I'm afraid people can read my mind

76% Normal
18 Comments

There are times when I'm sitting in a public place and will start to wander off into my thoughts. Of course being exposed to television and media, well all know about really bad things. Of course, my mind sometimes wanders off to these not so pg rated thoughts. I catch myself thinking about this, look around really quickly to see if anyone has an amused or rather disgusted look on their face. I'm afraid that people can read my thoughts and I'm going to get jeered at and laughed at.

Sometimes in class I'll think really loud (I don't know how to explain that), telling people who can hear me, that I'm not amused that they are listening to me. I tell them to back off and leave me alone.

Of course, my rational side of my brain says that I'm being silly and that mind reading isn't real. Just curious if anyone else feels this way as well.

    OMG!! I do this all the time!! Sometimes I even make fake compliments in my head to people I suspect of listening in!! So glad there's someone else who does this!!! How long have you had this?!

    Yes. Oh my gosh, yes. I know how you feel. To be honest, I might have it worse than most, because I can't exactly laugh about it - I drive myself crazy wondering sometimes. It's even to the point that I completely refuse to "believe" in any God that "watches me" and whatnot, and I hate people who try to convince me to "belieeeeeve and embraaaaace your Goooodddd" because they're like freaking spies or something. It's like they're all part of a conspiracy to get me to follow this guy who might not even exist! e____e I hate it.

    . . . Yes, I'm aware I sound quite crazy.

    I completely understand what you mean about "thinking loud". Sometimes when I worry people can read my mind, I think really loudly "STOP LISTENING TO MY THOUGHTS!"

    I feel exactly the same way! I have an older brother, and he's not exactly appropriate. He gets these thoughts in my head, I can't get them out, and next thing I know I'm trying to think, "Mentos, house, cheese, speakers." I do this because I am trying to take things off my mind so that other people only hear those random things. But it really embarasses me when I think about my brother, and I can't take it anymore! But my advice is, think something totally random until your mind wanders. It really isn't great, but it temporarily helps. But this made me feel better, so glad theres someone I can relate to.

    I used to think people could read my mind by watching my body language. Like I used to think they could know the exact words I was thinking by how I moved.

    Yeah, I just recently posted one just like this. Except I only worry about people that I am in physical contact with hearing my thoughts.
