Can someone help me understand?!
Question: Okay so, i'm not sure if this is a mental issue, but i'm just looking for some information on how im feeling and if i have a problem.
Well, i constantly ask my friends if people are talking about me, they have become very annoyed with me lately becasue of that, i also cannot stop thinking about it no matter what. Also whenever i walk down the street or anywhere or even when i'm in my room with my blinds shut, i can't help but think people are spying on me, like i can't do anything out of the ordinary because of that, i have even started checking around my room for hidden cameras, it's so annoying, and like i hate going out anywhere, i can't go outside because i feel like people are watching me. I have told my mother about this but she asks me questions that i can't reply to like, "why would people be looking at you?" and things like that, uhhgg. I just want to know if i have a problem or if it's just worrying?

sounds like paranoia. i'd give the general response and say ask your doctor, but i haven't had the problem and wouldn't know how to explain to them. it's hard enough convincing my family that i have some problems that need to be addressed. everyone always has to ask questions that are impossible to answer. good luck though.
Yeah your a bit paranoid but don't worry it'll pass over.
You do have paranoia. It'd be a good idea to see a therapist to work through your issues, and perhaps understand from where they originated.
well, first thing that occurred to me... do you talk about people behind their back?
have you and your friends gossiped about others? often when we do such things, they come back to haunt us. try focusing more on what you say and do, and you will think less about what others might be saying.
i agree about the past haunting you...you may just have a guilty conscience about something you did or said about someone else...but at the same time you should consider seeking professional help for this...a doctor can prescribe a mild anxiety drug such as Ativan.....
OMG I'M EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!!!!!!
Its called being paranoid.
Sucks doesnt it?
