Do You think People are out to get you?
I did get it that you are speaking in a general sense.. my question was also not pointed at you.. actually it should have been .. why should anyone consider themselves so important that the world is after them..
I mean people are busy with their own drama in life to actually be all out to get someone.. unless there is something really wrong..
I would consider someone paranoid if they felt that the whole world is out to get them.. unrealistic and irrational fear.. first symptom of a psychiatric condition.. Once in a while some people do feel that way.. especially when they are depressed ,.. but if it continues over a period of time .. time to meet the psychiatrist
No offense meant there.. I guess you know it
I think you wanted the religious or politics forums.
The natural homes of paranoia here are those two forums.
In general, maybe a person should ask himself if he could be wrong. Paranoid personality disorder involves thinking everyone is out to get you, among other mental-health conditions). Then again, sometimes people really are out to get someone.
Then, too, sometimes people who aren't particularly "out to get you" act in ways that can make you feel like they sure are (even if you know they care about you). So, I guess it really depends on the people, on whether it's EVERYONE you think is out to get you (or just a few close relatives/friends/co-workers). Maybe that's key: If you generally get along with most people outside a particular circle, and if you generally don't think absolutely everyone you run into is out to get you; maybe that's one measure of whether it's you or something someone close to you is doing/saying. 
(Sometimes people who care about you can have some pretty misguided ideas, approaches, beliefs, and inability to know when to draw the line on themselves - so it isn't always "you". I guess one other way to get a reading for yourself (about whether you should see a psychiatrist) is to look in legitimate reference material about paranoid personality disorder, and paranoia (two different conditions); and ask yourself if you have any of the other difficulties shown as symptoms.
Another point is that there is such a thing as "gas lighting", which (you may know) is when one person mistreats or wants to control another, and aims to make that other person feel as if he's the one who's "imagining things" about how the control freak/psychological abuser is behaving. (So look up "gas lighting" too. That term came from a movie made years ago.)
If you think someone like the bus driver, mail man, or your dentist are out to get you - that's a completely different thing (and seeing someone is probably a good idea).
Yessss... I hear voices... and I know they're coming for me... but I'm better than Buffy. I can handle it!
