> I feel like I'm being suppressed somehow. Is this belief justified based on my experience?

Imagine you saw a question like this posed at the beginning of an essay or work of fiction. 99% of the time, that essay would be a wild and delightful trip through paranoied interpretation. In fact, it would be really unusual and boring were it just to dismiss the idea this hot lead immediately after it was poised.

Well, LLM's are just improv partners in essay or story writing, not therapists or confidant, and you gave that improv partner an easy volley to ran with im writing a paranoia story.

If you really need to use an LLM to find insight and advice (you really should avoid that), never give it scintillating leading questions like what you posed here. Instead, use neutral open questions that suggest as little as possible, and introduce only the more boring ideas when they need to be leading at all. When you fail to do that, you're just inviting it to play out your own dark fantasies. And while that may feel validating and clarifying, it's going to be sending you deeper into your own imagination and farther away from solutions and reality.

Please use these things responsibly, if you have to use them at all.
