Not really like of you aren't doing anything weird like people will probably leave you alone

Unless they are like annoying YouTube pranksters then just give them no reaction at all and they will probably never post it

This is not true I can guarantee people are very rude and mean hearted and will record or take pictures of people just because to them they look weird, awkward, or an easy target even if said person is minding their business

That's probably the best idea thanks

I mean you might not be, who knows. Anyway paranoia can sometimes show itself when you boost your dopamine too high. Coffee, marijuana etc.

Thats why meth addicts are all completely paranoid

if someone post you on YouTube without your permission im pretty sure u can sue them easily, so everything is not that bad

Exactly maybe I'm not crazy

I have this fear while being in public sometimes

Do you think having OCD and anxiety can cause paranoia? Cause I'm definitely not psychotic. I just think people are generally bad in spirit which fuels what I'm saying and my anxieties

you have this fear your whole life or something happened?

I would feel bad about doing this idk

Not sure whether theres a correlation

I'll ask my therapist

actually if you have all this stuff it can just be it. not paranoia but that’s how your anxiety shows itself

Only recent years I started feeling self conscious in public

yeah, considering that it’s probably just you overthinking stuff because of your anxiety and it doesn’t make you paranoid. just something that bothers you as well

A lot of people itt are speaking from the privilege of having money to dress well, not being ugly, etc. speaking as an individual who doesn’t go outside acting “weird” dresses relatively okay. But I still stand out because I’m awkward looking, strangers don’t record me because I’m not outside much in this digital age (agoraphobia) but speaking before smart phones were a thing for everybody strangers still harsssed me approaching me trying to get off “jokes” in front of their friends. In recent years I had went out of town to a big mall and a man had his whole daughter (she looked maybe 4-5 years old) run up to me to tell me I looked funny I forgot how she phrased it in an attempt to try and record it for some vine joke. Mind you I didn’t look or was wearing anything out of the ordinary it was a Sunday I was wearing Ralph polo and some dress shoes. People are just rude for no reason at all and being unattractive or timid looking is enough for someone to try and get easy viral clout off of you

Sounds about right

Didn't mean to make this thread to seem like I had problems mentally

Was just curious about what people should do if someone is filming them obnoxiously

I have severe anxiety. This is a constant fear for me. Mostly because before phones I had a very bad problem with random strangers approaching me just saying mean s*** for no reason

Man I'm so sorry that's f***ed up

People really are some heartless negative pieces of s***

this girl i know says she records a boy if she finds them attractive just to show her friends, told me most girls do it but they try not to make it obvious

i would also feel uncomfortable when a friend would record me for their snapchat lol, like wtf am i supposed to do, they would do it randomly

I definitely have for most of my life but it helps to realize that like unless you are purposely trying to get attention you don't really matter to most people that much

Like most people will ignore you probably

That's sad some people suck

No it’s not a real concern unless you go out of your way to act like a fool

I'm shouting out "This is bad for my mental health, you're triggering my anxiety." so they get cancelled for uploading it.

happened to me a few years ago on New Year’s Eve

I was drunk out of my mind throwing up on the street

Some kid was laughing recording it (I had no idea) but my 2 friends pressed him to hand over his phone so they could delete the video

almost became a meme
