PARANOIA...

He arrived on time, and the talk hadn't even started. He saw what the speaker was writing on the board:
"Delusional Disorder." Well, he thought, "What do you eat this with?"

As he began the explanation, the psychotherapist, whom I'll call Carlos, said that this disorder used to be called paranoia.

Now I was beginning to understand, and I remembered that in the house where he grew up, some of his aunts would say to another person, "You're paranoid." He didn't quite understand what that meant.
As he grew up, he realized it referred to when someone suspected something about another person, usually something negative. He distrusted everything and everyone.

So he grew up with the idea of never appearing paranoid. He decided to trust others. Of course, he's taken some hits in life because of this tendency to trust, but between being very trusting and being paranoid, he prefers to continue trusting.

This is a completely fictional story based on a conversation with a friend about his visit to the psychiatrist.

"Delusional disorder" or "paranoia" is a much more complex disorder that requires medical attention.

Those who are behave totally different, I can tell you as a therapist..

It sounds in this story more like a phrase to make someone shut up or as in saying: It's not true, you made this up (even if ut's true) let alone of fantasy and creativity be killed by saying this.

How come no one says this about minusters, kings, teachers, journalists, Gates, Mysk, social media? If it comes to it we all live in a fake world and are spied by.

Wow! This is very interesting. As a therapist, you gave me a clue I hadn't considered.

I thought people with paranoid syndrome, which is a mental illness, couldn't control who they suspected and who they didn't. However, from what you explained, it seems that people with this syndrome can choose to judge or suspect others based on their social status or importance. This is what I understood from your explanation.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

¡Wow! Esto es algo sumamente interesante. Como terapeuta, me estás dando una indicación que no tenía presente.

Pensé que las personas paranoicas, al ser este un trastorno de enfermedad mental, no tenían control para escoger de quiénes dudar y de quiénes no. Pero, según lo que tú me explicas, pareciera que la persona que desarrolla este síndrome puede escoger según la posición social o de importancia que tengan otros para juzgarlos o para dudar de ellos.
Esto es lo que entendí de tu explicación.

They can and it all deoends on what triggered the next "reaction" at times there for example only the idea of being watched... which is innmany cases true. But they dmduckband hide for example between cars if they see certain people or see the devil if a family member arrives or walks by.

Interesting is the reason since nothing starts out of the blue.
