“I’m curious, which of the two of us is better trained and more experienced at diagnosing clinical paranoia?”

Which of the two of us posted worries about loud sounds then went on to state concerns about:

“—sugar highs
—sex
—runner’s high
—workaholism
—alcoholism”

I only spent 10 years in clinical sciences but my focus was on the biochemistry of inborn errors of metabolism so I make no claim to being a clincal psychologist, but if YOU’RE one...never mind...better left unsaid.

That must be a fascinating field to work in. Did you get into insulin etc?

I’m used to personal assaults . . . particularly hereon.

Most folks have not had anything close to my diverse experiences.

Most folks have not had anything close to my fields of intenseive study as hobbies.

And, most folks have not had anywhere near . . . well . . . I’ll stop there.

I will note that

Lots of biases color perceptions wholesale.

And, seemingly almost everyone thinks they are the best psychologist on the planet.

Fears and paranoia are interesting topics.

As are the assumptions about them.
