can anyone help with this persistent paranoid idea
anyone help with trying to see things from another perspective??
i've had a persistent paranoid idea a lot of my life where i have this 'fixation' that women and girls i'm attracted to who i want to meet and interact with, are being told to avoid me and have no association with me? or they're being prevented from interacting with me.
i've never had proof of that persistent idea, only that i've never had a girlfriend all my adult life, never had a relationship and missed out on interactions with women i wanted to meet all my adult life....i have had psychological problems all my adulthood too....and my loved ones have said ' that is the reason you never had the interactions you wanted or never met girls you wanted, or they never approached you because of your mental problems '.
and when i get that reassurance, that nothing or no one has stopped girls from approaching me etc, it helps and the paranoia goes.......but then the paranoid ideas comes back and i get fixated again on this idea that women are being told not to interact with me or being stopped from approaching me and it makes me feel very enraged and outraged too? because how dare anyone do that to me???
again, i have no evidence this is happening, but can say, i hardly get any interactions online from women or in real life, could that be evidence that my persistent ideas are right?
any thought or help would be valued.
