We need a new word for....Someone who believes that everyone in the world is conspiring to make him or her happy.

i.e. the opposite of P A R A N O I A

Pollyanna doesn't quite do it.

an attempt — AN AIONARAP - SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THAT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS CONSPIRING TO MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO HIM OR HER.

being an Aionarap, i am sure that there is a better word for this and that you or someone else out there will HELP!!!

hmm.. never mind.

I stood frozen with fear, opposite a paranoid schizophrenic (?), on a one-acre island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. His medication ran out fifteen hours ago...He's three-times my size...I can't swim...

Euparanoia?
Benignism?
Panagathism?

Just a few suggestions to make you happy.

>Panagathism?

heh.

(or in the words of athlete-speak, it's all good.)

I thought "Panagathism" was shorthand for "I like all those Hercule Poirot stories...and Miss Marple, too."
