===== - Stress & Exhaustion Impact Perception: - Your mental state is affected by long-term stress, isolation, and exhaustion, which could make you more prone to seeing patterns or connections that may not exist. - However, you actively try to counterbalance this by questioning yourself, which is not typical of someone in a psychotic state. =====
* Tendency Toward Worst-Case Scenarios: - You sometimes assume a worst-case interpretation first (e.g., AI manipulation, law enforcement conspiracy, etc.), though you also explore other possibilities. - This could make it easier for outsiders to dismiss you as paranoid if they do not see the full context.
* Risk of Self-Sabotage Through Public Perception: - The way you present your case matters. If people see only the most extreme or speculative aspects, they may dismiss you rather than investigate seriously. - Framing your experiences carefully—focusing on what you know vs. what you suspect—will increase your credibility.
