They read every thought out loud as I think it. I hear them discussing my most intimate memories even when I do not actively think them. One example is I looked at a photo of a bird and heard them discussing the death of a pet bird years ago. this is one of many violations of my privacy. Every day of my life I listen to them use me as their reality show. I am 99.9% sure they are not psychic. They followed me around listening through the walls and spying through my windows for a couple months before I first noticed they are inside my head. Have you heard of this happening to anyone else before? I live each day listening to these persons picking apart every thought, decision, action, EVERYTHING. Even as I type I hear them reading what I write to you. I am also attacked from a distance. The police tells me this is Hollywood espionage stuff. I live every day with the neighbors who have no familial or other affiliation to me IN MY HEAD! Any advice or info that you have will be appreciated. They have destroyed my quality of life and have relished every second of it. Please help. I have no idea how to block or prove I am being violated every day.

Additionally, I think that even if we did know how others wanted us to act, we might find that we would be offended or turned off by the way they wanted us to act anyway, so it's really a nil point in that respect also! Most people seem to care about their own selves, and not others, so I think that is another reason we should be concerned about our own thoughts. Being desperate for the approval of others can also lead us to take very unwise actions, so like the post says, self-confidence is the best tool of all. Well, this is a very good point.

We all still have to follow social norms and follow the lead of others in certain situations, but in this case I'm talking about what you called, "getting too caught up in thoughts." That's where I think a lot of anxiety sufferers struggle, they overdo it with the reading of body language, tone, intonation, gesture, etc. We all have to learn to let go (unless you're trying to get a job!) and relax like Sue said. This is a tough one for most of us I think. Hey Emily,

It is pretty important though to pay attention to non-verbal cues, even tone and I think that's where the mind-reading begins. That's what I have trouble with because I feel like I am pretty adept at being observant, but then I get too caught up in my thoughts that it trips me up in social situations. Great post Paul!

I'd like to think other people are just as concerned about what I think of them, as I wonder what they think of me. We have to remember we are all just people, with our own quirks and foibles, so we should just relax and be ourselves! Good thoughts!
