Why am I so paranoid over nothing?
I am constantly paranoid about my relationship. I have been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years and you would think I would be over this "what if" stage but I cannot seem to just let it go. I love him more than anything, we are in college and whenever he starts school I get so nervous because I am so possessive and jealous. I have some insecurities that most definitely need to be worked on however my trust issues are pretty much gone. It is not that I think he will cheat, I am just scared to lose him in any way! help me overcome my fears. I do not want to constantly think something bad will happen to him :[
How do you stop being paranoid?
Kill the people that are spying on you? :) Seriously, the only way to stop being paranoid is to stop being paranoid. It is a choice you make to allow this feeling to overwhelm you. Take control of yourself and your life. When you start to feel paranoid about something, start a dialog with your brain. Ask yourself questions about what it is you're feeling that way about. Then figure out if the conclusion you've jumped to is really the most reasonable or if it is just simply the most sensational, therefore, the most fun for you. Take control. Get to the bottom of why you are feeling that way in each situation the feeling arises. Analyze why the paranoid conclusion is the one you find easiest to jump to and then present yourself with a more logical and reasonable train of thought. It's not a fluffy answer, I know, but the only way to get out from under this is to take control of your mind instead of letting it control you through irrational emotional responses to everything.
Why do i get paranoid about nothing?
I've got a certain girl in my life, and things are awesome whenever I am with her. But something just goes off inside me when I'm not. I over-analyze the tiniest things and just feel so unsure whenever we are talking through text or facebook or whatever. It's not even about her stepping out, it's just ridiculous paranoia about her losing her feelings. I don't know if it's because of my past relationships or not, but I just feel so unsure about everything. Anyone ever experienced the same thing or can offer a decent explanation to give me peace of mind?
HIV test: Am I just being paranoid?
I took a rapid blood test for HIV at the local Planned Parenthood men's health clinic. This was over a year post-possible exposure. The results were negative and the guy said I have nothing to worry about and that the test was accurate. But I sometimes think what if I really was positive but he didn't wanna have to break that to me so he said I was negative. He showed me the little testing device (it had one line) and said if it had one more line, it would mean positive results. But I go back and think what if he showed me a false testing device. The guys at the Medhelp website assured me my results are negative. So am I just being paranoid? Can I forget this worry and put it behind me?
Is she losing interest or am I paranoid?
Ok, I have been hanging out with this girl for a little over a month now. We have talked about how we enjoy eachother company and have been out together alot. Well, recently I have been worried she is losing interest. Texts are shorter and less frequent, We don't stay out late, and I was out of town for a week and I didn't get any "miss you" or anything. I initiated all the conversations. Plus, she said she wanted to talk about a few things. When I asked hopefully good things? she said... I have just had a few things on my mind for our little chat. Thats it. Then she rescheduled our date from this Friday to Saturday because she "had" to babysit. Am I worrying over nothing here? I am affraid I may have moved to slow or something. Cause I haven't kissed her yet because I really wanted to get to know her well. It just seems weird we were talking about going to so many places, watching her favorite movie "the Notebook", etc... now im feeling a weird vibe. Thoughts?
What's worse, being paranoid or knowing that one should be paranoid?
Well, I'm going with knowing you should be paranoid and not. “even a hero knows when to be scared..” I think that was Linkin Park or something. Anyways, if you know you should be scared, and paranoid, yet you aren't, it could be a bigger sign of something isn't right.Like I also know I am crazy. My sister is crazy, and is a worse kind of crazy, and it's because she thinks she's normal. She has to seek out drama, she needs the center of attention, and it doesn't matter who you are to her. She will drop you at the drop of a hat because you do not do what she tells you are supposed to do. Or you don't worship her, or something like that. It's really bad, and really just insane. And I can't describe any of this correctly because I've always distanced myself from her because I know she's not right.and I think this in recent years has been the closest we have been. But, she's now just partially realizing how crazy my mother is, and how much I dealt with. She's trying to get empathy from me, and I just don't have it. Like umm… welcome to the club. Because I really can't tell her anything else, or feel bad for her. I thought she knew what I did, but apparently not. I always thought I got the worst of my moms maltreatment but umm… I think no one stopped to really think about it.But to think yes, I'm paranoid, or yes, I'm crazy, is a better position. You knowing that is a way to start to ask questions. To start to get answers to why your paranoid. When you can't get the question of am I, or should I be paranoid, or why am i not paranoid right now, can be something yoyally different. As far as, why am I a woman walking down a dark alley way at night?? Well that could be more, I didn't grow up in a big city, or around a big city that I know something could be in a dark alley at night. Which KUDOS!
