I feel people are out to get me. Do you feel the same?

Post Reply New Topic

I have this all the time. Since I have found out that people with disabilities give off vibes that we can't escape from, no matter how hard we try to look beautiful and act normal, I have got the feeling that these horrible vibes gives people the impression to pick on me, (yes, even as adults), and it's made me become so anxious now that it's causing all sorts of physical issues, like severe tense pains in my chest, frequent stomachaches, and difficulties swallowing which causes choking. I never had trouble with any of these until I have read about people like me giving off vibes even without doing anything different. It's even affecting some things I do in my sleep. I sleep well, but in the middle of the night I find myself doing odd things when half-asleep (still asleep but awake enough to remember doing), like finding myself out of bed searching for something that's not there, or thinking there are loads of people standing in my room, and actually ''seeing'' all these people, then realising I was just half-awake dreaming. And sometimes I wake up struggling to breathe, and sitting up gasping for air like I'm having a heart attack. I've got to stop doing this, because if I got a boyfriend and I was sleeping in his bed with him, and I started doing these sorts of things, he's going to think I'm crazy. I'm not sure whether to go up the doctors about this or not. I know it's just anxiety-related, but I don't want to take drugs for it because there are a lot of reasons but I can't be bothered to write all down why.

But anyway, that's besides the point. What I'm saying is, I've learnt I give off vibes all the time where ever I go and I feel that people are out to get me because of this. It's making me anxious about starting work, in case people know what a stupid mug I look and so will decide to get me into trouble and get me sacked. And I'm afraid to live on my own, because I will only get a flat, and where I come from, most blocks of flats often have drug-addicts, unemployed dossers, or just generally rough youths living in them, causing trouble somewhere, and I just shudder at the thought of an honest descent vulnerable young girl like me living among people like that ain't going to work. I just know it. I know other unconfident people who has had this sort of thing happen to them, and they're NTs. I'm not being funny, but it seems that I feel more uncomfortable with other girls than I do boys. I find boys don't notice my horrible vibes so much, but girls do. I don't like it. There's no escape. I just feel that people are out to get me, and I wish I just lived on an island with my family and friends and I knew everybody that lived on this island, and there were no rough youths picking on me. I jumped for joy on my last day of school, thinking that all of this teasing and judging me has come to an end, but I've actually found that I'm being laughed at more than I was when I was back at school! Or is it because I've become more anxious?

Anyone else feel the same? Does it cause you physical stress too?

I'd love to answer this post properly but I can't at the moment so i'll just say: yes, frequently.

Every single day.

all the time-and sometimes they are out to get me-just because you are paranoid doesnt mean they arent really out to get you--"paranoia big destroyer"-from the Kinks.

Yes I feel like that at times, it can be quite obnoxious.

No, I don't think that people are out to get me.

Not at all. I see a world is is almost universally ambivalent to my existence. Whether I live or die matters not to anyone but a very small circle of people. If I died tonight, most of the world would not know of my passing. Some that know me would not be moved, some that know me would be moved briefly. Only those very close to me would feel any lasting effects.

Yep, this is basically how I see it too.

I used to feel this way, but I've learned that people are infinitely more interested in their own lives than in you. They're laughing at you because they can see they can bother you. I'm afraid there are some people who have lives that make them so miserable that they have to laugh at others in order to feel better about themselves. Those people are not worth the time of day.

*hugs* I know all these symptoms; I used to get so scared that I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Talk to a therapist. You may be able to work this issue out that way, and if not, there are some very good anti-anxiety meds out there.

People who know me, yes, I wonder if they are out to get me at times. Seems like a handful of them are. People I don't know too well, I am somewhat apprehensive of because they are strangers and people say strangers can be dangerous blah blah blah. Most the time I find people who don't know me are more amicable toward me than people who do. I don't go running off to Vegas with them or anything to risky, though. But, I don't do that with people I know really well, either. For me it's a matter of trust. I don't have a lot of faith in the human species. People say "human race" instead of species but that's not entirely accurate.

IMO, it appears that you are apprehensive about your future. People are the center of their own little universe and could give a rat about other people's little universes. You are giving yourself too much credit to think you are part of their world.

In many cases, I probably should be more careful to make sure people aren't out to get me.

When things in my own "little universe" feel hectic and overwhelming, other people and their "stuff" seem to intrude on me more.

Other times, relationships that are already on shakey ground come to a head because I can't take one more thing from that person. I burn many bridges that I shouldn't have constructed in the first place, if that makes any sense.

I'd say analyze what could possibly going on inside your life/ your own head to make you feel this way, At the same time, keep an eye out for the tossers who would take advantage of your vulnerability at this time.

I'm with Sammich on this one. I should feel that way more often. I'm usually oblivious to people who are overtly out to get me. <shrug> There's a certain cognitive dissonance to my situation of not being paranoid, but still being sociophobic. But it is what it is.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I'll issue new directives to all the field agents.

Never. I'm too well-shielded from invisible minds rays in this underground bunker.

No, I don't feel that people are out to get me. I feel that, if anything, they don't care very much and are indifferent to me.
