It was all just a hunch when I couldn't believe what I heard the DJ said on the radio, she said something that particularly concerned me, maybe she was referring to someone else since she didn't mention my name. But everyday the more I listened to her the more I begin to suspect that the person was really me. How do I know? If somebody says something that indicates he knows what you feel at the moment, it's okay to think that it's just coincidence. What if this goes on for many days, months, and suppose he could also "hint" like saying something or making a sound on the radio that would lead you to think that he knew, somehow, what you were thinking, and play music and make comments that had something to do with what you were thinking or feeling in that particular moment, wouldn't you even start to have even the slightest suspicion that he might be referring to you? The frequency of the coincidence is just too much to ignore, but it's not my style to stalk someone. They keep denying it

Thinking others can read your mind seems like normal "Paranoia" - some amount of it regularly occurs to most people.

The old Joke is "OK, You're Paranoid, but are you Paranoid ENOUGH?"

But this is also a simple explanation, apart from the one of simple coincidence. Once our brain turns on its 'filters' we tend to notice some things, like just how many other cars on the road are just like ours.

Also Older people have Life Experience, and can see - via things like Body Language, a fairly good indication of what may be happening in someone else's mind. Also some of us can remember how we thought when we were younger in many situations, especially stressful ones.

Relax.

If you still have difficulty, perhaps you should have a talk with a doctor, who may help you with a referral to a specialist, just in case you DO have some sort of really serious problem.

You DO want to be helped, don't you? I assume that is why you asked this question.

In my opinion that best thing you should do is ignore whatever you hear , pretend that you did not hear them say it.. If you feel that she is talking about you, if it did not sound bad well, it maybe just her opinion.... She really do not know you at all as much as you do not know here... It reminded me of a very close friend, she always cry when she hears some love songs on the radio and tells me. that he feels the dj did know how broken hearted he really is.. I consoled him and tells him, it's just a song and has nothing to do with him... He ovecame that feeling.....
Why not find other channels, and other kinds of programs that plays more beautiful music rather than mention about people...... Why not find something else to do, watch good movies, or television, read books and listen to just music..... talk with a friend ..... It sounded like you really heared some people talking about you (?) did your really hear it? Did they mention some important details about you? ...... If that is the case leave the place, find a place that is quite different. Why not just read good books and forget what they are talking about...? When people talk about others, they (may) just want other people to forget what it is they have that others need to talk about. Someday, they will find out they are wrong ....
Leave them alone in what seems to be keepintg them bussy keep yourself bussy with something else..... There is a lot of thing to do....

for god's sake, don't tell this to a psychiatrist, they'll put you on really strong drugs and then you won't know what is yours, and what's someone elses.
these are classic symptoms of a mental disorder..keep them to yourself, exercise a lot and work it out with discipline.
