Shiny side out to deflect thoughts of bright people. Shiny side in for all others (dull people). I'm schizophrenic paranoid and I believe each and everyone whom I answer on this forum influences my mind for the duration of my answer. I'm wearing my tin foil hat this time shiny side in!
For majnum 99; I have seen people (schizophrenic paranoids) walking around a mental hospital with a metal waste basket over their head to stop the thoughts from other people getting in. I have, years ago, thought something (people or God) was transmitting their thoughts into my head and I wore a metal can with eyelets cut out over my head and in addition stood on a metal plate to see if that would stop the voices. It didn't.
Seriously! I have a deep sympathy for the ask-er, if he is really a schizophrenic paranoid, because the voices are so unwelcome and so painful at times. The efforts of those who experience them should tell the medical staff witnessing it that the patients are not "faking it" but trying everything in their limited power and knowledge to stop the intrusions into their minds.
Good luck with your foil hats, good mental health, peace and love!

Avast! it should not be worn as a hat as foil is not nearly as stylish as a bandana or a three point hat. But if you needs the foil to keep them pesky aliens or the Pirates of the Dread Ship Roberts from reading yer thoughts, then you should line the hat shiny side in as the dull side reflects radio waves better and the shiny side reflects brain waves better.

Not only is shiny side out more stylish, but it will reflect away more of the aliens mind control waves like a mirror. If you want the best protection though I personally recommend wearing half a disco ball on your head like a helmet. Keeps them pesky butt probers away...

I have worked in mental health since 1987, and I have honestly never heard of anyone doing that.
To Mad Mac: Yeah, I know of people who say the radio is talking to them. One guy played with the knobs on a vending machine and said he was "sending messages." I know of people who said they wrote the Bible, and so on. I have been around people who have had all kinds of delusional behavior and hallucinations but I have never seen or heard of anyone wearing a foil hat in any place I have ever worked. I am 99.99 percent sure the person asking this question is joking and only asked the question to make fun of mentally ill people.

shiny side out*(-_-)*
I would suggest wearing a metal colander helmet.It offers more protection and helps to drain the negativity out while letting the positive energy in through the colander holes.

Shiny side OUT - obviously.
How else do you think you'll reflect their mind-control rays?
What are you - Crazy?
Remember! Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you...

To deter incoming - shiney side in.
To deflect out going - shiney side out.

Depends on the outfit

definitely out...that way you can be sure the alien signals will deflect and you won't be spotted and abducted.
