> I still have to fight the urge to go look at his myspace page. I have this paranoia that he and the people from my old job are talking about me and I need to go check. I've been refraining though. I know I need to just let that part of my life go and not care whether or not they're talking about me. Paranoia doesn't always listen to common sense though.
Well, I encourage you do to so as long as you realize that if they have nothing but ill to speak of you AND they have the time to futz about and put it up on MySpace, then they are truly warped putzes with nothing better to do with their lives than demean people in a public forum -- and you think YOU have problems? I'd have a good laugh at their expense, thinking about they have to focus on taking down one person (you) in order to build themselves up, and come back for more when I needed another good laugh.
If they don't have anything to say about you -- then point that out to your paranoia. If your paranoia keeps pushing you to visit, then everytime they don't mention you point that out to your paranoia.
Maybe giving into the urge is the best way to fight that demon. Going back again and again, probably finding nothing. And if you find something, laugh in its face. It's basic instinct -- fight or flight. Sounds like flight ain't working too well. Go in spoiling for a fight, and let laughter be your weapon of choice.
