Is it normal to feel something behind me when i'm alone?

I get this creepy feeling like someone is behind me or looking at me... specifically at a certain spot in my bathroom at the sink with a big closet next to it (that always has the light on). I feel like something is behind me And I can't even look in the mirror bc I'm afraid of seeing something behind me. Sometimes it's so strong that I will rush out or even use hand sanitizer in my room instead of washing my hands at the sink after I use the toilet. When I'm in the shower (which I try not to use at night), I'll keep the sliding door open so I can see out or at least open enough to stick my head out to check. Here's the worst part - I'm 50 years old. Anyone else a grown ass adult with this level of irrational fear? The thing that makes me dwell on this is that I've had instances of precognition where I've seen images of buildings falling for a couple weeks prior to 9/11 and told my boss something really bad was going to happen then changing my department at work to the emergency services department for that reason, another time where I felt someone else's feelings about a problem they later confirmed having before I even knew they were in the same room, a few other things like that so it makes me question this strong feeling. Sorry so long..if you stuck with me here to the end, thank you 👀.

    I want to make an Omori reference so bad...

    But yeah, Normal. You're probably more paranoid than average, but I think most people get a feeling like that when they're totally alone somewhere and the space is large or unfamiliar enough.

    I only got that feeling in one persons house when I was younger. I used to soend the night at my friends house way out in the country and it was a house built in the early 1900s with no hallway. Someone had committed suicide there and the doors were real squeaky. The whole house would make noise when the wind blew. That house was so fuckin creepy dude id be scared to go to the bathroom at night. We also one time heard tapping on the window in the middle of the night. I witnessed crazy shit that I never bring up because ppl wont believe me and will think im a schizo.

        The weirdest thing I can remember is we were being silly at around midnight, his parents were asleep, and my friend said "if there is a ghost in the house go..." and then he tapped the bedframe 3 times. Then later that night when we were trying to sleep we heared loud tapping in the kitchen window. It was in the same pattern as how he tapped (three taps) and the tapping on the window the kitchen. I woke my friend up because I was about to shit myself. You could hear it from my friends bedroom and it kept doing it off and on for about 20 minutes. We were both frozen in fear and stayed up all night. We pissed in a cup to avoid leaving the room to go to the bathroom.

    Yeah it's kind of normal. There was a hilarious old meme called the Horrifying House Guest. Maybe thinking about your fears with humor can help get rid of them

    It's normal, sometimes I get that feeling that someone's watching me, but not when I live alone, when I'm in the shower I get the feeling, this fantasy that I have wires on my bald head and this is the matrix, even though in the visible world I'm not bald, that's how I came to think this world isn't real, but it had nothing to do with being watched, I was a normal person, although in my natural nonconformist state I would try to be normal and do absolute genius things until I'm convinced my genius wouldn't work, to which I was average. The ideal way for me to live was to be not quirky at all, not acting weird, to just do what I'll naturally do, copying people, without playing the difference game, I would just be an ascetic and wear poor man's clothes, and eat alkaline digestive enzymes, and listen to Kraftwerk, Austrian Death Machine, Human Nature, techno music, etc, and be a traditionalist, the way I used the internet then is nothing like how I use it now, I was a Platonist, instead of getting into Puritanism, I got into Lutheranism, I was a structuralist, but it turns out what I was then wasn't wise and I was just learning to be wise, I was also a patriot, an all-Australian guy only doing Australian things, what I learned is not to let people define what's Australian, it's bloody well Australian, I even had the flag in my house like everybody else, I'm pretty sure there was a big Australian flag pinned on the wall, the same way they pin a flag up in America, I thought Australia was so great, as a result I've done some great things. All this is a fiction, to everybody else I was just a freak from Washington DC, so they thought, although talking Australian there was a twang in my voice.

    You’re in for surprise

    You’re in for a shock

    On iin threads

    When there’s darkness and fog

    When you least expect me

    And you turn your back

    I’ll attack

    I smile while I’m creeping

    through shadows on the wall

    I laugh when I’m sneaking

    but you won’t hear me at all

    Oh hear my warning

    Never turn your back on the kitteh

    I have the same problem. After being sexually assaulted by aliens I haven't been the same.

        You're the racist because you don't have respect for the frog race.
