I keep thinking that people are talking about me and laughing at me. It is getting worse and worse.
Iām sorry to hear that 
Do you have anything to take for the related anxiety? Are you on meds? I forgot. My AP Rx is written as 1 to 2 mg so I take more if I start getting really paranoid. I wish there was something I could say. Maybe take a hot shower or try watching a movie and see if it will pass. paranoia sucks.
You have to deal with it appropriately. Remember that having what you have means that life isnāt always going to be easy or a breeze. Our lives come with deeper meaning but it takes time to figure out. If you havenāt been recommended therapy I must say that it is beneficial. I did not go the usual route and talk to professionals but I do talk to myself out loud and even my dogs. According to societal norms its not really the most acceptable way to deal with issues but it does work, at least for me. I ask myself many valuable questions and I try to answer them open and honestly.
Intelligence in my mind isnāt by how much you can repeat after reading but rather the questions you ask and the thoughts and discussions they provoke.
You know how some people pray and sometimes people ask who they are praying to? Which god? And some people respond, āwhichever god is listeningā. Donāt be afraid of people eavesdropping. If you think people are eavesdropping try to please them with intellect versus out of obeying and fear. Teach this disease something instead of it trying to teach you.
Even on medication Iāve still gotten that in public areas. I was at a fast food restaurant and thought people were calling out my name. I couldnāt see who was saying anything so I just ignored it.
I am on meds but they arenāt working right now. I donāt see the doc until feb 23
Ever wonder what those people talk/laugh about when your not present?
Iāve always thought they were doing the same as me, wondering what āthatā (me) person is talking/laughing about.
I sometimes (if I care enough) look in a mirror to make sure my dress isnāt tucked into my waistband or my shirttails zipped into my pants 
or if my lipstick is somewhere else on my face besides my lips.
If all is ok,
then I disregard anyone elseās laughter and walk on with the idea It aināt me!
Youāre a woman?
People are welcome to laugh at me and talk about me all they want. Now if you are having hallucinations, that is a more serious problem.
Maybe try to find something relaxing to do, and let go
Like reading a book, playing a game, watching tv, showering, draw, watch YouTube videos, play a instrument, try to learn of something new that you have interest in etc.
Sorry your experiencing this, I know how agonizing this illness can get at times.
From birth, nothing changed.

I had that too. It was terrifying, my god. It lasted for a couple months until the meds kicked in. Just wait it out and most importantly, just donāt take actions. When you think someone is mocking you - ignore them.
I get the same thing, sadly for me meds help some, but I think once you have had that feeling for so long, it just sticks with me now.
My paranoia was extremely bad for 33 years, then, my pdoc slowly, over many years time, kept adding atypical APās to my regimen and finally adding an injectable AP. Now, I am on a total of three atypical APās, one of them being an injectable. This regimen works wonders for me. I now only have extremely mild paranoia at times. Very tolerable.
I am on:
Risperdal Consta 37.5 mg IM every two weeks
Geodon 240 mg daily
Seroquel 200 mg daily
You might want to ask your pdoc about these great meds.
