121ARAM: so, have you ever heard of the word pronoia?
GEMMA: i have now. what does it mean?
ARAM: it’s the counterpart to paranoia. so essentially, you know, you have delusions that people care about you more than they do, and that you have a lot more going for you than you actually do. so you have these delusions of grandeur. instead of everyone being out to get you like paranoia, everyones out to, you know, like, shake your hand. you know what i mean?
GEMMA: umm hum, yeah, i think so.
ARAM: That’d be a pretty nice ailment to have, I’d say. I wish I had that.
GEMMA: I mean… Of all the mental ailments… Sure… But you’re still……………. ill.
ARAM: I mean, yeah, sure, but, you know, everyone’s got one or two that jurisdict their life.
GEMMA: Yeah. Right. But I feel that would almost run your life…. And not in a good way.
ARAM: Why not in a good way? Isn’t being confident in itself, just believing your way into being a success?
GEMMA: Umm…. Sure…. To a certain extent, but not to the extent that it’s, you know, like a neurological disorder…… like paranoia is.
ARAM: Whose drawing these lines?
GEMMA: The DSM-5…. The diagnostic and statistical manual…
ARAM: I knew that.
GEMMA: … of mental disorders….
ARAM: Yeah. I knew that.
GEMMA: OH yeah. You knew that?
ARAM: Yeah. Yeah. I did. My Mum works for them.
GEMMA: She does not! …….…… Anyway. You shouldn’t confuse pronoia with confidence. It’s just not the same thing. I feel like that’s what you’re doing.
ARAM: I feel like it is the same thing though.
GEMMA: No it’s not. One is a disorder and one is just … being healthy…. Anyway. I’m not going to indulge your twisted fantasies about being mentally ill…
ARAM: That’s a shame.ARAM: so, have you ever heard of the word pronoia?
