hi there just seeing if i have paranoia or if its possibly summin else. im not too educated on all this so any advice/opinions would be great..

ok ...
1.very consious when out in public what ppl think of me/judge me ect.
2.when in a conversation with someone if i see like a negative body language reaction from them or if they get real nervous i get really paranoid/feel stupid
3.scared to see ex gf's from years back as ive put on loads of weight and wouldnt want to be laughed at
4.i stay in alot now and i quit my job as i do have anxiety and low self confidence.. my friends wondered what happend with me as i hadnt been going out with them and they found out i had anxiety ect.. and i feel if i ever see them out in public id feel below them and they would maybe try to rub it in and think they are better then me ..
5.hate standing in shop/market ques waiting to be served as i get really paranoid/anxious what ppl might think of me /judge me ect.

is this paranoia or would you say its more of a self confidence issue?
just wanted to have a little clue before i go see a doctor

ps.im even paranoid about what the doctor might think of me ect.
and i dont like ppl to feel uncomftable around me /coz then i feel the same as they do
hope this makes sense lol
thanks all

do i have paranoia?
the problem is that you are trying to live your life from peoples thought,which is degerours.ppl must ALWAYS think some thing about you so it donsn't matter what they think just be happly with yrself.let me show you how to be happly with your self.when you wake up in the morning,walk up to your standing mirrow and start saying something good to the image you are seing.do this for one week and tell me, if u do not see a new born self esteem.you need to be happly with what you are now.

thanks so much my friend .. i will give the tecnique with the mirror thing a good go.
i think its just part of growing up and accepting who i am really and having low confidence dont really help.. i think your 100% on the "trying to live life from peoples thoughts" thats exactly it ..which im going to try doing some work on. thanks again
