My paranoia related to poor theory of mind

I sometimes have a prosecutory complex, due to sometimes misinterpreting people's intentions and believe that others are plotting against me and I get scared!

  • Same here.  Unfortunately often it's true and people are actually plotting against me 

  • that's normal. and sometimes true. but you shouldn't be scared.

    read or watch something about double empathy, that's the reason behind 

    misinterpreting people's intentions
  • I have the same condition.  I read somewhere that ASD people don’t think or know that others have bad feeling towards them, they just fear it.  Fear is the Pharaoh.  It forces me to believe what it says is true.  I don’t have an option to distrust fear.  I am compelled to believe all fears if they occur to me.  My only evidence for something being True is not sensory: it is fear.  Do I have Fear about something?  That is sufficient evidence for its existence. I guess if a fear exists for me I somehow automatically trust it as ‘the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth’.

    I am powerless over my fear.  I know the rational situation is as follows: ‘Fearing the worst is only fearing the worst.  The fear is not sufficient evidence for ‘the way things are’.’

    But that’s easier said than done.

    Therefore I  have to do something that’s not feeding the fear.  The best food for my unshared fear is to keep it unshared, unexpressed.

    Reading and writing here are types of acts which are real.  They are not fantasies.  They do not feed my sickness which lives in the realm of my problem -the seemingly comfortable, controllable and familiar fantasyland prison of my mind and body.  I need my actions to  bring me to the powerful shared space where others can help others. 

    I get the Power I need from outside my own head.  For example: this forum -at this moment- is that Power because I’m tap-typing in Hope.
