Feeling like people are laughing at you when they aren’t isn’t a common sign of anxiety. Do you experience any physical signs such as Fast heart rate, shaking.. etc..?

I experience this a lot. It can be especially hard for people who haven't experienced this to understand how much it can affect someone's life. It's definitely in some shape or form in the category of anxiety. From what I've learned in my psychology classes, I know that this correlates with social anxiety. Disclamer: I am in no way able to give a correct diagnosis. Do look into some reliable resources (or talk to someone about it) to learn more about this topic. I know talking about it and bringing the thought to light would be helpful when talking to the right person (like a guidance counselor). I wish you the best of luck!

Maybe you are paranoid I totally get where you are coming from because I have felt the same way. But really I was just paranoid. So just take time for yourself and always feel free to come on 7 cups and talk to people about how you feel about this problem and many more!Because the fellow listeners and I would absolutely love to help you and many others out. For me is when I think people are laughing at me is I take time and just breath and relax because that's honestly the best thing you can do for yourself.

Sometimes when you are anxious or nervous about what’s going on around you, or things have been said about you, it may feel like any snigger or any laughter in the area is about you. I have experienced this and I believe the answer is simple. If you are anxious, scared or nervous about things , you become more sensitive to actions around you, taking everything more sensitively or personally than usual .

i think it could be social anxiety. you are worrying about what people think of you and your self esteem is a little low since you think that people are laughing at you. you don't think highly of yourself and you think that something about you might push people to make fun of you. i'm guessing you don't feel comfortable in your own skin and you wish to change many things about you. this can also be related to depression since depressed people don't usually feel good about themselves. you can check out the anxiety guide here on 7 cups to learn more about it

The feeling of being mocked or laughed at is not uncommon. Anyone can struggle with feelings of this, especially people who may feel insecure. Insecurity may play a roll in the feeling of being made fun of or laughed at. It is important to take a step back and to look at the situation, and realize that perhaps the brain can can make one over analyze situations when struggling with insecurity or anxiety. I’m addition to this, realizing that you are not alone in this is imperative. The very same people that you may feel are laughing at you may be feeling insecure or mocked as well.

It sounds like you are feeling insecure in some way about something. People may not always be laughing at you. Sometimes they are laughing with you. Other times they are merely finding something that they have heard or seen humorous. Becoming paranoid that about people laughing at you is an unhealthy way to be thinking. Even if they are laughing at you, why not laugh back anyway. That way they will start to wonder why they are not affecting you. This is a difficult strategy to learn to do but once you have mastered this skill you will take back some control of situations you previously had no control over.

Well sometimes we are too cautious of what people think of us and that may be the reason why we think of things that may not really be true. Others view about us is so critical that we forget that it shouldn't be as important. However, such things differ from person to person, maybe ask yourself why that is happening, why do you think that they are laughing? So that you get clarity about your thoughts. Once you know you can discover the reason for it by yourself, you will not be confused about it as much. Hence, asking yourself questions about certain aspects can help you change your thoughts at times. Still a personal opinion, differs from person to person.

Figuratively speaking you may have insecurities you try hard to keep hidden from people. You may be afraid you can no longer conceal these perceived shortcomings from people around you. You may feel inadequate in some part or parts of your life and you may think those around you know what you know. (assuming you don't actually "hear" voices) What are your current opinions of yourself? Do you think you are unworthy somehow? Do you feel as though you don't deserve to be happy? What happens when you think other people think little of you? What makes you worthy of acceptance from people? By addressing your own image of self you may be able to maintain a more positive picture of yourself.

No they don't. And personally why pay attention to them? Even if they are. Be happy about this too. At least you are making someone happy. Why care so much? Be you. And to be honest Ignore them. Stay happy and blessed and keep shining. You are great. Always remember that. बी the reason for your own happiness. Never put the command of your happiness into others hands. I know this sounds like a lecture. But believe if you believe in yourself these things won't even matter. You will glow. Grow. Become the best version of yourself. Stay graceful always.
