Are You A Paranoid Aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

At one point, I used to have panic attacks just by going outside. I thought there were people who were out to get me. I used to have the reflexes of a cat, and I'd usually end up accidentially hurting anyone who touched me, just as an ingrained response.

So yeah, very paranoid. Not anymore. The antidepressents blunted me so much I didn't care and now I've got more focus on whatever I'm doing. That helps.

i'm moderatley paranoid

One time I was making some rice with chicken broth and when I was eating it it had a funky taste.

I actually had this paranoid idea that my roomate had put drugs in it but in reality the chicken broth had just gone bad because the fridge was breaking.

luckily for me I dont act on my thoughts since im smart enough to know that sometimes what I think isnt exactly sane.

I'm severely paranoid. I sometimes think that aliens are after me and sending me thoughts. I hate thought insertion! Some days I don't really have thought insertion and other days I get it around 90% of the day. Not auditory hallucinations though. They tell me things and tell me what to do all the time, mainly "go catatonic" or "get the device out of you." Its almost as annoying as my brother. I also worry that the government is watching me for no reason. I used to believe that I killed 350,000 people with my psychic dreams but I no longer believe that. I constantly read that the government is spying on ordinary Americans because of 9/11. I have been paranoid about being spied on since then. I think my phone is bugged and I don't use a credit card because then the government is tracking what I'm buying. I don't buy anything that will worry the government though. I'm not a bad guy. I also think that people around me can hear my thoughts and could read my mind. That is really annoying also I have to be careful in what I think when I'm in public areas.

I have a problem with that word. I like using judicious instead. I like to know in this day and age - what exactly I'm putting into my body, mind and spirit. Discerning is also a good word.

Maybe it's all a matter of language - and we're not such freaks like *they* would have us believe....just a thought.

I'm a little paranoid about food but have good reason to be...

My mother tries to give me things that are years past their due date
My kids get into food and contaminate it.

i am told i am paronoid because i keep thinking people talk about me when there really not. I am getting better at that but i still think it.

LMAO Why do you think I make my own bath stuff? LOL The fact that it sells on ebay and the website is a happy coincidence

I am most definitely a paranoid Aspie...

I'm always afraid when I'm in a public place that I'm being talked about and I haven't noticed yet, and that people are ridiculing me. For example, if I walk past a group of people and they start laughing, my first reaction is shame because I think they are laughing at me. Sometimes I think that people can hear me think or that I say all my thoughts out loud, and others don't tell me. I'll even think loudly to a person next to me to tell me they can hear my thoughts. It's annoying, and I keep thinking I must be schizotypal when I feel that way.

My parents used to try to see what I was doing on the computer (nothing wrong, but I really value my privacy), so I have a lingering fear that my computer's being monitored or that there is a camera watching me. They never actually monitored my computer or installed a camera (I think) so I don't know why I have that problem.

I tend to alternate between being too trusting of people and mistrusting them. It's usually nothing more than cynicism though.

I've always wondered if my experiences would be classified as PTSD or not. I have PTSD-like symptoms, but they step from numerous incidents that took place over my entire life time. Everything I've read about PTSD says that it has to stem from a single recent incident. But maybe that's not true?
