There are some topics that you just have to file away as a 'Hmmm. I wonder' and then leave alone for the time being.

As far as conspiracies, they exist everyday. The sandwich maker says that they are out of black olives. They could be lying because they don't want to go get more or that they are told to cut back on olives because they are more expensive. Etc.. Do we fixate on the little conspiracies or call em such? No. "Conspiracy" gets a bad name and linked with crazies and intentionally so, I think. If people realized how often they gossiped about Brenda lying just so she didn't have to volunteer at the PTA was the same as conspiracy, maybe they'd shut the fuck up.

If you do think that you have a mental illness, DO keep talking to your parents. However, fuck, you might just be experiencing a normal phase. I think that as long as your dad debated without judgment, all might be great there. You can also probably spin it in a way to have good more good debates with your dad. As a lawyer, he might be keen on that as long as he isn't worried about your state of mind.
