Induced paranoia is still paranoia. But sometimes what induces them might not be in the regular world at the present.
It could be from the past triggered in the present – like mine. But I would argue those who are paranoid for “psychiatric” reasons. Probably are reasonable in context.
Absolutely do not “snap your fingers” or snipe with “Come back to reality”. You’re making the situation worse!
As a curiously relevant side note.
An Ai trained with my writing can indeed mimic me. But it’s based on my digital life since my first computer. When I was in 6th grade.
If an AI can write as well as an expert and her different literary voices (as mine changes per book) I am apparently bigger than Shakespeare in adding to our language.
Quite the statement. Sounds like we could do with delving into the idea of self preservation under duress.
You need an ego. And you need a strong one to be successful. When someone says “to get over yourself” what are they really trying to accomplish?
Whatever
I have books to write. It’s in my soul. My identity. My everything. My past is only survivable as a writer. And a dig crushes my desire to live, my method of coping. My desire to communicate at all anymore. Hurling abuse about an Ai trained with stolen work can destroy me in a second.
“Haha to you too, bitch”
(She thinks ruining someone she never met is funny)
Anyway the point of the side note on a side note. It doesn’t reflect well on the asshole tearing you down instead of building you up and everyone (including laughing girl) knows how to skewer me into a suicidal sense of despair.
This is why I thought they were trying to kill me. Some of us feel they’re ruining my sense of humor as well.
My other coping method.
As an example of triggered or induced paranoia, it works. And when I say anything at all several someones here chime in. If it’s positive I’m attacked.
I can’t survive this.
And it’s making me paranoid.
