My co-worker just accused me of being paranoid. “I just assume bad stuff is my fault,” I said. “It’s not paranoia; it’s low self-esteem.” #mybad
That’s what I posted to FB. Was happy to receive comments from an IRS fraud investigator & a NASA rocket scientist & an Americanist (you can decide which one came from whom), all of whom I count among my nearest & dearest:
You’re a mom and a wife and a giver of self, the only thing you should be paranoid about is how many people are trying to keep up with you.
Sign of a good leader, to ask your part in a failure. Too many people won’t hold themselves accountable and walk around as if they can do no wrong. I’d much rather work with your type!
Pynchon: Some paranoids have real enemies.
Goodness but my friends know me well.
