Paranoia

Does anyone else experience extreme social anxiety to the point of feeling paranoid that everyone is laughing? I feel like I get treated so badly as soon as I step out the front door.

  • Not so bad as that but I felt it more when I was younger, especially in stressful situations. Since retiring I've chosen a solitary life that suits me. I sometimes had the feeling others were criticising me - but I've got over this since growing older. I think the trick is to focus on things you like doing and develop special interests.

    I know one of the Mods gave some useful links for someone with a similar issue - if they see this, perhaps they can re-post the links.
