Political correctness has nothing to do with it. This isn't just idle paranoia, this may be an actual symptom of mental illness if any of this seems remotely, marginally plausible to you, on any level at all whatsoever.
Like, the real deal mental illness, so unless you're 11 years old or something and just have absolutely no idea what you're going on about, perceptions like these justify at least talking to a therapist. When people are in their teens and 20s, these sorts of things can be symptoms of problems that won't fully manifest for several years, and are much more easily dealt with up front than after the real issues have fully settled in. Good luck.
I believe this was mostly well-meant, but please don't comment on someone's mental health in public on HN like this. It's not the place for it, and it rarely turns out well.
