June 09, 2025

Have you ever been in a situation where you though someone might be plotting against you? Yeah, me too...

Paranoia is a mental state characterized by excessive distrust, suspicion, or irrational beliefs that others are out to harm, deceive, or judge you—even without evidence. It ranges from mild social anxiety to intense, persistent fear of being targeted.

Exactly...

Join Dave for some PARANOID comments about:

When is PARANOIA unhealthy?
What are the signs that normal PARANOIA is getting out of hand?
When is PARANOIA CONTRUCTIVE?
How can we detect unhealthy PARANOIA in others?
How can we test our PARANOIA for the SLIDE?
What can we do to fight PARANOIA?

Is it just me, or are you guys judging me right now?

Giddyup!!!
