feeling like people are watching me

[silverbeatl]

I deal with a lot of anxiety that people are watching me. It makes me very fearful and self conscious. It makes me feel that people know personal things about me that I do at home and that they are laughing at me. It makes me want to stay at home and not go out. Has anyone ever felt this way? If so, how do you deal with it?

Play a game. Imagine, for example, a few different types of people, then just start using your imagination, imagining odd, ridiculous, funny, all kinda things about them. I'm sure, many people are really doing nasty, dull, rude, things, that they don't want to be brought to light in a zillion years, and are keeping them a secret on every cost. Truth is, that we are all humans, and there is nothing to be ashamed from. Even if it's funny and embarrassing, laugh it off. Because in reality, nothing is such a big deal. As some wise person has said : Nothing human is alien to me. {excuse my silly, probably incorrect translation, I'm a Bulgarian, sorry if I express myself odd sometimes}.
