I was set up with this guy, but he was way too new agey. He took me out to a vegan restaurant and insisted that I close my eyes and feel his energy fields. Is he for real?!?

Lisa is such an HSP, she gets annoyed so easily. She kept complaining about it being too bright in the restaurant, and she kept talking about her sweater being too itchy!

pronoia

The delusion that people think better of you than they actually do. The opposite of paranoia.

Phil thinks that he is indispensable at work and that his superiors and colleagues adore him. Sadly, this is a case of pronoia since he is totally incompetent.

Melanie has a case of pronoia because she thinks everyone looks up to her, when in reality, people think she's quite obnoxious!
