Perhaps you have a low self esteem and you sincerely feel that others are more capable of evaluating your worth . You perhaps feel that all people are judging your actions all the time

Through subtle paranoia, it often sounds like people are laughing at us when we don't even hear it. These hidden anxieties trick our senses into thinking we are being ridiculed and give us reason to think lowly of ourselves. I happens. But it does not make us fake to creating things to be upset about, nor does it make us stupid for believing that other are actually laughing at us.

Maybe you feel like there is something about you that will make people sneer or laugh. Are you ashamed or embarrassed of some part of you? Try asking yourself why you feel this way. And how you can work on this insecurity to bring yourself out of it. Also keep working on the small things that help make you happier and healthier; drink enough water, get enough sleep, eat a good meal. And most of all, remember that it may take some time to work around this issue, but it will take time and a lot of effort. SO don't lose hope, and keep fighting.

its a common feeling, either if you just did something embarrassing, or you did in the past which people are still talking about. honestly, everyone has that feeling.

People who suffer social anxiety tend to feel uncomfortable in their skin and so a simple walk in a crowded environment raises their level of anxiety which in turn makes their mind race a hundred miles a minute. With so many thoughts in their head, heard pounding, increased sweating, and face burning the person assumes that everyone is looking at them because of the physical symptoms they are experiencing. Does that make sense?

Maybe because you know that you are one of a kind, you attract everyone's attention to you. You might feel self conscious from time to time. Its alright, you should know if there really are people laughing behind you some are also dazzled by you

This is what some call the "spotlight effect" We feel as though everyone is looking at us when in reality its all in our head! It shows a bit of self consciousness but you usually should have nothing to worry about

I've been there. The best thing to do is brush it off, chances are it has nothing to do with you. We often feel this way when we're feeling low within ourselves. Hold your head high and ignore those negative thoughts.😊

It is because you are self-conscious about yourself. Try not pay attention to the negative thoughts.

Your probably just paranoid. You think that people are judging you and no one wants to be judged. The best thing to do is ignore it, People probably aren't even laughing at you and if they are don't worry about and just go on about your day. People are going to criticize you no matter what you do so don't worry about it. But most likely they probably aren't laughing at you it just may seem like that because your paranoid about something.
