The only mahjgickque I need is the realization that, even if They are out to get me, they have had a half a century do try it and have not succeeded. So either they aren't really out to get me, or they're so incompetent that they may as well not be.
On a social level, I just recognize that a friend is just someone who has not yet had sufficient motivation to fuck you over. That's not paranoia, because paranoia is a state of delusion, and the fact is that everyone has their price.
