Is it normal to think people are reading your mind?

This sounds kinda stupid but whenever someone is looking in my direction whilst I'm deep in thought I'll start shouting "Stop reading my mind! STOP READING MY MIND!!! My thoughts are private!" in my head (not out loud, duh), I know they aren't reading my mind but I always end up doing it... just in case... I think...

Is this normal(ish) or am I just going completely insane?

  • I didn't think much of it until I started working at a place that happens to have 4 self proclaimed 'energy' or 'chakra' mind reading, psychic hippies. I think those guys in particular are full of it, but it still kind of wigs me out a bit. Now when I see them I feel all awkward around them. Like they're invading my privacy in my head and body...they they're tyring to read my all the time.

  • You sound a tad paranoid. When I get a colonoscopy, I wonder what is being done to me while I am out cold cuz' I am sedated in a hospital bed and I wake up in a wheel chair with my surgical gown hiked up. Oh well..

  • I always think someone is reading my mind... The bad part is that I think of the stuff I don't want them to see (like porn *ROFL*) and then I realise that they would see that when I think about it so I just try to walk away.

  • Lol if I think to myself a lot at work I'll get paranoid and say that in my mind too

  • I don't do it all the time, only if I have reason to be really suspicious, like someone repeating something I said in my head.
