I always feel like I’m being watched?

Posted on by

I always feel like someone it watching, me even in my own home. If someone has given me a gift sometimes I think they put a secret camera in it to spy on me. Or, even if someone hasn’t given me a gift I still feel like someone is watching me. I tell myself that no one is watching me but I still think about it.

I would really love to go outside, but I always feel like my neighbors are watching me. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. I try to tell my self to ignore that but I can’t so I mostly stay inside when I’m home.

Strangely enough, I almost never even think that I’m being watched when I’m with other people. I do go out in public, I don’t stay home all the time but when I do go out in public I always like to have someone go with me or else it feels like everyone around me is staring at me. Which they probably do see me when they are looking around but I just feel..uncomfortable and awkward being in public and outside alone.

I asked a question similar to this only I didn’t mention that I felt like I was being watched inside and some of the answers said I could have Agoraphobia, but after looking up the symptoms and the definition of it I do not think I do. Now after I am done typing this it seems really stupid to think I’m being watched but I just can’t help it, even if I do tell myself no one is watching me.

So anyway, do you think this is strange? Or what could I do to make myself stop thinking this?

  1. It is a strange feeling to feel like this, and it’s unhealthy to be paranoid. Would you be willing to talk to someone about this to get to the bottom of why you feel this way? Anyways I can promise you that no one is watching you. Of course people see you but no one is spying or doing anything wrong. Constantly repeat to yourself that no one is watching you. Remember that when you go out in public, others, like you, have someting to do..they have better things to do than just watch you, please understand that. Everything will be okay.

  2. I feel the exact same way :/ been like this just about my whole life and really hit me when i became alone and became a single mother.I read something about its a type of ocd .For me going to the Dr.s was a run around and pain in my butt.Well just wanted to say your not the only one who feels like this :(
