This is a pretty common thing from my experience here.
In a way I understand it, but generally no. Insects and bugs have eyes and even some multi cellular organisms have organelles that are designed to sense the presence of light, but no. Cameras are based on physics, and that means that the smaller the thing is, the worse its eye sight is going to be. Eyes can only be hit by so many photons those eyes are made of organs, with states of activity that randomly go off and can only collectively detect changes within a small cluster at a time to register as a positive reaction.
The scale and size of the camera can get smaller but the physics involved at the very tiny scales are actually what limits the use of cameras for microscopic investigation. The light just is too chunky at those scales to give good detail. You get more information from blasting it physically with electrons and then reading back the results with a very very smart computer system.
This in all, is just an explanation from what I know.
The sciencey bits are a little beyond me but trust me. Youâre not really being watched by anyone in general most likely.
There might be perverts with hidden cameras or a stalker land lord trying to catch you ruining something. In general the delusion is worse than those realities.
Laws exist to protect you, and so does a good slap and a call to the cops.
You are being surveilled by a large number of things like cookies and internet trackers but theyâre all designed to see what you want to buy and send you ads to make you buy those things at a higher % chance.
Then there are the cameras that exist out there, theyâre not generally watched but they exist and are watching for insurance reasons and for anti theft reasons.
Sometimes people have cameras in their cars, theyâre recording for insurance reasons as well.
If youâre anywhere like America, youâre being watched, but the intent and scope limit it to a very if understandable amount. Although you might not like it, it is happening and you need to talk to someone if it bothers you, not because anyone needs to know it bothers you, but so you can productively move past this hang up.
My best wishes in trying to work through this delusion. My best advice is to consistently find the doubt. Wherever you find doubt you will work at the delusionâs vividness and its intensity in your mind.
It may not go away completely but the conviction can definitely dampen, even if its only a sustained periodic weakening and it comes back pretty strong, thatâs still progress because the process can begin again.
Its a big pain in the butt, but thatâs my advice, consistent reasonable doubt about what seems strange to you.
