Do you feel people are plotting against you?

Sometimes, more tired more paranoia

No, I don't. That would suggest that I have a fear of people. You can't really control other people, so that can certainly seem scary and induce fear (anxiety). However, it is possible to work through and process those fears (and past traumas).

Have I been hurt by a lot of people throughout my life? yes.
Have I learned how to better spot manipulation? yes.
Have I learned not to take things so personally? yes
Have I learned how to be more assertive and not put up with other peoples crap? yes.

sometimes, if im in class and people keep saying "shes so ret*d" and laughing and then mock and look at me, but, other than that, i forget people have a consciousness.

I know one person in particular at work plots against everyone, she is just messed up in the head. I know some people on the internet will be the same, because they are ill in the head so now I've narrowed down my participation to just WP and if that gets too much I just take a break.

I worry that my neighbour is plotting against me. She is always putting notes through my door about the fence, it drives me nuts.

I am only worried if I think the other people who are plotting can actually do something damaging. I've always had people spreading lies about me, I am just so used to it now I don't even care any more. You can't stop them.

All the time.

I know that there are a lot of people who will generally use other people as a crutch or as an excuse for not getting their work done. Sometimes people also like to pretend they are martyrs, but to be a martyr somebody has to be doing something bad to you, if only in their imaginations. Those are the kind of people you have to look out for - people who have personal weaknesses that require them to exploit other people for their advantage.

But no, I don't think anyone personally has it out to get me, at least not right now - when I was in school a few years ago I filed a complaint against a professor and the entire school, including the president of the college ganged up on me, falsified records, etc., but at that time I was standing up for myself, rocking the boat. It wasn't just because they arbitrarily didn't like me.

No. I don't think people are plotting against me. I mean, I don't think I'm significant enough for most people to consider me an enemy; they either ignore me or they're friendly.

There doesn't seem to be much cause, on anyone's part, to actually plot anything. I guess eventually if I got to be outspoken enough re. autism rights, I might gather a few enemies, but if I have any right now, they're being awfully quiet about their opinions.

The feeling that people are plotting against you sounds like a really disturbing thing to feel. Even if you know that rationally there's no reason they would--that even people who don't like you tend to avoid you instead of actively plotting--there's no telling the feeling to listen to reason.

Every once in a while when I am extremely tired and sitting with my back to a window I will feel like there is someone behind me, with a gun pointed at me, about to shoot me in the head. But I know where that comes from; I had an obsession with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln for a while, and naturally the idea of an assassin is something that comes to you when you're tired and probably a bit spooked by the dark. It doesn't take much imagination for an over-tired brain to start thinking about things like that. By now, I consider it to be more of an interesting sensation than a frightening one.

yes. i am a huge paranoid.

Paranoia is a huge problem for me. I've only had one friend in the 22 years of my life, and when I was 14 he just walked out of my life laughing and insulting me. I was also pranked very badly in 6th grade and that took a toll on me. I'm always worried that I'm going to accidentally hurt someone's feelings, so I get clingy and super nice and I'm worried that it's creeping everyone out. I get hot flashes and dizzy spells thinking of what people might be saying behind my back. I'm trying to work on it, but who knows if I'll ever meet someone I trust. I can't even trust my own family, haven't talked to them in 3.5 years. My mother got addicted to painkillers when I was fifteen and she cut herself in front of me. Watching her personality change so much makes me feel like everyone is putting up a front, and that they'll flip from nice-mode to mean-mode whenever they feel like it. Yeah, I don't trust anyone. I used to know some people on facebook and in town but I shut down my facebook and stopped getting texts, hiding from them. I'm paranoid about what they're saying about it, if anything at all.
