Is it normal to feel like your being watched?

8 Comments

Almost all of the time that I KNOW others are around, (could be family, friends, or strangers), I feel as if i am being watched. and so, i calculate my moves. ...its quite debilitating, and i feel like i cant be myself around anyone...or speak my true thoughts etc...so i usually alter what i want to say or do, in some way.
I know that this isnt healthy, and i really wish it werent so. but, am i alone on this? any advice on how to release this fear?

    you are always being watched. By God. and your deceased relatives from heaven. This is what Sunday school has taught me.

    I have this problem too, it got a lot worse when I was home alone but it was more out of fear that there were hidden cameras and ghosts that were out to kill me.... Sounds weird, eh? Well, when I'm keeping myself preoccupied or I'm just mellow I feel alot better and the feeling just isn't there.

    I get this mainly around people who i perceive to be very judgemental characters and i freeze up and cannot be myself or express myself, i find myself containing my emotions and feeling very uncomfortable.

    I can relate to your situation as it really does annoy me but fortunately this doesn't happen around my friends and girlfriend but can really throw me off at work when i am introduced to a person whom i do not feel comfortable around or in social situations and it really frustrates me

    feeling that you are being watched in a crowded place or correcting ur self to sound right is OK..sometimes..but if you feel you are being watched 24hrs even when you are alone in your room...in not normal and can turn into a paranoia later on in your life...go to a therapist if its started to affect your day to day life....
