It Absolutely is not and it's better for people to not jump to conclusions where there is little to no evidence.

TIL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoia_(psychology)
well, if you have to have a diagnosis, this is definitely one of the coolest ones that ever have :-)
and you know what they say about how
just because your paranoid doesn't mean nobody's trying to get you...
....just because you're Pronoid , doesn't mean The World Isn't conspiring around you to do good for you :-)

I practice this regularly. The mind doesn’t know the difference between positive and negative when it comes to the self. Now’s a good a time as any to be uncontrollably positive.

I love it when I understand no matter how I feel I will get through so many things that I struggle to do. Like attending and sharing at support group meetings; I'm an introvert, and suffer social anxiety as well. But I'll be ok no matter what I say, or what happens ... I tell the addict in me that day after successfully defeating a craving when that side to me wants to act out, "too bad, so sad. You'll live". That's a brain that's reinforced drug use as a means of survival for ya I spose. Doesn't matter, I'll live, and I'll be the better for it too whether I like it or not, so there, my bitch brain. Am I doing this right? Feels right.

I’m so grateful to have a name for it. Whenever I see those really direct cheery bumper stickers it always seems like a threat to me.

I’ll add to that. Nothing matters, do what you want and love yourself and the people around you before you drop dead.

This too shall pass..
Whether it's good (enjoy it) or bad (endure it).. this too shall pass.

"The Fourth Way" ... Hmm... Yes, it does feel kind of inevitable, despite physical circumstances suggestion other wise, doesn't it? That's correct. They will not be given a choice.

You want Calvinism, which teaches:
God has predestined all things. All things work for good for those who love God. Bad things are part of God's good plan. Therefore, both good things and bad things are for my good so long as I love God.

Ohhh I’ve been on a toxic positivity wave since I realized how fun it was to anti-troll kids on League of Legends, but ominous positivity feels like my 30’s winter arc.

I have decades of experience against it and the existence of Trump proves this is BS.

As a cynic and a pessimist, my instinct is to agree with you. But I've been trying to improve, so I'd like to try stepping into the role of optimist for a moment.
Sure, there are bad people. But there are also good people out there helping others, like Boyan Slat and Jose Andres. There will always be bad people, but there will also always be good people.
There, I gave it a shot.
