Answer 1

Paranoia is not normal and people who have it need medical attention.

Answer 2

Depends if youre on drugs, paranoia is a side effect on drugs.

but i dont think youre on drugs.. its kinda not normal  

Answer 3

You&#039;d have to go more into detail.  

But if you constantly feel that people are talking about you, looking at you or maybe plotting against you, then it&#039;s not normal.  When I say constantly, I mean daily or most of the time.

Paranoia in general is normal in human beings, though.

Answer 4

It is not normal......unless you are on drugs

Answer 5

no, paranoia is not normal

Answer 6

What is normal anyway?! Through life experiences and maybe drugs or alcohol you are bound to be paranoid about certain things. Having a fear of something is in a way like being paranoid, say you&#039;re scared of crowds..if you were near a crowd you would feel paranoia and anxiety about being near that thing that you fear! Every single person is unique and has a unique brain. Nothing is normal and nothing is abnormal. That&#039;s just the way it goes.

Answer 7

I agree with Derk N; it is a matter of definition.  You&#039;d have to be more specific about what belief you think might be over the line.  If you believe someone is out to get you, doesn&#039;t necessarily mean it is paranoid.

Answer 8

Paranoia is, by definition, abnormal.

Answer 9

It&#039;s not normal to be paranoid
