I feel like my thoughts are being seen by people who wouldnt, and I imagine their opinions and faces.

Hi,

I think I have a disorder, or anxiety;

I always feel like my thoughts are being directly read/broadcasted to people who I dont want to see, or that I think that they'll have a quite negative response to.

I can't stop explaining myself the same things over and over and over again.

Like; you know one of those "Introduction" videos or whatever: like "Blla blla blla I have 126IQ blla blla I am patriotic blla blla" than give myself opinions on topics irl like news and stuff.

Also I explain myself things like...how WW2 happened (Wich I have like 100 times)

I feel like...I'm always live-streaming a 'vlog' or whatever and everyone can see what I see and think.

I believe I am anti-social:

I never like hanging out with people, and when for example me and my family are having a good time, like a satisfying time;

"How can I ruin this?","What can I say to break this moment?"

And all of these make me to:

-Uncomfortability (In my mind mostly, due to my privacy, my thoughts being "broadcasted")

-Asocialism (Dont want to hang out with people, like; my uncles birthday lately, everyone went exept me)

-Easly distracted, lack of concentration (Like right now, I am explaining myself alllllll of these, like if I was explaining someone right next to me)

-Stress(Lets say; I got a bad grade, my parents dont know, I get paranoied they have somehow saw what I was thinking and figured out about my grade)

Do I have OCD?

Do you think I need therapy?

And if yes, how do I explain this to my parents(Wich I dont feel comfortable, and stressed that they found out already, and I'm imagining their faces and thoughts)

Or just be like, I'll tell the therapist?

It doesn't sound like OCD to me, but it's not for me to give you a diagnosis. But it sounds as though you are not happy, and that is a reason to speak to a therapist.

Most people have moments when they feel that they have spoken their thoughts out loud. It could also be that you are naturally someone who likes to be on their own, and nothing wrong with that. Try not to worry about your parents' reaction as I'm sure they want only the best for you and will support you.

Go to your GP to begin with. They should be able to refer you to the right people in the form of a mental health team. Then perhaps tell your parents you have done so. They may already have noticed that your behaviour isn't that of a happy person, and I'm sure they will just want the best for you.

The symptom you describe about thought broadcasting may or may not be a sign of a very serios condition. You need to go to a doctor immediatly and get a full diagnostic. I would try two different doctors. Always good to have a second opinion. Also talk to your parents ASAP. As "strangers" as they may seem or distant, or people who don't understand you, trust me, deep down inside they love you and would do anything to protect you. So start by saying you think you need help and explain what you explained here. Also keep in mind that it's better to act NOW. Do not stay in your comfort zone and postpone this because it won't go away on it's own, trust me. I did that back when I was a teen with my OCD and other probelms, and it got much worse and much harder to treat when I finally went to the doctor. Regards! Wish you to be healthy!
