Why do I feel paranoid in public?
I always feel like people are watching me and I can't truly be myself without people
judging me. I do have a somewhat odd/obnoxious personality so a lot of the tines I am just quiet and look around a lot to see if people are staring at me. It gets so bad that I feel VERY uncomfortable eating out at restaurants and would prefer takeout lol it really is terrible. I censor my personality because people don't "get" me and I feel like I would be made fun of if I acted myself. What do I need to do to stop feeling paranoid, nervous, and anti social?

Well, it sounds like you could have Social Anxiety Disorder, also known as Social Phobia. I act the same way when I am around crowds and tend to keep to myself, but to stop feeling like this I take some Sertraline and it helps to make me feel relaxed and calmer.

First you need to study the way of life of idfaf ounce you have learned that you will began to live again. You shouldn't let other people's thoughts hold you from living you have every right to be you plus u shouldn't care what people think because its none of your business. Plus if people look at you it's because they think your kewl and awesome.. No need to be paranoid because people are most of the time wrapped up in their own situations soo you just have a fear of people I think you should face it head on and learn the art of idfaf which means not giving a ****
intresting i really thought i was the only one who experienced this,i dont know how to stop it man but your not alone.
