Pronoia describes a state of mind that is the opposite of paranoia.
Whereas a person suffering from paranoia feels that persons or entities are conspiring against them, a person experiencing pronoia believes that the world around them conspires to do them good.
Basically I feel lucky to be alive. But now I think it’s more than luck.
I’m just posting about it because posting normally makes me see sense whenever I have unusual beliefs.
sometimes i think i just bumble around (or whatever the word is) and life gets me lucky. but also i look at my life and can see most people wouldnt think im lucky. so its all in ur head if u are greatful for things u will feel lucky and like the universe means u good and if u look at the negative u will feel unlucky. i got a free drink and a free ice cream cone and i was like yep im so luckily lol
I believe the universe has my best interest. But I had to fight through a lot of suffering to grow up. Nowadays I really don’t complain much.
I believe in karma. Do you? I’ve always done good for my karma. Never sacrificed my integrity to hurt people. Life has turned around a bit for me.
I brought up to my friend a situation when i was younger and she said “just because people are poop-heads doesnt mean you have to stoop to their level”
I realized I always tried to live by that philosophy and now life is damn good.
Consider it luck? I don’t personally.
My mom/dad hopefully recognize the goodness in me too. Even though they’re some of the hardest people I deal with and i dont feel im always as patient as i should be to them. Ive never done anything to intentionally hurt them. And i definitely dont ever show them up
I think its good youre feeling optimistic
I’m not sure what to think. I would think it would would be better than paranoia.
But I think the most healthy state of mind is the middle ground. Neither being paranoid or unrealistic expecting the best.
Its good to be optimistic, but it can be taken too far, IMO.
I dont know. Maybe I’m wrong. Im not a psycholigist. I just wonder if expecting everything good may lead to disappointment in the future.
Better to hope for the best but be prepared for other and try to adapt when/if it comes, IMO.
there is no pronoia really. it is just a paranoid state. paranoia doesnt have to be distressing, it is considered a paranoid delusion that people are watching you because you are famous
