So I (22M) am not doing the best mentally and I can be quite anxious. So recently my neighbor and friend, let’s call him N, has been practicing hypnosis. I’ve always been creeped out by hypnosis and don’t like the idea of making people do things against their will/awareness. I went to talk to him about it and he asked if I would like a drink. A reoccurring thought of mine has been paranoia of demons possessing me and others, so I refused because that’s how a demon may tempt me, in my mind. My friends are also calling me crazy when I told them what had happened. So, AITA?

    To the best of my knowledge, demons do not possess people, and hypnosis can’t make anyone do anything against their will.

    That being said? Sometimes your instincts are right. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable for any reason you are under no obligation to accept food or drink from them. Sometimes people creep us out because they have genuinely bad intentions. Be safe.
