I wonder if any of you too and how do you handle it? I wouldn't‌ say it's unjustified or delusional, if you know what I mean. I just am slightly‍ scared of everything and everyone. I'm relatively young and in my early 20s and I⁠ have developed such a complex structure in the last few years and I handle some⁤ very high-risk clients, it sometimes boggles my mind how. And this is one of my⁣ paranoia.

So I'm obviously encrypting everything, air gapping things and so on. I work in⁢ a very secure manner and privacy (not just financial) is my priority. However this also︀ causes some problems IRL. I don't socialize too much outside of business (with friends/peers), I︁ just don't understand them and they don't understand me. Sometimes however I meet with some︂ people (presumably friends) and I'm just always so paranoid. What if this is a set-up︃ and they will drug me or get me drunk or something and I will talk︄ too much? Of course it never happened. But can I ever know? It sucks. It's︅ just making some things difficult. lol.

hahaa, anyone?
 
Feel the︆ same, especially in the crypto space, double encrypting my pc, sending all my traffic through︇ tor and then exiting with mullvad vpn, being cautious all the time about the sites︈ I visit and what I say on them. Makes you wonder if it is all︉ worth it in exchange for your sanity.
 
Then you should really watch the movie turistas so you'll know how⁠ it will end up when they will drug you.
 
Never heard of this drug before,‌ but it does bring up the idea of using drugs to calm down,
not sure‍ if OP is on but I would assume most people in the space is on⁠ something to calm down.
I take 2mg of alprazolam before I go to sleep.

​

 
I second‌ that

it's for fact that the world is fucked up and despite the nature will‍ inevitably solve this eventually it's not gonna get any better any soon

I totally understand⁠ what the OP feels like, just accept that we are in a Matrix movie situation⁤ in a way and resist
if you cannot handle it try harder or switch to⁣ dummy sheep mode, just don't take silly drugs
 
I've been very paranoid all my life about it, but sometimes you just have to‌ relax and enjoy it. There's a beauty in the paranoia.
 
SLIGHT paranoia?
I suggest the counter-intuitive thing: trying to socialize as much as possible, no‌ matter how hard leaving the comfort/paranoia zone is. Shutting yourself off is a bad idea,‍ I've been there. There's (at least a TED level) research about socializing, confirming it is⁠ one of the main keys to longevity, even more so than the genes are. That,⁤ and sports, body stress, intermittent fasting, certain diets. I would avoid big pharma at all⁣ costs.

As for the world being FUBAR, how is it that nobody finds comfort and⁢ hope in a fact that India's just recently surpassed China in child births? Because to︀ me, that's just another proof that humanity is destined to stabilize it's population at around︁ 10 billion (due to rapid urbanization) very soon and then we're just .. space bound︂ (in the form of Ai most likely)
Oh yeah, p0t sometimes helps, certain strains.

Don't get it...what do you do exactly?︆ Crypto b2b?
 
Like the︆ post above me, I also don't get it. Are you running a Silkroad 2.0 or︇ what makes you so paranoid? And stay away from drugs. Try the wim hof method︈ or a carnivore diet if you want to feel better mentally
 
Just so︆ you know, the more you complicate the process (hoping for better privacy-security), the higher the︇ risk you will f*** up. Had to type that when I read "air gapping". You're︈ invisible to people who deal with air gape activities.

If you're not dreaming about men︉ in cargo pants jumping over your wall you're going to be okay.

Make something up︊ about how you make money, something that people won't care enough to poison you for.︋

I've been in the same position when I first started my Dora the Explorer adventure︌ but I'm past that now. You get used to high levels of stress or stress︍ gets used to you and it uses you.
 
maybe we're just not on the same level and don't have to be worrying about opsec‌ 24/7
or just the same and we just don't let the paranoia and stress consume‍ us whole.
 
in the end I guess it's work like any other. perhaps even very profitable one‌ with good margins and stability if you have a large number of good clients
I just guess difficult to start since there is no structured training program nor guidance how‍ to find clients if you have no personal contacts..
 
step out︆ of the comfort zone.

"Look in your own heart. Unless I'm crazy, right now a︇ still small voice is piping up, telling you as it has ten thousand times, the︈ calling that is yours and yours alone. You know it. No one has to tell︉ you. And unless I'm crazy, you're no closer to taking action on it than you︊ were yesterday or will be tomorrow. You think Resistance isn't real? Resistance will bury you."︋
Steven Pressfield
 
maybe like most of us you are simply neurodiverse. and that's ok.
And in some way⁤ it ok to keep things to yourself, even if they aren;t out to get you,⁣ people like to gossip and worry about those who hear it
any programs recommend to⁢ add extra security/privacy. kinda green on this topic besides vpn
