Is my paranoia a bad thing? I tend to get paranoid, often when walking outside and telling myself that "I'm paranoid". Generally nothing happens, but the feeling of discomfort and alertness is there. Is this really a bad thing? I don't want to pop any pills for this shit, but I just want to make sure that I'm not fucking myself up by being "expecting the unexpected" or just being worried that something will happen based on little to no info. I tell myself and others that I wish I could carry a handgun for protection (though it's pretty much impossible for me to get a permit here). I've been mugged once, though I didn't lose anything, now when a group of people walk by me I tense up my fists and body to deter anyone from attempting to fuck with me (though I'm physically weak as hell so they would probably be able to fuck me up anyway). I just wish I could feel safe outside, but I'm not sure if I should accept that I never will be and I should stay alert at all times.

It's probably not worth it to take antipsychotics just for that, OP. What's your social life like?

I'm generally quiet, but I have a decent amount of very good friends. Not looking for a gf right now.

have you considered therapy?

youre paranoid because youre a weakling. go lift some weights and you'll get better and more comfortable in public. dont medicate over dumb shit.

That's part of the reason why I have been lifting.

I've considered seeing a psychologist, but I might try in a few years (I'm hoping that by buffing up by lifting the fear will go away). I don't really need a therapist, but it might be nice to talk this through with someone as well as my other problems.
