Paranoid

I find myself getting paranoid from the littlest things. But when it comes to relationships, the paranoia is always there. It could be something as simple as not getting a text back within a couple of minutes. I think they're probably busy and try not to worry. And then my mind jumps to the worst case scenarios if I don't get a response in the next couple of hours. Do you think paranoia can harm a relationship?

I have the same problem i start to worry and think like what if i said something or did sonething wrong, i think it harms a relationship...well at least it did for me

It depends on your significant one. Some might be touched by how much you care, while others might find it grating and think that you're suspicious of them and don't trust them. Get to know their preferences well!

Yeah, then you think now they probably hate me and how to fix what you did....even though most of the time you did nothing wrong ^^'

@fenris That's true. Sometimes people think worrying is cute in a way

As a person who is paranoid, I say that it can potentially threaten a relationship (Of any kind). It's hard to have a relationship with someone if you don't trust them. Something that has helped me with this problem is reaching out and talking to the people I'm having problems with. It's not always easy to take someone's word, but it can help to put your mind at ease a bit. I would also do my best to avoid jumping to the worst case scenario. Repeat some nicer things to yourself or take a few minutes to really sit and think about what you may have said or done. You might come to realize that what you did is not all that bad.

There's alot of paranoia for me at the beginning of even the most casual non-romantic relationship. Sometimes it prevents me from going too far. Sometimes expressing my paranoia drives people away (rightfully so) Once you're in the relationship stage it's darn important to keep that in check. If you feel paranoid you need to figure out if it's an emotional wound you haven't dealt with yet or their actions. Communication is paramount. Here are some cookie cutter steps when the feeling gets serious: 1. Tell him how much you love and appreciate him 2. Tell him what bugs you and why it does so. 3. Open up the discussion so he can talk. Both of you work out a solution.

Know what you mean. I think you just gotta learn to trust your partner. You could also try to communicate your feelings with them, hopefully they'd try harder to give you the reassurance you need.

I'm not relly paranoid. Is qute fun see the IP's aglomeration around me. I think I want someone that have been rejected because of that to talk a bit. How can I trust someone is Cheating on me. Oh girls. Be carefull. Never wish that to anyone, even In my case I asked to be the second, before Wake-up in hell Once.. I was in love..

Paranoia to a certain level is normal. You'll always worry about loved ones and such. However, when paranoia turns into mistrust; that's when it becomes an issue. You need to take a good long hard look in the mirror and figure out where and or why you feel that way. Once done, talk it out with your other. Not doing so will destroy your relationship. P.S. Do not hold onto past baggage.
