You see the same topics on here a lot. I remember one topic that hasn’t popped up in maybe years? When you think people are laughing at you. This used to be a big problem for me like ten years ago. Especially at work. I was told it was a delusion and I actually overcame it and didn’t even think of it for years.
Someone on here said years ago that all jokes are at someone else’s expense, well, these last two months I think that the only laughter is when someone is laughing at me. It’s all day, I tried to rationalize that it’s not happening but it’s too real. I just ain’t aware of a lot that’s happening and people pick up on that and just start cracking up. I’m around people all day and the only time people laugh hard is at my expense. Otherwise everything is normal.
I feel for you, kid. When I was working hard, I felt laughed at. Actually, I think it was because I wasn’t interested in others the way they wanted so they would take jabs at me.
Sometimes I pretend the ducks are laughing at me as a joke.
Well, you know you are wrong. Most laughter is not at somebody’s expense. Just try and relax and take a objective stance and hopefully you can convince yourself it isn’t so.
Those of you replying, do not encourage his delusion.
@77nick77 I would suggest talking to your pdoc about med adjustment. You might need an increase or maybe trying a dofferent med if yours seems to not be effective now
I had the same feelings Glad everything is normal otherwise for you. This was driving me crazy when I would be in a crowded restaurant and would hear alot of laughter. I think I kind of outgrew this feeling, and still feel people are reacting to me by picking up on my feelings and reacting to them somehow. I kind of dont care anymore and go on with my days.
