Everytime I go out or do something in public places I feel like everyone is watching me. I can't help it, I have a phobia I guess. I've seen someone for my anxiety, but I can't seem to overcome this problem. Is there anything that will help me? I feel I can't look around because people are watching my every move and if they are actually looking at me, I panic and go all shakey. This probably isn't noticeable to them, but I always think it is. Has anyone encountered this problem before and is there a cure? Too many problems atm

I used to be a little like that, i cared too much what other people thourght of me etc.Firstly, do you have any reason to be anxious about people looking at you? If so what is it?Secondly, when you walk down the street do you look at other people in the way they look at you? Chances are there just getting on with what there doing, they don't know you, your a stranger in their reality and 9/10 wont even notice you unless you go out of your way to be noticed.But once you realise this fact and start not caring about what other people think you'll feel a lot better.I went from being soo self consious that i was pretty depressed, to now just not caring and doing what i want regardless of what you think other people are thinking coz at the end of the day you don't know what everyone else is thinking do you? It was that realisation that made me loosen up, i really put people on the spot sometimes and enjoy watching their reactions to situations coz you really don't know how people are going to react to the situation.But it sounds like your stuck in your mindset. There is no strait answer to your question, you know the answer already anyhow.

i never said it will take a day,i never specified anything at all.my intention was to inform notsogood that it is notsobad! it will get better! i promise you,it's a matter of time.give it time and you'll allsogood.i struggled with it,i had it as bad as anyone if not worse.i never thought it could get better.i've learnt that if something hurts you or scares you,everytime you get exposed to it,it hurts less and less,until eventually it becomes a little tickling in your mind that reminds you of how far you've come,and how it wasn't worth worrying so much about it at the time.i'm saying have hope,and enjoy the present,because hey man.it'll be ok.you've got your back.if yougo out and shit yourself then do it.i did it.you have to do it.it's good for you.because as bad as it feels at the time,it's not that bad.i was close to agoraphobic,i know what it's like,i know it gets better!but its really subjective,you just have to believe in yourself and not worry about other people in certain respects.like them watchng you,what you do is for you to do.maybe people like watching you?people like to see what other people do,people watch people,they;re not just watching you.it's not something to worry about it.just do your thing.but please jordan; dont misquote me,and make silly inferences from my posts,if you dont mean to be an asshole,dont be one!
