We all feel insecure at times so remember, the people you think might be judging you, might think you are watching & judging them. The One Who watches over all of us, all the time, loves each one of us completely. Trust Him. Let go of your fear.

You're not alone. I feel the same way but I;m not certain as to why though.

i feel everyone is looking at me. you aint the only one. i look away. i look at the sky, sun, water or cars or stores. people's eyes scare me cuz they mostly look soulless.

Eyes are the window to the soul. I'm with Truthlives. There are more people who appear hollow to me than people who do not.

I won't make eye contact with strangers. To much of an energy drainer. Safer to not look.

i feel like people are always making fun of me.and thinking that they are like "eew look at her she is ugly} so yea i know how u feel it really sucks :(

Nah, they are too worried about what YOU think of them!

Hold your head up high and look EVERYONE in the eye...in case you need to identify them later!

Looking people in the eye first is a good tactic to let people know you are not a pushover AND keep people away. Always give them a nice smile to let them know you are friendly.

SwordDancer, I really liked what you said, that most people are worried about what we are thinking about them!

=)

I also agree with what Sword Dancer said, very well put.

Not to sound unsympathetic with the rest of you. I don't always have the control to look people in the eye and it bothers me. I also feel like I am being watched, criticized, and listened to when I am on the phone and I don't think its all in my imagination. This is a crazy world that we live in and there are some rather sinister & nefarious individuals out there and one should be realistic about this and be aware.

I also have a thing about open windows, I think someone is going to shoot me, or throw a heavy object through the window while I am standing near it and bust me upside the head with it. I always avoid sitting or being near windows...all windows must be closed...

I feel that people are watching me all the time. Don't know why. Wish it will go away.

I get that same feeling that people are watching and judging me just about any time I'm in public. It influences how I act, talk, carry myself, etc.. and really makes me very anxious. What I try to do is think that like Sworddancer said, people are more likely thinking about themselves than trying to judge others. And if they are judging it's not a big deal. If their mind works in such a negative way that they might automatically write someone off just based on a first glance it's their loss.
This is basically my biggest struggle. You can't always beat it, sometimes those thoughts are just really overpowering, it's no fun :/

I have this all the time when in public. It has ruined my life.

Hi im a nebie here, yes i do feel that im being watched, and sometimes laughed at.
ive been like this since school im 44 now. feel i should have got over this by now, but i guess it could be because im watching for comments, laughter . i anallize quite alot try to change myself and find how others see me,, which makes me in turn
paranoid... i dont know how to cope to help with confidence, but my height doesnt help. im only little..
Ive found now to try and just be me i will be laughed at whatever..
the only way it helps me a little

I get this way too but like it was pointed out, others may think that we are watching them, so maybe it balances out? I try not to make eye contact except for certain "safe" people...like grandma types or kids or grandpa types, otherwise I try not to, because I feel it may give out wrong signals. Sure in a "prefect" world ppl may look at each other and say hello, but I dont feel that is safe sometimes, But I do take note of who is around me and their description just in case........

I feel like people are following me - I guess that includes watching me too.

Yes,it can be a very hard thing to deal with,even though I know that people aren't even really aware that I'm standing there,most of the time! They're usually a lot more concerned in what's going on with them rather than giving me a single thought! I know it doesn't make things any easier,but that's what I try to think of when I'm out in public and feel like I'm under a microscope!
