When faced with an exit strategy, a true paranoid knows that the first step is to DENY, DENY, DENY.
This means denying that there's a problem, denying that there's a solution, and denying that you're in a situation that needs an exit strategy.
This is crucial, as it buys you time to come up with a more elaborate excuse, or to find a better way to blame the exit strategy on someone else.
But, if you're really stuck, you can always deny that you're denying, and claim you're actually embracing the situation.
Just remember: denial is not just a river, it's an ocean, and you're swimming in it.
