    Dont be confused but it sounds like a eating with friends is an energetic thing. (7)
    If you're paranoid, let me reassure you: everybody is not out to get you. It's only one guy and its not who you think.

    Are you kidding? This is my favourite thread!! (I do get out of the apartment. Well, sometimes.) Needed that clue, too. Very cryptic of you. So...

    Dynamic duo - very reliant - plonked into comedic situation. (4,5,3,6)

    I used to be with it. Then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you!

    Oops!
    Alright so, no letters yet, but it should help to say that the above is not really a cryptic clue, more a question with a set answer. In other words google it!

    Carpet tiles. But how to get that into a clue?!

    (Half the problem with this of course - you can have the answer, but not be able to form a clue around it!)

    Edit - maith on fear, your eminence!

    Persian Rugs might be found in the house of this famous C & W (mostly) singer who was once famously asked in a hotel toilet "Have you got any change for the prophylactic machine?"
