Is there a mental disease/disorder that has to do with someone constantly thinking about what others are?

Question

Does the disorder affect how much and often the person thinks about what others are thinking about them? Is there another disorder that causes a person to think that someone is watching them in their house, or is it the same disorder? I often have a feeling that someone is in my house, even though I know no one is in my house, I can't shake the feeling. I also constantly overthink about what other people think about me.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if there is an actual illness. But what you are feeling is paranoia, and it is sometimes associated with schizophrenia. If you take drugs this is also an side effect of that. Cannabis will make you paranoid and when you are coming down off amphetamines you get pretty paranoid and "twisted" too.
As far as thinking about what other people think of you, I think everyone has this problem, the trick is not to over analyse it, at the end of the day, what other people think of us is none of our business. And it doesn't really matter what others think of you, it only matters what you think of you.

Answer 2

Please see a liscenced psychiatrist or psychologist.

The former could be a form of Social Phobia, and should be quite treatable.

The thing about feeling that someone else is in the house, I read somewhere, can be a problem with the brain's body regulation center, so that what you are actually sensing is yourself and your own presence, but your brain somehow is misreading it, leading to the misperception that someone else is there. Now, I don't want to worry you at all (and this is why I really advise going to see a psychiatrist or psychologist, and please remember that I am no professional and may totally not know what I am talking about) but that misperception condition can often be related to schizophrenia. Is there any history of that in your family? I don't know if it could be a beginning warning sign of onset? I also don't know how old you are, and how possible such an onset is likely to be.

Answer 3

The condition is called paranoia. You always feel that someone is watch, following or checking on you. It is actually quite common. If you do a search on paranoia solutions, it will give you a number of links that might help you. Don't worry too much until you actually hear them ring the door bell.

Answer 4

Theres a lot of different disorders that could be causing those symptoms. You should see a psychologist, no one on yahoo answers is going to be able to give you an accurate diagnosis, especially with so little information.

Answer 5

you could just be incredibly insecure and that anxiety is boiling over. talk to someone.
