Am I Just Paranoid?
Posted: 03-27-07 12:54pm

I feel like i've just got alot of paranoid issues or confidence issues, but ever since I saw that movie a beautiful mind it completely freaked me out HAHA. So I guess I just need to make sure what I'm feeling is just a fear.

The closest thing i've ever really had to hearing a voice was when i was nervous about something I'd just heard my own voice saying "why did you do that ugggh you're so stupid." or something like that, I don't know if you'd describe that as hearing voices but that's the closest thing I've had to it.

I have some confidence issues, and sometimes whenever I see people whisper that are near me or I hear someone behind me laugh I worry that they're laughing at me or talking about me, but most of the time I can just shrug it off and ignore it.

I always feel like i'm ugly all the time, and I'll say it in front of people alot because I want them to tell me otherwise but when they do I don't believe it anyway. I also often worry that i'm getting on someone's nerves or that people are going to talk behind my back.

Alot of people tell me this just sounds like a severe confidence problem, but I don't know. Schizophrenia is one of my biggest fears, I guess I just wanted to hear it from somebody on here.

Can anybody tell me what this sounds like?

Well, yes... it does sound like a severe confidence problem, not schizophrenia. Did you have to undergo periods of emotional trauma, specially during your childhood, too big or lasting too long for you to cope with?

Well when I was younger I was really shy, around 4th grade I switched to a new school and i didn't talk to many people and I think it messed with my confidence.

Well, there are some simple, effective visualization techniques that can help you to gradually overcome your fear / insecurity. I myself was a very insecure person for a large part of my life, and this has helped me and a number of persons I know to lead much more healthier lives then before.

If you're interested, I could send you these over pm. In any case, best wishes...
