Hey, I have problems with thinking people are always looking at me or talking about me. Its hard to deal with sometimes. Although is does seem like a form of paranoia, it is more related to my social anxiety. I try to tell myself that people have better things to do than talk about me--I am not the center of attention.

When I think my T does not like me or have problems like yours with friends, it is from my insecurities. I feel insecure in the relationships--worried that I am going to be left--abandonment issues related to thoughts like--who would want to be my friend?--who would ever like me? This comes from problems with my self esteem and self image.

So, when I am having thoughts that seem paranoid, its not some type of mental illness or anything bad. Its me needing to work on issues such as self esteem and anxiety.

So, try, if you can, to keep this all in perspective...maybe it is not as bad as you think. Although I am not--in any way whatsoever, minimizing your feelings. Its just what I have been through and what I figured out about it.

HUG!
