The second thing that I believe is most likely the case, is that everyone is giving you tough love. They do care but they see no other option then to be tough on you. I've seen this a lot. They want your friendship and hope that putting up a wall between you and them will be motivation for you to help bring down the wall.

Now it's really only up to you if you believe you are paranoid or not. Sometimes people get labeled paranoid because not everyone can see what you see. But that doesn't mean what you see isn't there or that it's not true.

I'm paranoid but I don't wear it as a label. I use it as a skill. I can see and think things that no one else thinks. I also have learned when to keep my paranoid thoughts to myself and when to share them. Is not easy all the time but you do your best to grow as a person.
Thank you. It's great to get support from someone with paranoia. The thing is, I keep 'zoning out' and that's what has made them worry. I sort of leave the real world for a few minutes. And I've spoken to a councellor but refused to go again after she asked me if I felt stable, as I thought that that meant she thought I was insane. My best friend said he's only doing this to make me see that I do need help... Thank you again, so much.
