Interesting structure and wording of recent posts if I didn't know better, it would say it looked like two different people are sharing the same ID.
I see. :shock:

Paranoia.
Paranoia is thinking and feeling like you are being threatened in some way, even if there is no evidence, or very little evidence, that you are. Paranoid thoughts can also be described as delusions. There are lots of different kinds of threat you might be scared and worried about.

fawn

verb | FAWN

What It Means

To fawn over someone is to court their favor by groveling or by flattering the person. Fawn is also sometimes used of dogs to mean “to show affection.”

Still new to celebrity, the musician seemed a bit baffled by those fawning over her during her recent visit to her hometown.

I'd only been gone five minutes but the puppy fawned on me like I'd been away for hours.

I reckon we all understand you have lived a very sheltered life, statts.

On another subject, I do note that Dd had specified "fawn" as a verb in his post.

Not the way I read it

It says fawn

then later (2nd line) it describes verb FAWN but does not go on to describe any other type after


Note:- a dictionary is also a great way to learn (probably even better than google when concerning Words)
Dictionaries are available on most laptops/phones and all good bookshops
