Direction,

It is complicated to me.... "ideas of reference"-- I understand it to mean that one feels things are linked to them in some way-- like a group of people are laughing near me at a restaurant-- I believe they are laughing at me -- for what reason? I don't know-- they're just laughing at me. or like I stated about the crane-- I didn't employ the crane or even know who's driving it-- I just happen to be there doing seperate business inside and then there is an accident, that I'm sure wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have been there. It's like feeling that I'm responsible for things because I am around.... it causes me to keep a distance with others as I don't want them to be hurt nor do I want to be hurt. .... was told "idea of reference" is a part of schizotypal disorder... I'm just not clear on if it's considered narcissistic though......

Hey please don't feel your post was not much help-- your reply did help me -- in that, I WAS noticed! I always appreciate a reply-- thank you.

Direction-
