when go to the firework festival he doesnt want to go on the bridge because hes afraid it will collapse??
at night past 12am he tells everyone to turn off the light because he doesnt want people outside to know that we are the only apartment in the building awake?
Answer:
these two things don't seem to be related. He's just a little over cautious. Perhaps he feels that in the area in which he lives, it isn't the best idea to advertise yourself at night.
He may just not like putting himself in a situation which poses any risk.
I wouldn't describe him as paranoid, paranoia is a symptom of musch more serious disorders, if he thought people were watching the house at night or were trying to harm him, this is more typical of being paranoid.
he might be affraid of hights or lights?!
He is paranoid. Or better put.. he is living in fear. Perhaps do to a traumatic experience(s).
I am thinking when he was a child he may have been brought up to believe that such things are real. Some parents can seriously make a child believe something all the way through there teens, my suggestion would to be talk to your Friend about his childhood, see what he has to say, he may need counseling which is not a bad thing.
hmmmmm.. A little paranoid I think?
Symptoms of Paranoia
The main symptom is permanent delusion. It should be kept in mind that there is delusion in schizophrenia also but in that case it is not permanent or organized. In paranoia the symptoms of delusion appear gradually, and the patient is sentimental, suspicious, irritable, introverted, depressed, obstinate, jealous, selfish, unsocial and bitter. Hence his social and family adjustment is not desirable, and while he has the highest desirable, the effort that he is prepared to expend is correspondingly little. Here the person does not acknowledge his own failures or faults, and by sometimes accepting certain qualities as belonging to himself, even when imaginary, he develops paranoia.
The "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", fourth edition (DSM-IV), the US manual of the mental health professional; lists the following symptoms for paranoid personality disorder:
i do not think some thing is wrong some people do think this.
He is in a witnees relocation program and is really scared.
He could be in the beginnings of paranoia. Encourage him to get help.
Just a LITTLE bit paranoid don't you think? Make sure he doesn't own any firearms or knives.
He may be paronoid or hiding out from someone
Sound like he is paranoid does he smoke weed or do other hallucinate drugs?
i would say it is most likely from his childhood maybe he doesn't even remember experiences that caused the parinoya(that's spelled wrong) but they have affected his brain and how he acts it's nothing to be alarmaed about a therapist could talk and "awaken" the inner child and possibly "quiet" these fears if it bothers you that much they seem to be little things that you could just adapt to, but you never know if they could grow into something you know? but it just seems to be something from the past that has haunted him a while
He's definitely feeling insecure.
Does anyone he's related to, know anything about what may have caused such irrational behavior?
Plane and simple Paranoia
This guy needs help, Find a way for him to speak to a shrink(psychologist)
i don`t think it`s paranoia...many ppl are afraid of bridges...and about the lights..why don`t u ask him?he might enlighten u better than us:)
maybe he is just a little sketchy and that is a form of OCD but you as a friend which i am assuming you are should either deal with it or if it bothers you that much then don't worry about hanging out with him... he probably just has lttle things that make him scared is all it's very normal now a days
