Is it normal to think things are always too good to be true?

When good things happen, I'm always scared that it's all a lie. That someone orchestrated the whole thing and they would just jump out and say "Haha Loser!" Every time I get a good grade on an essay I think the professor just put that to tease me. Every time a cute guy hits on me or calls me or whatever, I always think he has friends near by that are laughing about the whole joke. Is it a lame insecurity or legit? Lol.

    im scared too, i guess im used to bad stuff happening to me, that when something good happens im always waiting for the moment when its going to be over or just go horribly wrong, sometimes i sabotage myself and ruin everything (not in purpose) just cuz i know it will go wrong anyway. when i was married i wouldnt sleep because i was afraid that when i would wake up the happiness would end somehow.

    Yes, good things happen all the time. Why do you think you aren't deserving of them. Don't focus on it too much or you may create a self fulfilling prophesy of displeasure and unhappiness.

    I do this to the point of self-sabotage. I reckon it's a sort of defense mechanism ppl develop to protect themselves from disappointment. On the bright side, you're probably less likely to fall for scams etc. lol

    I go with this myself. If something is too good to be true, then it probably is too good to actually be true. You and I both have to rein it in a little, though. Sometimes nice things happen.

    I am the same way! Your parents probably raised you to be insecure. In class this guy wrote me a note saying you are so pretty and I thought it was a joke lol it wasn't we ended up dating but I'm painfully insecure. You need to have more confidence! Do things for yourself and make sure you are truly happy and the situation should improve at least a little bit.
