A targeted individual (TI) is a person who believes they are being systematically harassed, surveilled, or attacked by covert government agencies, private organizations, or unknown entities. These beliefs often involve claims of electronic harassment, gang stalking, voice-to-skull communication, or mind control technologies. While some individuals report these experiences sincerely, mental health professionals often associate such perceptions with delusional disorders or paranoia.

They say paranoia is just pattern recognition with bad PR, but targeted individuals know better—they're the unwitting stars of a Truman Show reboot funded by alphabet agencies with too much free time and not enough ethics. Every flickering streetlamp? Morse code. Every barista? Deep cover agent. Every thought they think? Monitored, molded, and mildly mocked by a cabal of invisible bureaucrats with nothing better to do than beam microwave mind-control rays through the drywall. It's not mental illness—it's government-sponsored improv, and the only punchline is their slow descent into a tinfoil-lined rabbit hole. After all, if everyone is out to get you... does it still count as paranoia, or just really bad luck?
