No doubt! I totally do this and until recently i thought it was normal. UGH! at least I know it is not now and that gives me hope that there is something I can do to improve my thinking. Today's examples of this thinking are: I hear a ambulance go by and imagine the worst if a family member is gone and a friend says they have something scheduled for a night we were suppose to hang out and i think that means they don't like me. Also, someone at the end-of-season baseball party (little league) didn't return a "hello" when I said "hi" and I thought they musn't like me. The list could go on but I thought I would just give you today's moments, lol. So, YES, I think that way too. I am trying something called Dialectical Behavior Therapy and hope that will give me some creative ways to get around my paranoid thinking patterns. I hope you find what helps you too.
