BlueCircuitDragon<p>Influencers Can Trigger Paranoid Gang Stalking Delusions in Their Followers</p><p>I saw something trending on Google’s search page, and as someone who takes antipsychotics (though I don’t experience manic episodes), I feel the need to remind people that sudden, out-of-nowhere claims about inventing something world-changing, followed by cryptic, paranoid posts about being targeted, and then disappearing from social media are often signs of a psychotic break.</p><p>These behaviors, like expressing grandiose ideas that seem completely disconnected from reality, followed by paranoia, are common indicators of psychosis. People going through this might believe they’ve made some groundbreaking discovery or that they’re destined for greatness, even if there’s no logical reason to think that way. When those big, inflated thoughts are then followed by paranoia, like believing they’re being watched or targeted by mysterious forces, it’s usually a pretty clear sign that someone is struggling mentally.</p><p>What often happens is that a major social influencer spirals into gang stalking delusions. This can trigger similar delusions in others. The influencer might start posting cryptic messages about being watched, tracked, or persecuted, creating a ripple effect of paranoia among their followers. This is especially dangerous for those who are already vulnerable to these types of delusions or are dealing with their own mental health issues. What you end up with is a group gang stalking delusion, where everyone starts adopting these paranoid beliefs together.</p><p>It’s also important to understand that psychotic breaks don’t all look the same. For some people, it might mean pulling away from social media entirely, deleting accounts, or disappearing for a while because they feel overwhelmed or unsafe. For others, it might look like erratic posts, everything from wild claims to obscure, paranoid statements. But statistically, if you see someone making big, grandiose statements, like saying they’ve invented something revolutionary, and then acting paranoid, like thinking they’re being watched or targeted, it’s highly likely that person is experiencing a mental health episode.</p><p>These breakdowns can happen to anyone, but with social media being what it is, they’re often way more visible. When influencers or celebrities have these episodes, it’s in the public eye, which amplifies the effects on both the person experiencing it and their audience.</p><p>If you notice someone in your life going through these signs, especially someone you care about, approach the situation with empathy. People experiencing this kind of breakdown need proper mental health care.</p><p>If you or someone you know is going through something like this, please encourage them to seek professional help. </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/bipolar" target="_blank">#Bipolar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/bipolar-disorder" target="_blank">#BipolarDisorder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/delusions" target="_blank">#delusions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/gang-stalking" target="_blank">#gangStalking</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/mania" target="_blank">#mania</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/manic" target="_blank">#manic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/mental-health" target="_blank">#MentalHealth</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/mental-illness" target="_blank">#mentalIllness</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/paranoia" target="_blank">#paranoia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/parasocial" target="_blank">#parasocial</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/psychiatry" target="_blank">#psychiatry</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/psychosis" target="_blank">#psychosis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/psychotic" target="_blank">#psychotic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/schizophrenia" target="_blank">#schizophrenia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/schizophrenic" target="_blank">#schizophrenic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blue-techno-dragon-sphere.x10.mx/archives/tag/social-media" target="_blank">#socialMedia</a></p>
