If someone looks at me a certain way or especially when driving, I tend to take everything as an attack on me. I usually fight it with sarcasm but I wish I didn't take things so personal
It could be that you're insecure about something and that's why you're defensive. I'm sure once you work out whatever it is you'll be able to stop thinking that way.
There may be something wrong with me but I never notice what other people are doing. Nor do I think I'm important enough for anyone to notice / talk about. My friends can't believe that as a female, I can walk into a bar alone, dressed to the nines, order a drink and wait until my friends arrive.
Of course, men approach me for a chat but that doesn't bother me.
Don't be paranoid. Why would anyone be nasty about you? What have you ever done to them?
Believe me, they are more interested in thinking about what's going on in their own lives rather than thinking about you and your life.
If you see someone looking at you, do what I do - smile and say hi. After all, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet :o)
I;m the same.
Sometimes I wish I could turn off my feelings...so I drink...but it only helps temporarily.
I've grown out of it. You will too. How are you acting towered others might open your eyes as well.
It's normal to take everything personal. I do too, but I have gotten used to the idea that if it's not people I care about that are saying things or looking at me a certain way, then I shouldn't care.
I hate it when I walk past someone and they suddenly smirk. But then sometimes I'm walking along remembering something funny that happened that day and I smirk. People probably think I'm laughing at them. And I'm not.
In short, just learn to let it go.
