You are out to get me. If you're mean to me, that's direct evidence. If you're nice, that's also evidence that you are trying to trick me into trusting you. If you ignore me, well that's the worst of all because it proves that you are trying to divert my attention from you so you can plan your attacks on me in secret.
That's not non-falsifiable. That's overly complex if you don't have other reasons to believe it. But it might well be true, and confirmation might be about to bring itself to your immediate attention.
