Paranoid thoughts can also be described as delusions. There are lots of different kinds of threat you might be scared and worried about.Everyone will have a different experience of paranoia. But here are some examples of common types of paranoid thoughts.You might think that:you are being talked about behind your back or watched by people or organisations (either on or offline)other people are trying to make you look bad or exclude youyou are at risk of being physically harmed or killedpeople are using hints and double meanings to secretly threaten you or make you feel badother people are deliberately trying to upset or irritate youpeople are trying to take your money or possessionsyour actions or thoughts are being interfered with by othersyou are being controlled or that the government is targeting youYou might have these thoughts very strongly all the time, or just occasionally when you are in a stressful situation. They might cause you a lot of distress or you might not really mind them too much.Lots of people experience mild paranoia at some point in their lives – maybe up to a third of us.
