Paranoia

Paranoia (par-a-NOY-a) refers to either an unreasonable fear of harm by others (delusions* of persecution) or an unrealistic sense of self-importance (delusions of grandeur). While paranoia is often associated with a severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, people without such illnesses can have paranoid feelings, think that people are talking about them, or have difficulties trusting others.



So, as you know we are moving to Portland, Oregon and to our relief, we just found somewhere to live. We are going to be in an apartment just outside Portland in Beaverton. Beaverton is probably one of the nicest areas of Portland and it is BEAUTIFUL. Anyways, online you can read reviews about your apartment complex and see why all these crazies hated every minute of living there. Well, one that we read had us laughing our heads off. Anyone can respond to the comments a person leaves and someone (a manager) responded to this PARANOID woman's comment:


Crazy Woman: Don't rent here! There are children running wild and screaming outside and the police are here everyday in the office and I know it is because of the crack heads that live here. There are men who walk around without shirts on and women in their swimming suits. Not a safe place to live.


Manager: There are children around your apartment because you live by the playground. The police officer is my brother and he stops by to use the office bathroom. And, we do have a swimming pool located in our complex.



Oh man!! I think the only person we have to fear at that place is this lady! Hilarious!

WOW!! That is really funny!-you guys better watch out. It sounds dangerous! Can you imagine if this woman lived in some big crime laden city-she would go more crazy then she already is. I was a little confused about the creepy looking girl on your post (oh I hope that's not someone you know, now that I just wrote that)-is it the daughter of this crazy lady??
I am glad that you found a place to live, and I am glad that I will get to see you soon!
