Paranoias

[Vaelarsa]

We already have hates, likes, and unpopular opinions, so share with us your current, past, or ongoing paranoias, fears, and worries.
Doesn't have to be super serious, but doesn't have to be super light, either.


For instance, I'm always worried that there is soap in my glass / bowl when I pour liquid into it and see bubbles. Sometimes, I still don't trust my tastebuds, and worry that I'm drinking soap, even though I'll still keep drinking the thing.

 

[Jabberwocky]

it's gonna sound a bit bizarre, but when I go to the bathroom, I am paranoid about having my things drop into the toilet. I remove all electronics and stuff out of my pockets, because the thought of having those items no matter how worthless they may be drop in the watery bowl of doom is scary to me.

 

[Schwimmwagen]

I'm always terrified of and constantly trying to protect myself from losing an eye.

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

I'm pretty paranoid about leaving the house/room when I'm the only one there for fear that it will burn down in my absence.

Everything must be unplugged, I have to check the bathroom 5 times to make sure the tap isn't on and the shower isn't dripping.

And then there's the hair straightners that I just switched off that are still hot...

 

[Sutekh_the_Destroyer]

Whenever I play football (the soccer kind) I'm paranoid about the ball hitting me full force in the face if I get too close to it.

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

I'm paranoid that there might be the smallest traces of radioactive metals with an extremely long half life on my hands, or somewhere else on my person, after being half a metre from them in a Physics class 4 years ago, and that they might still be ionising me.

 

[DarrylWolf]

Paranoid about whether or not what the alternative medicine people said was true. I remember hearing from them that certain plants are shaped like body parts to indicate that they are good for that specific body part. I used to think that they were crazy but once I actually read that walnuts are good for the prostate, certain edible mushrooms can be aphrodisiacs in men, and oysters are good for female reproductive health, maybe they were right, after all. Because the walnut is the same size and shape of a prostrate, mushrooms are phallic, and oysters have a vaginal appearance. Now, I'm certain there are chemical compounds that make these foods good for the body that go beyond the scope of Chinese herbalism but I still can't help but think maybe these specific plants grew in such a way to tell us which body part they'd be good for.

Although such a belief may be the reason why Chinese poachers are killing the rhinoceros and elephants of Africa to sell their phallic-shaped tusks and horns to herbalists. Imagine- people could be so hedonistic as to kill elephants and rhinos because we thought their appendages looked like penises and therefore, they must have been to increase male potency in Southeast Asian peasants who don't have access to real medicine.

 

[Jags]

I get paranoid about the state of my privacy. Everything electronic I own has password locks, all different kinds of password for any site I use, and complete separation from login names and my actual name. I even cover the camera on my laptop when I'm getting changed if it's on.

 

[TobyDingo]

Paranoid about getting colds. When someone sneezes within 15 feet of me, I hold my breath for at least 25 seconds.

 

[Jabberwocky]

blah blah blah

no.

I am paranoid of people who are sick from the stomach. I go full nOPE mode and I just dont want to be around them. If someone even mentions puking, I will not hesitate to force you 20 feet away from me. behind a closed door. in a soundproof room.

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

I'm paranoid about the sporadic water drip sound coming from behind my bathroom, but I'm too socially awkward to go to the office and tell them I'm concerned about it.

 

[Vaelarsa]

I'm paranoid that my hair is going to catch on fire when I use the hair dryer too much.

But it has happened to me before, so that's probably justified.

 

[Heliophobic]

There's a corpse in the bath tub hidden behind the shower curtain.
There's a foot fetishist at the end of my bed.
Something will always begin to chase after me right before I exit a dark room.
There's a centipede hiding between the shower curtains waiting to crawl out into the tub as soon as I get in. This has happened at least once.
Anyone that is softly laughing within a 50 ft. radius of me is laughing at me.
There is someone watching me from the window behind me.
People can hear the music coming from my headphones no matter how quiet the music is.
There is a psychotic naked man waiting to pop out when I'm in a quiet room for too long.

 

[TheMetalVelocity]

I'm paranoid about everything. I am an extreme worrying, nervous person.

 

[Keeroh]

This is gonna sound weird, but I'm paranoid about dying/being abducted/comatose/vegetable in the hospital- NOT for fear of death or the bad things there, no. But for fear of people going through my stuff when I'm unable to moderate it. Like, I've had near-death experiences, and all I can think is "Oh my god I would have been dead and they would have gone in my room and I haven't done my laundry and my bed is messy and there's buckets of porn on my comp AAH"

Being dead is not as scary as people going through my stuff. :x

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

Anyone that is softly laughing within a 50 ft. radius of me is laughing at me.

Oh my god, this.

I spend the next hour thinking "well fuck you, I like dressing like this."

 

[Batty Krueger]

it's gonna sound a bit bizarre, but when I go to the bathroom, I am paranoid about having my things drop into the toilet. I remove all electronics and stuff out of my pockets, because the thought of having those items no matter how worthless they may be drop in the watery bowl of doom is scary to me.

Ive known so many people that have dropped their phone in the toilet, I even know a guy that knocked hos netbook into one. I don't ask how, but it seems to happen a lot. What you have isn't a paranoia, it's common fucking sense.


Im never really paranoid other than elevators breaking, but that would be because I'm claustrophobic.

 

[Distorted]

I'm paranoid of coming off as incompetent in public.

When I go up to the clerk at a store I rehearse what I'll say in my head. And then when I hear something unexpected, I get all flustered and start saying more than I should. It's also the reason why I listen more than I talk to others as well. I just hate the feeling of saying the incorrect thing. Then I go and mull over it for the rest of the day.

I worked at a movie theater for one week, because I couldn't take all the corrections and rushing. I felt like an idiot up there, and had a damn near had a panic attack after every load of people that came in. I hated that place.

 

[Kitsune Cross]

I don't want anyone from my family to know I'm a furry, I hide it as much as posible

 

[Jean Kirstein]

I'm paranoid that everytime I go into the bathroom when it's dark out slenderman will be in there.

Like sometimes I'll see a flash of him.

 

[Phyllostachys]

I am paranoid about making mistakes. It-

Well, it seems that someone already posted something similar.

 

[Dire Newt]

Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me.

-When people I don't know around me laugh, I feel like they're laughing at me.
-I'm terrified of wasps. Whenever I go into the bathroom at my house, I check for wasps. Whenever I hear a buzzing sound, I worry that it's a wasp.
-I always feel like people don't like me.

 

[Scath-mac-tire]

I get paranoid about the state of my privacy. Everything electronic I own has password locks, all different kinds of password for any site I use, and complete separation from login names and my actual name.

Used to be very paranoid about this, than I started forgetting my own passwords and had to stop, fearing I would make an infinite number accounts and never remember my passwords

Anyone that is softly laughing within a 50 ft. radius of me is laughing at me.

This, always this

I don't want anyone from my family to know I'm a furry, I hide it as much as possible

I'm terribly paranoid about people finding out, I came up with the craziest scenarios before making this account, then did it anyways knowing it wasn't true.

I'm also EXTREMELY paranoid about any of my writing, it's vary rare for me to even give close friends a peek at my book, and when they do look at it I always use the unimportant part.

 

[Nashida]

no.

I am paranoid of people who are sick from the stomach. I go full nOPE mode and I just dont want to be around them. If someone even mentions puking, I will not hesitate to force you 20 feet away from me. behind a closed door. in a soundproof room.

Me too, to the point it's actually a phobia of mine.

 

[Aggybyte]

I'm paranoid about my stepmother finding out I'm furry.
