Clinical paranoia is a defense mechanism. What the paranoid is really terrified of, on a level thay can't consciously admit, is that they don't matter and nobody cares about them. If you can buy into a paranoid view, hey! You matter!. You're important enough that someone is trying to get you.
All I can say to the folks I mentioned is "You wish you were important enough that anybody could be bothered to snoop on your PC. Your worst nightmare is true. You aren't important. You don't matter. Nobody cares what you think! Deal with it."

Well now if the NSA is watching me, they are either bored or hungry.
I knew someone that when an FBI agent moved in behind her, she thought the FBI was going to bug her phone.
Yes, I laughed.
