Are you suspicious/highly-observant of your surroundings?

Not paranoid. Only stupid, easily taken people think that being hyper-vigiliant equals paranoia. Fools. I suspect that everyone I see on the street (except little old ladies or handicapped persons) are capable of harming me and might try to. Are you like this?

I'm observant, but not suspicious. If I see some big guy walking down the street towards me, yeah, I notice him, but I expect him to walk past me.

Just because the whole world is out to get you doesn't make you paranoid.

More so than the average person, I have no doubt of that. I'm not paranoid though. I can tell I am more so than the average person because for one thing I rarely bump into people and do stupid sh*t like get in the way of people all the time. god if I had a nickel for every moron that has no idea there ar epeople behind them, or a car about to hit them if they don't move their fat ass, et.

No I'm not. Sometimes I can relax so deeply that I can walk into a theater past the line and ticket taker without him or me noticing that I have. It's lots of fun to go back out and pay after this happens. I find in hastle zones, it helps to build a wall of consentration, deep focus, or inner intention not to allow anyone to intrude on my awareness.

Yep. It's not that i'm afraid of anyone harming me most of the time, it's more of an acute awareness of what's going on.

Yea, actually, I'd say I almost border on being paranoid. I'm pretty shy too...not the kind who goes up to people I don't know and says Hi.
I don't know, maybe you people can tell me what's wrong with me and how to cure it. :confused:

You'd be better off getting a lobotomy than listening to us brudda ;) and you'd still have more intellect and free will left after the lobotomy :D

I am but it comes out more when I drive, which has also helped avoid a number of accidents because of it.
