I don't think you quite grasp what being paranoid entails. Just because you say you laugh at it and don't experience it negatively doesn't make you any less paranoid. You sound deeply paranoid and I should know because I too was deeply paranoid a few years ago. It was a horrible and frightening experience for me so I am pleased you are at least experiencing it positively by the sounds of it.

I had zero trust for anybody and in my mind everybody was conspiring something, everything in my mind had an ulterior motive, even something that most would consider harmless.

I couldn't trust anything I was reading or watching and I went down little rabbit holes trying to theorise the motive behind whatever content I was currently consuming. Unbeknownst to me I was coming up with delusional conclusions but ultimately felt right in my state of paranoia. Like how you suspect that every poster is trying to push a narrative or convert readers into their "cults". Perhaps middle_path just wished to connect with people to discuss Taoism and perhaps discover others who follow it?

I am not advocating the blind acceptance of every piece of material you consume, rather I believe having a good dose of skepticism is healthy and everything should be taken with a grain of salt. However when you see it as everything against yourself you lose sight of those who could potentially be on your side simply because you paint everyone with the same brush.

I hope you are able to find your way and I welcome any negative remarks you wish to make, I understand they are a coping mechanism to offset the fear.

I am not sure what SRS means but you won't believe me, I am sure of this, in fact you will probably think I am attempting some sort of reverse psychology or perhaps just playing dumb.

What exactly am I damage controlling and why do I need to do it? I couldn't care less about any reputation I was simply hoping to help out. I can sense you're not open to anything so I don't plan to say anything else about the matter.
