Hard for me to watch tv because i think the people on the screen can read and see my thoughts even though it is not live sometimes. This also happens when i think of famous people in my head i feel they can see me too. And feel they can read my intrusive thoughts. Going thru an anxiety attack and watching tv does’nt help. But my family watches tv so i have to get used to this. How does one desensitize one self so i can get used to watching tv again. Love classic movies though most of the actors are deceased so no need to worry.

You can start by considering that until Hollywood comes knocking at your door for your “Scripts” your probably safe from any mind reading going on.
You can try to send them a very specific thought/phrase/idea and tell them a specific way to let you know, and see how long it takes for them to announce it.

Was watching a cable show and I think someone called me a whore. This is difficult for me to go thru, most people are mean to me on tv. Rarely do I get someone who are kind and caring. Hate my intrusive thoughts though it makes me feel like an outcast. Like which sick person can think of those thoughts.
I experience this too. It’s mostly the TV in my dad’s room when I am in another room that I hear people talking about me.
I do sometimes hear people talking to me through the TV I am watching.
The less you think the less it happens in my experience. So I would recommend doing grounding techniques while watching the TV. Focus on the sensation of the couch you are on or focus on the people’s eyes in the TV or the people’s mouths as they talk. It has helped me.
Try YouTube instead of TV…TV triggers me especially the news…so now its Netflix and youtube …
The news is very triggering for me too. Probably cause it feels like they are talking directly to me rather than other characters in a show.

I rarely watch live TV because it can trigger me. I think the media are stealing my thoughts and broadcasting certain thoughts to a few select people to spread the news.
We have a media player with downloaded shows that I like on it so I just watch them on repeat.
Good luck with it @see121
you are having delusion
