I remember a theory of why this happens. In a natural environment it may be better for individuals of social species to look for causation on others. It's better to think that maybe your neighbor threw you a rock on purpose that by mistake. Or if others do not talk to you during the day, it's better to think that they are angry at you and try to do something about it than to just assume that is an statistical anomaly. We spend a lot of time trying to know what others think of us. Conspiracy theories seem to fit that trend as usually involve "groups of people" with bad intentions, and hiding their true intentions. Some people, thou, is going to be more addicted to find "what others really think of them" than others.
