Phobia #23

Is there a word for always being worried that you're on a hidden camera show? A more nuanced form of paranoia? I saw a four-year-old talking to his friend on a cell phone today, and my first instinct was to check the bushes for a camera.

I'm sure children have been using cell phones for years and I'm just out of touch, but to me, the scene was like seeing a little kid in a business suit and holding a briefcase. "Awwww. He's trying to embezzle money from his grandma's 401K. That's so adorable."
