The real question here is how is this affecting you? I can understand the "questioning reality" part of things, but do these experiences otherwise upset you? Are these good interactions with these other people/energies/etc? Or do you feel threatened by them?
If they're not causing you any real distress other than wondering whether or not they are real, then take a step back and just watch them. Listen to what they have to say and see if there is something there you need to hear from them. Do they demand that you interact with them or are they seemingly happy enough to just be there?

They can really really freak me out, or just be annoying. E.g. there was a guy staring at me at the gym a few weeks back, or at least it felt like he was staring at me and I wanted to go up to him and ask him to stop. I realise that may have been paranoia on my part. But about a week ago I became convinced he was sitting next to me in the living room even though I couldn't see him, and it felt as if his presence was sitting in the left right part of my head, just watching things and I couldn't get rid of that idea.
I don't see them in real life as halluncinations, as for voices they just sit there and I try to ask them why the **** they're sitting there in real life and when I think they're in my head. I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear, when I try to explain it it just sounds really stupid.
