I feel like I am paranoid. Whenever there is something that I must do, and there are other people watching me, I feel uncomfortable, especially if I know the person. Doesn't matter if I studying, exercising, its all the same; it feels really awkward. This is getting in the way of things. Has anyone else experienced this, and if you have please help me. I am not sure how to solve this.

I think that's self-conscious, not paranoia.

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right beneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but

Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin

[x2]
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin [x3]

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

The sun
I feel the light betray me
The sun
I feel the light betray me

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

Why don't you stop doing what you're doing, then look and see if anyone is actually watching you. Most people are too wrapped up in their own existence to give a fuck what other people do. Probably no one is watching you at all.

And if someone is watching you, what do you care? If the other person is watching you and it's annoying you then tell them to stop watching you. Like say you're trying to piss into a urinal and they're watching you, and you can't go while they watch, tell them to stop watching.

build some self confidence so that you don't give a shit

I don't care at all if people are watching me, because I know I am awesome

it can take time and sustained awareness of your own behavior, but it is what you must do
might help if u do something like get in really good shape

Yeah, but if they're staring, you tell them with your fists.

talk to a therapist/psychologist or a priest even, I'm sure your dependence on asking people here probably has something to do with it

They are jealous because you are so awesome. There, that should help you out a little. Just keep telling yourself, "Yeah, keep staring at me, let me know I'm more interesting than your own life."

Self-confidence, right? Nah, people just don't give a fuck, so don't either. You don't have the NWO on your back, or some Chinese spy following you around, it's cool.

You're used to being alone. Change that and you change the way you feel in different environments.

Realize that u are NOT your feelings and thoughts , ppl tend to forget about it and identify with them when they feel/have them. You can reject the thoughts that cause these feeling and u can reject the feeling itself. Some thoughts and feelings are simply wrong and they need to be refined . You can do it in any way that works well for you , ie telling yourself that ' This feeling is wrong, illogical, useless , disturbing and unwanted ,i don`t accept it and i won`t do a single thing differently because of this. Noone is watchin me and even if someone is - I don`t give a fuck . This won`t get in my way.'

This won`t take the feeling away from you , you ll still feel it for quite a while but if u ll be consistent in rejecting it, it ll subside

Check if there actually is anything watching you, if there isn't, then chill out. Also marijuana is an amazing cure for paranoia.

Since when does marijuana cure paranoia ? -.- Looks like a lack of self-confidence to me that's all, paranoia is a tad different o.o

Yes, smoke a blunt after blowing down a line of some cocaine and watch your paranoia drift away...

Well I like asking questions here because TL members always put my thoughts in words, and I end up following the advice (except for the smoking a joint).

I have a similar problem. I have difficult even maintaining basic friendships because of how paranoid/unconfident I am. I'm steadily improving with all of my social problems but I used to twitch severely just when people walked behind me and shit.

I really can't stand being watched though. I suggest therapy, I find it really helpful, even if you feel your problems aren't severe a therapist can really help you understand your problems and guide your thought process toward one that will help you in the long-term

Well imagine there is an entire thread dedicated to you, and it is hidden away, impossible to see, and at this very moment they are tracking your every movement, every idiotic post, every embarrassing thread you visit, and when you slip up, they will never ever forget that moment and keep it an inside joke from with each other.

But really, even if it were that case, is it so bad?

Think of it this way, no matter how buff and strong incontrol will become, he will always be fat, because its just too fun to poke fun at something that gets mad from time to time.

Or Idra being bm, even though I don't personally see immaturity in him, people will always linger on some memorable fault.

And TL, TL never forgets.

Paranoia in general terms though, it could range from a personality disorder, an attribute to a disorder, biological/drug, or a temporary reaction to a particularly stressful transition/event in your life.

So, if it interferes with your general productivity and interaction, I suggest some kind of psychological evaluation, cognitive behavioral therapy should suit you and confront your paranoia, talk to the people you think are talking behind your back, but don't..DON'T stalk them, say in a flexible, casual way.
Once you play starcraft, everything else in life seems alot easier.

Actually I am social, and have lots of friends. Its just that when I want to do something for self improvement or benefit (something for myself), and people even glance at me, I feel like a big show-ffy jerk, even though I didnt really do anything :/

I think Travis (once again) gave the answer i was looking for.
EDIT: well I dont have a life right now but I still have friends

I'm just talking about paranoia and how it affected me. Not trying to really draw a comparison though, sorry if it came off that way. My phrasing was poor :p
