Is it normal to get paranoid when a car follows you for a few turns?

Whenever I'm driving and the same car has been following for a few turns I get paranoid like they're following me home or something. I know that they almost certainly aren't but it makes me uncomfortable. Is this normal?

    I've been followed late at night. Followed me on the freeway, took same off ramp, same streets to my house. I didn't stop at my house. I kept going till I got to a police station. He followed me to there, then sped off when he saw I pulled into the police station. That's happened to me a couple of times. So, yeah. It's normal.

    i went to the dollar store once to get a sippy cup for my son and had two guys follow me around the store and follow me to my home. they spend off as soon as i pointed my pistol at the drivers head!

    in this crazy world, i wouldn't say you're completely paranoid. i've felt the same way at times in the same situation.

    every time though, i was just being paranoid. but like i said, in this crazy world.. paranoia is sometimes a good thing.

    I'm the opposite. If the person in front of me seems to need to go to the same destination as I do and the last few turns were all the same I imagine how they might think I'm following them and I feel bad.

    Sometimes I do give it some thought. Here in Germany, policemen drive unmarked cars with cameras on them. If you have done some minor motoring misdemeanor, they will follow you, then overtake you to pull you over. That's what I fear. A ticket! As for cars driving behind me, I don't care. As long as they don't stop too close at stop lights! I hate it when people do the bumper to bumper stop on me.

    i get like that too! and i live in a small town so it happens quite a bit. i think its totally normal!! i also have a fear of getting into my car at night. or with my kids coming home by ourselves. seems like if someone was going to get me i couldnt save us all. i think its ok to be paranoid but the more i think about it the worse it gets.
    throw a couple wrong turns in there and if they do too, then yuo have a problem. ::)
