Unhelpful inner monologue

I can really get in my head too much around other people ay. So annoying. Like today at a group boxing class I was almost certain that I was killing the good vibe and making people uncomfortable around me. Its hard to discern if its me overthinking or if its true sometimes. I understand that every now and then it would be true. But I never know or im never sure each time. Frustrating. Anyone else get like this?

When I’m a the doctor’s office and in my room, nurses/staff start talking loudly outside. Feels like they’re reacting to my vibes. Like when I leave the hall, the vibes are better. I don’t hang around people besides family and friends for this reason.

I feel this way often and wonder the same. Do I send angry vibes? I get intrusive thoughts around people too.

Yeah i fully get you. I often think that neighbours talking nearby where i live are the same as that. But I try to tell myself that the reality is is that its pretty rare for anyone else to really give a damn about me or what im thinking or feeling or how im acting. No ones really focusing on me like I feel that they are. Its just a trick my own thinking plays on me. The illness.

I’ve had this on and off most of my life even when I was a kid. Haven’t had much luck getting rid of it. Probably not going anywhere either lol. CBT can help, but it starts getting bad if you get thought broadcasting/mind reading delusions combined with it. Its usually quitier/easier to ignore if I’m getting quality sleep and some exercise. Meditation can help too, but its been a few years since I’ve done any. Need to try and get back into doing it regularly.
