>>7182666>against going to the doctorsRemember, these people go to school just like most other white-collar schmucks these days; the guys who prescribe things or make diet/lifestyle recommendations, etc. have to draw from publicly available knowledge, a pool of knowledge that doesn't permit reliable mind-control, with occasional exceptions like hypnotism, and so-called "truth serums". If you go to a doctor and say, "help me treat the problem, not the symptoms", a competent doctor will then only prescribe medicine to attempt to compensate for a suspected imbalance in your system, and they will be transparent about it if you ask; most people don't give a shit about the details, so the doctor won't tell most people. This should give you confidence in your doctor, which would help with
>your paranoiaAssuming the paranoia is entirely psychological, it can be overcome by doubting not what other people do (pretty much paranoia by definition), but by doubting yourself. By constantly challenging your perspective of everything around you and then resolving these challenges, you can be honest with yourself about how things really are, regardless of how you feel on the matter. You can then take this honesty and apply it to everything, especially in analyzing the risk that others pose to you.
I expect that, if you do this, you'll realize that in most cases people aren't prone to hurting you, and at the end of the day they just want to get the job done and put food on the table. As long as you don't automatically expect anything above this, you won't be disappointed in people too often. The real issue is when problems arise without people even trying to cause a problem, i.e. unintended consequences of their actions, or of the actions of many.
