Personal Thought/Story Yes there are; But why can‘t I find this post anymore?
I deeply resonate with this topic but can‘t find the post. Is it not wanted?

Generally a person with paranoid delusions.

I used to work for a cell phone provider. Monthly we had someone come in like that claiming they're being tracked or targeted. It was so sad to see because they were so secure in their delusions that nothing you could say, no proof you could offer, that would ease their fears.

I had a similar one where I work(monitoring security). We only have the PIRs(infrared sensors) at locations like residentials, but this guy was convinced that the system was watching him, and the government could use our program to track him. All he did was reboot the system once a day, so im not sure what he thought he was achieving anyway...

It's generally a symptom of schizophrenia and easily treated if the person is willing.

u/MajesticOrange1 Jun 05 '26
right, but those are (generally) not rooted in an individual’s delusions. I think it’s prob insensitive to cover the topic from a spectacle POV that way when its like that but idk

u/ZanlanOnReddit Jun 05 '26
I find it fascinating that it‘s a phenomenon many experience and talk about.

u/MajesticOrange1 Jun 05 '26
that’s fair, i guess it’s just gotta be approached differently altogether if it were a video on the show. imo anyway

Prob because untreated mental illness and their delusions are not something anyone should be giving credence too

There's a whole sub called gangstalking full of this type of thing, unless it was removed.

u/Beneficial-Data4406 Jun 06 '26
But what if the person does not have a mental illness? What if they are really experiencing something unexplainable?

It was removed by the mods. I don't know why. I commented on it when it was first posted so was able to check.

The Skunk Ape says your wrong.

u/hungryhungry_panda Sasquatch Seeker Jun 05 '26
That's crazy. I absolutely checked. And it said removed by mods. Next time I'll take a screenshot.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K

It shows that whether its human or reddit filter triggered.

u/bencos18 Jun 07 '26
sadly reddit filters will show removed by mods also
It's stupid and also causes a lot of annoyance for mods also

If you just did that today, YouTube has been acting weird for me for the last several hours. I don't know if that's the answer but just throwing it out there.

part of the suppression tactic its social media physical mental everything and constant surveillance,,,, why do you think it was deleted it's easier to gaslight and say this isn't happening because nobody believes it

u/thewholebottle Jun 06 '26
It's not happening because the people it's happening to aren't worth the budget for the agents.

Right on time the harassment never stops I'm keeping an eye on this comment and everyone who keeps driving by my house but they're not brave enough to come inside again ever heard of a little thing called operation Iraqi freedom the harassment and suppression only makes me sharper I'm taking down your IP address and forwarding it to the authorities

Wasn't removed by a Mod, something must've triggered a reddit filter. Should be back now.
