Strava paranoia

The feeling a competitive person might experience while using the app Strava: uncomfortably haunting, being watched, followed and judged by other competitive Strava users (strava wankers) based on one's performance.

Might ultimately provoke performance burn-out and/or loss of enjoyment of recreational sportive activities due to a predominantly kudo-focused attitude.

Simong: Hey guys, you heard that Fred said he wouldn't enjoy cycling anymore and is private on Strava now?
Kongo: Yeah, the poor lad suffers from severe Strava paranoia and can only enjoy exercise with top performance levels on Strava.

Bystanders Paranoia

To feel fear, or to feel threatened, from a situation that you have little control over or that you are not directly affected by. The overwhelming fear is usually not caused by the situation itself but by people exaggerating information to make you obsess over what's going on.

Bystanders Paranoia (or Citizens Paranoia) is different from feeling legitimate fear for yourself and your loved ones due to an outside force that has a significant of hurting you.

Bystanders Paranoia is fear that is, most of the time, brought on by political discourse, in which news sources and journalists over-hype to get you to feel more dependent on said news sources.

The fear will then cause the affected to spend every moment of their time focusing on nothing but how the news tells them to feel about the situation, afraid and unsafe.

Those affected by Bystanders Paranoia will be unable to recognize that the people telling them these stories are only manipulating their fear to get them to listen to more monotonous, disingenuous reports on the situation.

Boy 1: I'm kind of worried about Leann, she been doing nothing but watching CNN and reading ABC News for days. She always seems like she's terrified of something.
Girl 1: I think those news channels gave her Bystanders Paranoia. Poor thing.
Boy 2: I fucking hate journalists. All of them are fags.

acute Sunday paranoia

A temporary but intense feeling of anxiety, dread, or irrational fear that occurs specifically on Sunday, often in anticipation of the upcoming week. This phenomenon can be linked to the "Sunday Scaries" but is characterized by heightened paranoia, such as excessive worry about work, social interactions, or personal responsibilities. Symptoms may include intrusive thoughts, overanalyzing past or future events, and a sense of impending doom that fades once Monday begins or responsibilities are actively confronted.

I hate having acute Sunday paranoia especially when the boss is a tyrant!

Paranoia

A darkside now known as a light side named Virgil Sanders or Anxiety before he revealed his name to the other sides.

Also I am pretty damn sure that he and Janus (Deceit) are brothers. Change my mind, bitch.

Logan: you’re just para-
Virgil: *stares*
Logan: expressing an unhealthy amount of concern.

I have to say paranoia
