I find that when i walk by myself on the streets i often feel as if everyone is looking at me and analyzing me, which somehow can change the way i normally act. Is it normal?
I think it's normal. I was once walking along and out of the corner of my eye, could tell there was someone walking very close behind me and just off to one side. The faster I walked, the faster they did, constantly hanging off my left shoulder. I stopped walking and they stopped immediately. The panic was rising at this point and it didn't make it any better that it was gloomy, raining and just going dark for the evening. I had a choice between running or turning around to face them and I chose the brave option. But as I turned around they slipped around behind my back so they were still behind me. It was only at the point that I realised it wasn't a person at all, but the little velcro tab hanging off my umbrella.
hahaah so funny, i think lots of people do9 analise a solitary person out walking, maybe its human nature and you might do it too without realizing
When I walk in the street I only wish girls would actually look at me but they don't. People don't stare at you since they're too busy getting to where they're heading to.
In your case, it isn't normal. A person should be aware of their surroundings yet not paranoid of people sharing the sidewalk too. I know how you feel and it's horrible. Going out in the public is simply a basic thing and it should not be a task.
Yes, I have this all the time, but since as of late I am usually wrapped in my thoughts, I tend not to focus too much on others, and drift away into my mind.... **swooshhhhhhhhh****~-~_~_~-~_-`
Lots of people have some sort of social anxiety. Pretend your a ghost haunting society.
When you're alone you're vulnerable so of course your mind is going fever pitch with fears. It's normal in that many people have that problem but it's definitely not healthy.
