Hi !
> I will agree with Ed that maybe that's more social phobia. And it doesn't even have to defined as that, really, unless it causes dysfunction in your life.
it causes on me =(
For example, if you fear being judged by people when walking thru the mall to the point where you can't even go to the mall, we have a social phobia issue.

I have that !On the other hand, if you're absolutely CERTAIN that people are judging you, that's more psychotic. It's one thing to think people MIGHT be looking at you, its another to feel like you KNOW people are looking at you.
>I feel people is staring at me all the time,although I am totally aware that this is not true. I can´t avoid this feeling , I can´t face it , I prefer to hide ,to down my sigth , or to get locked in my room.

According to the research, you would probably have too much activity at your dopamine 2 receptors in the mesolimbic region of the brain that makes you exceedingly paranoid. Thus, antipsychotics would make you feel less certain that people are looking at you and you'd be able to take a more rational approach. So unless you feel like you have an unshakeable knowingness that people are starting at you, you have nothing to worry about and to me its within the realm of normal.

Well, I am so worried because I have been in this condition during 9 years , I am 25 now.
Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life?
Maybe there is nothing outside that is gonna give me my life back. Sometimes I feel like if were getting used to this abnormal life ,and that, is something I am not going to allow. I want to be part of this life like a normal person and not like an stupid and fearfull guy that cant even make a phone call with his mind clear and free of fear.I appreciate your response, you are very kindful
I enjoyed alot your post
