The paranoids worst friend.
I've blogged about being paranoid before and I've blogged about the internet before. Here's a dose of both.
The internet is terribly open and anything put online is easily findable and very hard to hide. Paranoids have a strong belief in what I'm going to call the Absolute Truth. The Absolute Truth is what reality is made of. We perceive reality in a certain way but this way isn't the actuality because we taint it with out perceptions. Paranoids (well me at least) try to get as close to the Absolute Truth through gathering and cross checking information. The internet has LOTS of information. If there's a particular person I want to know about, I can usually find out a lot about them through the internet. I don't really like doing this but the ability is there and sometimes it gets hard. Another way paranoia manifests itself is in jealousy. Jealousy is paranoia with a goal, and that's when it gets really tough.
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth.
