There are a group of guys at work who sit in the corner and laugh all the time and take the mickey out of everyone in the room without them knowing what about. They are famous for it. Whats the best way to cope with them. Whats the best way to stop feeling constantly paranoid that they are taking the pi**. Its really getting me down.

Famous for it? I've never heard of them.
You could walk up to the ringleader and punch him has hard as you can, right on the nose. You might get a bit of a slap back but thats alright. You've still stood up for yourself. Or you could just decide not to give a s hit what these tossers think or say. Thats the best way. These people thrive on getting a reaction. And who the hell are THEY anyway? Nobody's, that's who. Pathetic little tossers who try making up for their shortcomings by attempting to make others feel small. Of course you could be imagining some of it. Sometimes we hear people laughing, and assume it's at us, and it could be anything they're laughing at. I say bollocks to 'em. Lifes too short.

If they are taking the mickey you are bound to feel uncomfortable. That does not make you paranoid - you are not imagining it it is real, and you are having normal feelings. Is anyone else having these feelings about it? Could you ask round your mates or listen out for others complaining? Then in pairs or in a group confront them and tell them how you feel about it? They may pipe down after such group pressure. Or they may get worse if they are bullies. Then I would talk about it to your manager, either on your own or with support from colleagues. They are being very rude and it is detrimental to your work to have this situation at work.

They probably are talking about you, dont worry about it, i bet they are the work place bully's also, well the best way to deal with bully's is to be a bigger bully, show them you ain't scared once you confront these people and put them in there place they normally back off,they are the idiots that need to hide in the corner and b.i.t.c.h about the other is sad they are the one's with the problem not you, they probably b.i.t.c.h. about each other behind there own backs anyway thats just the way life is dont worry about it,they are the one's with the problem they are the cowards just think that to yourself and laugh them off, if they directly confront you with the p.i.s.s taking just give them it back harder dont take no crap embarrass one of them infront of the rest humiliate him make him feel low and wimpy, any way most people have some kind of paranoia its human nature and you dont have to be on drink or drugs to suffer it, its how you cope with it.

Dont take any notice of the first answer, he cannot diagnose you like that and clearly does not know what Schizophrenia or Bioplar Disorder is.
I know its easier said then done but try and rise above it, you could always confront them, if they are laughing at you one day stand up go over there and ask them if they have a problem, be brave. Dont cower if they laugh just say 'well your a bunch of fu***king idiots!' and walk away.

Jesus how sad are they, this happens in a lot of places and my feeling on it is the reason they sit and jeer people all the time is cause they are insecure about something in their lives, really and truelly the best thing to do is ignore them, all they want is a reaction from you so just laugh at them cause what they are doing is really sad

Take no notice of the so called 'psychiatrist'!!! Anyone with that qualification would not be answering the question without seeing and evaluating you. Ignore the idiots in the office, complete indifference to their childish behaviour is a great put down.

I know exactly how oyu feel. I used to think whenever someone was laughin even like on the bus or something they would be laughing at me.
The only way i think to get over it is to believe in yourself, smile and think to yourself that your confident and theres nothing for them to be laughing about,
Be proud of what you achieve and let that proudness be seen.
Smile and be happy!!!
I hope that helps dont let them get you down, if they laugh at everyone else, they must have insecurities aswell!!!
Good luck xxxx

Can you have a word with HR or your line manager and say it makes you feel uncomfortable, they should be doing their work anyway! Or just ignore them they obviously don't have anything better going on in their lives to be talking about other ppl so much and one more thing how do you know they are talking about you? It could be someone else. x

And they say women are bitchy, these men are just dickheads. No you are not paranoid, they probably do talk about you but look at it this way at least they are leaving some other poor person alone. Just ignore them, I would not give them the time of day

they sound really inmature and quite selfish, they don,t care about others feelings, their are women down the school like that i ignore them show you are confidant even if you don,t feel it , everyone gets it from these type of people and if you show you are nervous they are going to do it more cos they feed off that, so just smile and ignore them, and feel pity for them they have to behave so immature, i have been through the same thing don,t play their game they are looking for a victim to pick on dont, be one be courageous and strong show you are better behaved than them read a book on confidance to build you up
