It hard for me to tell when people talk to me if they are referencing me when they say something. Almost like they are insulting me but putting it in the context of general things. Or what they say has the opposite meaning. It’s really hard for me not to say “are you talking about me” when they are talking about things that bother them in other people. I feel so conflicted all the time. I dont know where I stand in certain relationships.
It might just be a mild form of paranoia ?

I had a problem today at work like this.
Just started a new project, and I over-heard the wife say to her husband, “It’s too late he’s started now”
Literally that has been playing on my mind for ages. It’s so debilitating. I don’t know what I have done wrong, and I spent all day with it playing on my mind.
All I want to do is a good job for my customers, and for them to be happy.
It’s so hard to process all this type of thing when you get super paranoid.
I sympathise with your situation, and I wish I knew the answers - other than Gabalins and Benzos

It seems like the neighbors are spying on me and yelling at me through the walls.

I dont know. It could be. It feels really real to me, I’m afraid this is causing me problems socializing. Because of this I have been really suspicious of the people around me. It is consuming me. I’m afraid that if I chalk it up to paranoia which I hope it is, that I might be missing the reality of things and not getting the hint. And possibly over staying my welcome.
And yeah I go over these things in my head all day also. And even forget what was actually said but remember how I felt in general. I had to excuse myself earlier because I was so uncomfortable.

I haven’t felt that way for like a year. Basically since moving out here to California. I’ve got a really good doctor here though.

Yeah I get the feeling that the nieghbors are talking about me and I think this all day. I also feel like they are tapping my phone but I recognize that as a little much to be true. But I still think it. I😁. I really am arguing with myself constantly about what’s really going on. I say to myself nothing is going on, and if it is, oh well. But the fear is always there that they are and frankly its exhausting to do this all day. Lol
Is it common to feel like nobody likes you?
Welcome to the Truman show. Sucks horribly.
I’m trying my darndest to break out of the goddamned thing.

I feel like my dad takes stabs at me. It’s just the way he talks though. I know he doesn’t mean to.

I’ve been struggling with this a lot lately too. I feel as though all my friends secretly hate me and find me super annoying.
I keep telling myself its not true but it’s hard to fight. Cause it’s not like you can physically see friendship.
Tbh what I do is sometimes I’ll ask my friends if I’m doing anything shitty or if I’m taking things to far or if I’m being annoying or anything.
I find that them reassuring me helps

My antipsychotic completely removed me thinking people were talking bad about me. But I don’t remember it well. I think it’s due to the illness