Is there anything bad if I am always a little bit paranoid?
I completely understand the situation you go through. I definitely make it sure that it gets sorted. Its nothing wrong to be a little bit paranoid. But if you really want to work on it, there are many ways:-1. Overcome pessimism- Ask yourself how likely it is that the pessimistic thought you're having will come true.When you're expecting the worst, consider all of the possible outcomes of a situation, not just the most negative ones. Then, you'll see that there are many possibilities in virtually every situation.Try to combat each pessimistic thought you have with two realistic thoughts. For example, if you're worried that everyone is laughing about your shoes, consider that 1) it's unlikely that a pair of shoes will keep everyone laughing throughout the day, and 2) it's more likely that a new, hilarious cat meme is making its way around the office messaging system2.Stop obsessing over every little thing.Keep a journal that tracks your paranoid thoughts. Reread it weekly. This can help you not only unload some of your paranoid feelings in a more healthy fashion, but it can also help you see that some of your paranoid fears were completely unfounded when you read back over what you've written3.Stay busy4. Learn to take criticismThis will definitely help you and there is nothing wrong to be a little bit paranoid. You are a human being not GOD.Good Luck!!
How can I stop worrying so much about everything and look paranoid?
I dig this question ;) ok check it out. Paranoia implies that you are worrying about something, the outcome of which is not necessarily in your control. The trick is to reason it out, and truly internalise it.For example, you're smoking a joint, and you're paranoid the cops are going to turn up any minute now. Ask yourself this question, is the fact that I'm worrying about this going to magically stop them from coming if they were meant to turn down the street you're on? No, of course not. So basically you are worried about a hypothetical situation. Cos maybe they are, but also maybe they're not.So basically, you being paranoid makes absolutely no difference.Let's say that you're paranoid, and they really do turn down your way, now what? Because you're paranoid, you'll have this paranoid look on your face, will be unable to react appropriately, and will probably get busted. Whereas if you weren't paranoid and chilled out, you might be able to chuck the joint on time and still look calm enough to get away with it, they might just drive by without even giving you a second look.Basically, you need to realise that paranoia truly doesn't help the situation. It only makes matters worse. As what's going to happen, what's meant to happen, will happen regardless of whether you're paranoid or not. It's a wasted emotion, and a waste of mental energy. And all it will do is mess up your high.Unfortunately, me telling you all this won't help, unless you are truly able to reason out what I am saying, and internalise it.It's like sitting at home every day worrying your house is going to collapse at any minute. But youre still sitting inside your house. So if it does collapse... youll just die in a paranoid state. Whereas if you weren't paranoid, and your house collapsed, at least you'd die in a happier state :)Bottom line, either way you still die. And all your paranoia would have done is made you die while being paranoid. Hehe.Anyways, hope this helps, I dunno....Just remember, it doesn't help worrying about something when the outcome is not in your control. You're just wasting energy, emotion and brainpower which could be put to better use.If you can't internalise what I'm saying, just try thinking happy thoughts, white bunnies, rainbows, flying ponies, I dunno, whatever does it for you I guess :p
Is something wrong with my navel piercing or am I being paranoid?
if you got sensitive skin you should cut back on sea salt, that might be drying it out, but if it starts pussing start useing the sea salt once a day. you will feel it inside of you until your body gets use to it. you will know if its rejecting by the scar, it's position on the skin will start moving leaving a scar trailing behind to the original location. full rejection is rare, what is more common is the body shifting the jewelery to a more comfortable location. remember if it is infected the worst thing to do is take out the jewelry, its alot easier to get rid of an external infection than it is to get rid of an internal infection. any good piercer will be more than willing to answer any follow up and aftercare questions, so if your still paranoid then talk to your piercer or any competent piercer at any competent studio.
