Is it normal to worry that people can read my mind (i know that they can't)

Ok so I don't do this anymore but when I was younger (aged 12-16) I'd be in the barbers getting my hair cut and I'd think to myself something along the lines of "She's missed a bit on the side and it looks stupid" And then if she cut that bit of hair I'd worry that she could hear my thoughts and try to think something different.

I'm aware of how crazy this sounds. At the time I was very nervous and socially anxious and I do know 100% that this is completely irrational and that nobody can read my mind. Does this make me crazy or just a bit of a wierd kid who over-thought wierd stuff?

    I was an anxious kid and I worried about stuff like that, like you said, even though you know how irrational it is the worry was still there, I also used to worry about hidden cameras as a kid

    I can read your mind. I will prove it to you. Think of a colour, a number, an animal and a fruit.
