What causes paranoia? Options

[happinessx]

Well, I'm paranoid about my my MSN and MySpace being hacked, because it's happened once before, and I'm still withdrawing from the..things that were said about me pretending to be me, by the hacker.

I'm also slightly paranoid about things that people say about me; I HATE backstabbing with a passion even though I am hypocritical because I do it without knowing.

Help? =/ It's not a severe case.

Hm, good question. You know, I used to be a pretty paranoid person, too. My friends tried to be nice about it. They coddled me. They never came out and told me I was being a jerk, so I never got over it. I never learned to accept myself.

And then one night my friend, this girl that I also liked, just came out and told me I was being a "bastard" most of the time. And sure, at first I was upset—but then I realized she was right, and thanks to her honesty, I was able to take a good, hard look at myself, and realize what I had been doing wrong.

Moral of the story: Sometimes you have to tell your loved ones that they're being little bitches.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's cool to try to be nice to people and help them. But maybe your boyfriend just needs someone close to him to come out and tell him the truth: that he's being ridiculous and he needs to get over it.

yes, this is true... juat becuase I said to chow that you love him doesn't mean that you have to act like it's not a big deal. Sometimes loving someone involves telling them off when they are wrong. I mean, it doesn't mean you cuss them out, but It does mean you have to tell them how it is. You can tell him he's being unreasonabe without flippng out, btu at the same time let him know your serious. You have to tell your loved ones when they are doing you wrong. It's the only way they will ever know enough to stop.

Lotte. Those are kind of just normal paranoia issues. Of course onces its happened before your going to have the fear of it happening again. You just got to get over it. And believe thats its not going to happen again and once you've gone through expierences then you learn something and what to look for in people so it doesn't happen again.
