- Having the experience that people (often strangers) drop hints or say things about them behind their back
- Believing that events (even world events) have been deliberately contrived for them, or have special personal significance for them
- Seeing objects or events as being set up deliberately to convey a special or particular meaning
- Thinking persons or groups of persons are plotting against them and that precautions must be taken to avert the threat
