I rarely feel like other people (like spies or the government) mean me harm, with the exception of random men when I'm walking alone at night, which I think is normal.

I do, however, often feel like the universe has engineered itself so as to cause me maximum pain, that I will fail at everything I attempt, that God is out to get me and the worst possible outcome to every situation will occur.

Is this paranoia, or just garden-variety pessimism?
