Paranoia

[dummycake]

Yes. It will become the talk of the fae tabloids and lead to a new genre of fan fiction.

We will be the face of a new generation of the fae folk.
The old fae will try to create new laws against our love but the young fae will cut their wings in the town square while the children fae will watch but not understand in the moment, but they will remember and look back as the moment the fae world changed. Changed for better? Who knows. That's a story for another time...

That sounds like the opposite of imposter syndrome. If the feeling persists, get help.

the among us syndrome

I really want that to be the name. If the feeling persists and doesn't go away after like, a month or two, then I'm totally calling it that!
My hope is that it goes away though.

I don't really care too much. Online friends are cool, but Idc about them as much as what I do and who i know irl.

You can still recognize it as paranoia your ok

Lately, I've been feeling like there is no way that my friends here online are the same people as just a week ago. Not philosophically, but that someone replaced them and is trying to dupe or trick me. I know that isn't the case. But whenever they compliment me, it feels like they must be assholes who picked up my friends' laptops trying to mess with my head. I hate it!!! Do you guys ever feel that or is it just a particularly odd strain of paranoia for me?
What are some issues that you guys uniquely struggle with?

I'm not sure what the cause of this might be.
Maybe you are having a hard time trusting?
Maybe you are using emotions too much over logic?
I think a sure foundation that you can have faith in might be important.

As for my struggle, i balance my desire for attention versus the importance of loving and serving others. Easy to be selfish, not easy to be selfless.

I'm feeling Tzeentch today.

The original tryhard. We don't talk about him. Remember high school when that one kid walked in and everyone just got quiet because if you brought up how creepy he was, he'd just throw a fit, so it was easier just to ignore him until he went away? Yeah, that's Tzeentch.

Self-awareness doesn't make it okay, but it does make it easier to get help.

Do you have this with irl people or just online? Because online does have this fleeting feeling of impermanence

 

[HelloHound]

fortunately (or unfortunately) I'm the only me I've got; I can try to be meaner if you'd feel more comfortable

Just online, but I also haven't interacted with irl people outside of my family since almost 2 weeks before the feeling began. As a result, I wouldn't know if I would feel it with irl people.

I think getting out more might actually help a bit- make you feel more grounded. Are there any irl activities that you enjoy doing?
