Yeah, Mock. It can’t just be a case of being paranoid when it ends up being true and people have been being talked about in the way that they were worried about. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophesy. Can represent serious mental illness in the extreme but can also be genuine reality that being cynical and jaded is just a natural follow-through result from and of. When you’ve been through the lows of smear-campaigning it can sometimes hardly make sense to be any other way, and it can last for years. You might just become more and more bitter (or at least cynical) as the years go on, because you’re used to people out there treating and talking about you badly.
