Paranoia is a personality disorder. It is a type of delusion, an
unrealistic belief or an exaggerated distrust of people and situations,
which are not based on fact. Symptoms may include suspicions, social
withdrawal, hostility and extreme sensitivity to rejection by others.
Instructions:
1.Retrain the way you think. Have confidence, if you become paranoid in a
social situation and you start to judge yourself too harshly, remember
there are no cut-and-dried rules to socializing. No one hangs on to your
every word.
2. Let things go and stop obsessing. We have all had concerns with
something we have said or someone else has said during a conversation.
We have given the wrong idea to a friend or we did not like a comment
made by a co-worker. Do not dwell or waste time thinking about the
conversation. It accomplishes nothing and only makes you unhappy. Let it
go. Ninety percent of the time, there was no malice intention and the
other person did not give it a second thought.
3. Eat healthy; your diet has a lot to do with the way you
feel. Practice relaxation techniques and regular exercise. This will
help to lower your level of anxiety.
4. Do a reality check. There is no reason that you would be at
any greater risk for being a victim of crime than any other person
living in the United States.
5. Empower yourself--purchase a can of pepper spray, a small alarm to carry with you and sign up for a class in self-defense.
