What causes a person to become Paranoid?

[WaveWhisperer]

Living in a city with a 3% black population

 

[BornStar]

TV, upbringing.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Past trauma and bad experience with something.

This is the answer. Also through learning of others experiences and then always seeing the worst. I’m afraid of wild animals because of what I’ve seen online in videos but people are around them daily and breathe easy. Think zookeepers and shyt.

My lack of experience makes me paranoid cause I don’t know what to do in any situation

 

[The Guru]

That alcohol is not helping.

Mental illness?

Past trauma and bad experience with something.

Living in the hood. It’s kept me alive and out of jail so far though. Situational awareness is 99.

Op, some bad weed will do that to the mind and nervous system.

Always thought this was somewhat hereditary as well

Insecurity/lack of confidence/past trauma

you know u been moving wrong and something or someone coming for you

TV, upbringing.

there’s no one size fits all answer…all of these can be true and have factored into my paranoia at times

Let me add when there's a private eye that is watching you when you're in involved in a divorce case with someone's wife.

Suspicious car outside my crib


Already snapped photos and wrote down the license plate number on the sneak


Need to install a good cheap camera set

What's a good choice?

I know the one time I was super paranoid was when me and my boys once kicked some guys ass cause when your boy is in a fight you just jump in. anyway while we were kicking him he kept saying ' i know all of you guys faces. I'll get all of you.' I basically for a while was looking over my shoulder non stop. It was tiring. Can't live like that.

Your mind at ease now or still tense waiting on them to return?

My mind is at ease. It happened over 20 years ago plus I ran into the guy again. We grown now as well.

[Fill Collins]

Self-aggrandizement is a factor too

I know plenty of mf's without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of who are convinced they're important enough to be stalked

Add that with drug use, bad coping skills, and the consequences of being impulsive, there you go

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

He’s been low key stalking you like prey for over 20 years

and now he’s ready
