What is being paranoid?

12 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Paranoia : Is when deep shame is projected outward and you begin to feel that people are out to get you or know your most embarrassing secrets or have a vendetta against you and are scheming to hurt you. It can include feeling that people are reading your mind or that they can magically steal thoughts from from your mind or that the tv and radio are talking about you. It can take many other forms as well.

Feeling people are: Talking about you or plotting against you even though they are not. The condition gets worse over time and leads to significant problems in relationships.
