I keep thinking that other people can read my mind.

Ok, this is very embarrassing. This feeling kept attacking me since high school. I try to resist, but I can't control. I have been feeling that thinking inside my head is abnormal and other people can hear if I think inside my mind. I know, strange. I'm aware that this is strange. I know that I have to get rid of this thing, but my other side of the brain doesn't allow me to. It is as if they are fighting. I don't have any trouble doing things, but sometimes my 'evil' side of my brain pops up while I'm having a conversation with a person and says that the person I'm talking with can read my mind and he thinks I'm a weird person. Then because of that, my self confidence drops and now I don't want to talk to that person anymore. Is this normal? Probably not. Are there any ways that I can fix this possibly? Do I need to see a doctor?

    This is not normal at all as it negatively affects your life. You should see a doctor or a therapist and talk about it.

    I am not a native english so sorry in advance..
    I did have the same thoughts as you did and because i kept it all to myself i developped a general anxiety disorder. First off you must tell yourself that these thoughts are unreal and you must keep telling yourself because as you already know, mind reading doesn't exist. and if you cannot get through this by yourself you should see a psychiatrist and look if a drug or therapy could help you. You can make it out and yes, it is normal.

    it's possible you have an entity (form of possession) and you're not aware of it. Sometimes they cause intrusive thoughts or such things like this. Try following this lady's instructions on how to remove an entity inside yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l28m-7SHDE

    I feel this way all the time, but I don't let myself worry about it. If the world is making fun of you, you just gotta rise above it. I can't tell if it's normal or not or what's your case, but I think everyone consider this possibility from time to time.

    This "evil" side is schizophrenia. Sounds like you handle it well. See a doctor. You might benefit from a light doseage of an SSRI.

      SSRIs are for depression and anxiety, not schizophrenia.
