Being paranoid like that can stem from past experiences. Depending on your situation, it may be completely valid.

I do not feel like that is a normal feeling. Why would you come to those conclusions? In some ways, that is a sign of psychosis. Also, you can never make a generalization that every person on earth is out to get you, that is not reality.

It is normal to think that, but that's just common fear from either past things and people in your life and just daily life. But you don't want to brainwash your brain into thinking that. You will be okay, there are good people out there who want to change you into a better person and not hurt you. Feed off of that positive actions and people.

What is normal? No it is not usual to think everyone is out to get us but sometimes when we are down or things are not going right it feels that way. If you feel like this try and think about the last time someone actually did something bad against you.. when you normally put something in to perspective you realise it was probably long ago, and every day since you have been fine. Think instead what recently has someone done nice or neutral to me. This list will out weigh the negatives nearly all the time.

To be 100% honest, it's normal to people with anxiety disorders. For the normal population, however, it's called being paranoid. It's okay to have an anxiety disorder, but please talk to a trusted adult and seek counseling. It has helped a lot of people, including me, and it should very well help you. Thanks!

It's normal to distrust people in general or people who have hurt you before, trust issues are very common. However its very important to remember good people who only wish best for you.

Paranoia isn't uncommon, but can be a sign of mental illness, which should be taken very seriously. I'd suggest reaching out for help if these thoughts persist.

That depends. Do you have factual reasons to believe that or do you suffer from anxiety and/or depression which can make people prone to feeling this way? Take a deeper look and if the latter is the case, ask yourself if you are bothered by it enough to have to speak to someone.

I think it would depend on the situation, but it could help talking to someone to help try and figure out the root cause of why you feel that way
