Question: Do I have Paranoia!? !?
okay, so i have a problem!. like, if i am at the mall, and i see people laughing, i always think they are laughing at me!. also, in gym class if people are laughing and then look at me i automatically think i have something on my clothes or something!. sometimes i am even afraid to go to the public pool because i am afraid i will embarrass myself or something!. i also recently went on a cruise and i was afraid that if i went outside my room i will bump into someone and i wouldn't know what to do!. do i have paranoia!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, a bit!. Or what sounds more like agoraphobia!. Shouldn't be that serious - it doesn't sound like the insane sort of paranoia people get who think their neighbours are all plotting to kill them or something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please!. That's not paranoia!. You're safely self aware of your paranoia to not be dangerous!. There's a lot of movies where the star of the movie goes through the same thing, at the pool and gym!.

You're obviously in high school, so yeah, I'd guess you have typical low self esteem caused by adolescence!.

A great way to improve how you feel about yourself and care less about what people think, is to improve your confidence in yourself!. Go get good at something!. Join some classes outside of school, take an acting class, or a dance class, or an art class!. Sports are great self esteem builders!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know it's hard, but just force yourself to believe they aren't talking about you (because they probably aren't) and the cruise thing, if you do bump into someone, it doesn't really matter cause you're never gonna see them again!. or else it would be a great way to be introduced!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get over it girlfriend!.!.!. let go of the luggage and the insecure and insignificant thoughts!.!.!. everyone is someone!.!.!.go out there and mingle and enjoy!.!.!.so what!? If you have a stain, or your pants are unzipped, you correct the error and move on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
