I suppose I should have read this before posting just now...but yes, I think I can relate. I don't get paranoid about mind-reading/getting in trouble, but definitely experience the 'everyone is in on it' feeling. Your post also reminded me of the many times I genuinely feared my parter was secretly a sociopath who was trying to trick/humiliate me. I posted about these fears almost a decade ago (on a much less savory forum, ie., Craigslist) and was told to kill myself before I end up hurting someone else due to my false beliefs. Needless to say, I never brought it up again (until recently).
