Hypersensitivity to environment.

Does anyone feel like (so-called) inanimate objects are "alive"? Like they might be watching you, or judging you, or they just have an energy to them in the way that something alive does?

Is that feeling hypersensitivity or is it paranoia (or both)? Could the objects have, on some level, a life energy? But if the objects are watching you or judging you, isn't that paranoia?

Dear BethRags,

I have felt that way sometimes.

BethRags, I am 100% sure that non living items aren't judging you. They don't have any form of mental capacity to do so. Only animals and humans have such abilities. If you doubt that, then it would be a crucial discussion with your mental healthcare team.

Thank you, Soupe. I'm wondering if anyone else here has the same experience?

Hello Yaowen, I'm sorry you have that feeling sometimes. If I may ask, what is your diagnosis?

I was wondering if my computer was watching me today. I mean it has a camera and mic and you can talk to the echo. Then I decided I'm both hyper sensitively and paranoid. I don't judge. So why would others judge me?

I think objects can carry energy, but I don't think they are sentient. I do not feel they are alive in any way. I did think objects were watching me and listening to me and controlling me when I was psychotic.

I have also heard several others here report something similar when they are experiecing issues. I have grown to view it as a pattern. There seem to be specific common disturbances in the way we percieve the world around us when symptomatic and this kind of thinking appears to be one of those.
