I'm a straight teenaged girl. The people in question could be anybody ranging from classmates to total strangers like the guy on the bus or the construction worker carrying boxes and shifting past me in a corridor. I get nervous when they come so close they pass out of my line of sight and the slightest sensation, a prick, a nudge, is enough to set my mind racing. I hate perverts, but I'm no feminazi either. I can't tell if the sensation is real or imagined. Sometimes my rational mind tells me it can't be but I havethis innate gut feeling. So...am I going insane or is it just business as usual in the life of a teenager?

i think such thinking must come from a fear of it happening

Just tell her, "With a 'stache like this, do you really think I'd make a good Brokeback Mountain Man?"

That perfectly normal to feel strangers, but to have an abnormal even paranoid feeling isn't you might consider seeing a therapist to find if there is any underlying reasons that you might feel so strongly about things...though I believe it is just a matter of becoming more developed in your sense of self and people around you

Um, I don't think you're insane, but I also don't think this is normal. You have the right to live your life without unnecessary anxiety. I think you should have yourself evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist and follow their recommendations. I think you'll be a lot happier.
