If I didn’t read so many people wrong I would be the nicest guy around. I just feel threatened sometimes. The checkout girl at the pharmacy was looking at me. In a split second I judged her and thought she was trying to get something from me. I got defensive but then realized my mistake and I was more friendly and even though I had forgot my coupon for what I came for, we ended the conversation on a high note and I walked away smiling and she was smiling.
Whew! That was a close one!
Whenever I get an attack of angry paranoia I now try to kill the paranoia by saying to myself “All I’m doing here is power tripping”. It usually takes about 10 seconds or so for me to calm down completely after thinking that thought.
My own philosophy is that sometimes feeling like a victim and getting angry because of it is just cloaked perpetration. Feeling like a victim is sometimes not being the victim, but instead being the perpetrator and not realising it.
Sometimes our unconscious motivations are a tad nefarious.
