theewhitetiger asked:
I think paranoia is more "suspicion of everything"...rather than a fear...?
If you want to get technical, I suppose that’s accurate. Yet, isn’t suspicion a result of fear? Fear is a universal human emotion that all people experience, so wouldn’t our fears (especially if we are afraid of everything) naturally lead us to behave in a way where we were suspicious of everything? I would argue yes, and that we are both correct, from a certain point of view (see if you notice what I did there.)
