Pronoia

Pronoia is a mental condition we should all have.

Pronoia is neologism that is defined as the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having a sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to help the person.
It is also used to describe a philosophy that the world is set up to secretly benefit people.

-AH Simkins

My pronoia kicked in when I realized that it only takes a few months to learn a new language, and not several years.

Now I feel more courageous to learn yet another language.

Pronoia

The unreasoned belief that everyone is out to help you.

When she goes to bed at night, she doesn't lock her front door ... she's got a bad case of Pronoia !!

My dentist did a great job ... he filled my cavities with mercury amalgams, and then gave me a fluoride rinse. I don't know why my Naturopathic doctor is treating me for Pronoia ?!?!?

Jenni's pronoia convinced her that small pixies were out to sprinkle her with fairy dust and feed her cookies.

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!
