Well, you wouldn't, would you? Otherwise you wouldn't be paranoid. Symptoms of Paranoia The main symptom is permanent delusion. It should be kept in mind that there is delusion in schizophrenia also but in that case it is not permanent or organized. In paranoia the symptoms of delusion appear gradually, and the patient is sentimental, suspicious, irritable, introverted, depressed, obstinate, jealous, selfish, unsocial and bitter. Hence his social and family adjustment is not desirable, and while he has the highest desirable, the effort that he is prepared to expend is correspondingly little. Here the person does not acknowledge his own failures or faults, and by sometimes accepting certain qualities as belonging to himself, even when imaginary, he develops paranoia. The "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", fourth edition (DSM-IV), the US manual of the mental health professional; lists the following symptoms for paranoid personality disorder: preoccupied with unsupported doubts about friends or associates suspicious; unfounded suspicions; believes others are plotting against him/her perceives attacks on his/her reputation that are not clear to others, and is quick to counterattack maintains unfounded suspicions regarding the fidelity of a spouse or significant other reads negative meanings into innocuous remarks reluctant to confide in others due to a fear that information may be used against him/her Paranoia[^]
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Everybody is all of those things with the level of intensity for each emotion varying depending on life circumstances. There is a reason people feel those emotions, they exist for a reason.

But you were born into a country run by "lying manipulative control-freaks". To my sure knowledge, every president from JFK to Obama has been a "lying manipulative control-freak", and over that period Congress has been run by "lying manipulative control-freaks". The problem appears to be that the electorate has long accepted Antisocial Personality Disorder as a desirable trait in their politicians.

No, it makes it the norm for the USA. Live with it, it will never change. If you cannot cope, I suggest that you emigrate to somewhere safer.

Please, oh please don't suggest this. There is only one country with tolerance for this type of fool, and that is Canada. We have enough of them already.

Thanks for stating the obvious. It is when those emotions are exhibited without reason that paranoia is indicated.

Obviously your paranoia would lead you to that conclusion. "Like a circle in a spiral, Like a wheel within a wheel; Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning reel ..." Another turn round the block?

Obviously you are an idiot. When I was a teenager, I would balk at the idea that there were bad people in the world, and I thought the government was a nice institution that was full of good professional people that were there to take care of everyone and protect us. I developed this mindset after many years in the government training centers. They and the media instilled in me a fear of those who would dare to speak out against authority because those who spoke out were the bad guys.

Paraphrased: As a teenager, my mindset was that of a five year old child of over-protective parents.
