No one cares, who you are or what you do...

...Why is it so hard to shake the belief that they are and they do?


I know logically they dont.


But here I am acting like a spanner imagining they are still.


What is that?

Why is that?


I know its very common.

Its like a persistent imagination that other people are watching/listening to you.

Is that paranoia?

Narcissism?

A survival instinct that kept us alive in a "group" so you are very mindful of how you are perceived by others?

Reality checks: Keep looking around you whenever you feel that people are watching you. Don't look suspicious else some of them will start to actually look at you. When you find that no one is looking your false belief will weaken. Keep doing this each time you believe that someone is watching you and you will discover that you had a false belief and that no one was watching you.
