*I cross-posted this on the OCD forum.*

I've encountered this odd anxiety/OCD/ paranoia thing: I will start obsessing about something and I will worry that people are thinking about the same thing I am.

For example, I realized I made a mistake at work, and I'm afraid that other people are thinking about it, too, even though it might not be noticeable.

Or when obsessing about something else, I'm afraid everyone knows.

Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I just think aliens can read my mind. Guess that doesn't count.

P.S. My main obsession is the fear that people are mad at me. This is probably why I fear that people know what I am obsessing about: that they will get mad at me because of it. If that makes any sense at all...

Oh yes! I think people are mad at me. Then ask them if they are. They say no. I don't believe them. Then they get mad at me.

Omg yes always people mad at me. Or my husband is going to leave me BC I'm struggling. Lol I obsess. Or I think something catastrophic will happen. I have an imagination. Nice to hear I'm not only paranoid one. Thanks for sharing
