They are locked in a mindset that everyone is out to get them some how. Looking over your shoulder every turn you make thinking someone is there or you may think? Do you get this way with work or relationships? Do you always seem to go to the negative side of the fence? That someone is talking about you? Or someone has it in for you? That your loved one is doing something behind your back? You spend so much time trying to figure it out only to find yourself still wondering? This can be a cycle that goes on and on.
This can really be a hinder in your life if you are one who lives a life like this. I have my theory on how to work through these issues. You would have to let go the notion that people are out to get you. That everyone is not after you and want what you have. You would have to work on loving yourself more. You would have to respect that you have no control over other people to behave the way you feel they should. That everyone is responsible for themselves. This is a control issue. This is where it all stems from. The fact that you have no control over other people. We are creatures of habit. We can always find ourselves back at the same place, the drawing board with the same notion. Unless we take hold of our demons and find out that they really are not demons at all. That they are just a part of us that is looking to be released and does not serve us anymore. Habits can be broken if you really want them too, you have to have the mindset that the behavior is something you would like to break.
The phone rings you think the person behind the call is someone else. Or the person from your relationship is calling disguising. We tend to make up what we are unsure of and add our own spin to the assumption. In retrospect we can be very wrong. As time goes by you can and will see those that walk in a stream of paranoia. They will always point out someone wanting them or wanting to be like them. You will hear the word jealousy alot in their vocabulary. The walls all come tumbling down and nothing is left standing. They cannot help their behavior they really full heartedly think people are after them and want something they have. They believe this even if it is so far from the truth.
So next time you find yourself at a paranoid state of mind ask yourself why? Ask yourself why it is so important to you to hang on to that mindset? Most paranoid people find out in the end they have been wrong all along. That they built mountains out of molehills and what appeared to be their truth really was not. You have to have heart for them because it must be pure painful to always feel that feeling. If you have someone in your life that is paranoid about many things be kind to them. Try to communicate with them and reassure them that no one is out to get them that they are safe.
