there are a lot of things that could cause it outside of a disorder like social isolation and smoking shmeed

Oh also, i think i experienced paranoia when I was scrolling on TikTok/Instagram reels way too much since you can’t really intentionally choose what you watch and it just was a whole information overload. Stopped ruminating/experiencing paranoia as much when I stopped scrolling as much and started intentionally choosing what content I wanted to watch. Just in case it helps you

I think so? I get paranoid about politics, classes, or just walking by people, but I also have an anxiety disorder, so it could be that.
