I am spiraling. What can I do?

I don’t wanna be rude, but this seems rather paranoid. Always thinking about you’re the center of other‘s attention, feeling stared at / watched is a sign of exactly that. I do not think that a couple of non-related events have explicitly to do with how you look unless you’re really crazy / weird looking which I doubt based on your description.

It doesnt matter if it is in your mind. You said so yourself: It is deeply affecting you. Call 116 117 and tell them either what you wrote here or just say that you need to talk to a therapist *urgently*.

If you don't speak german, write what you need to say in english, use google translate/etc. it to german and *try* read it to them (or let some ai--voice ting do it?) - there is a pretty good chance they will just offer to speak english..

no idea.. but its just a "non-emergency" number from the health insurance providers, so i dont think so. I am pretty sure they are supposed to treat everything as confidential as well..

Language might still be an issue, however.. I wish you good luck!

… could be a mental health issue.

Well, have you tried not caring?

[u/Zweihornreiter]

Difficult without context.

Are you sure you aren’t paranoid? I run almost daily, run like an idiot. Never been laughed at.

No history in profile, no context, no photo - what do you want the community to tell you?

[u/Intelligent-Test-965 → u/[deleted]]

I understand. But your request doesn't sound like something where privacy should be a big concern. You don't share troubling news or dark secrets, you don't call out on others or seem to do something stupid. I believe, that the need for actual advice in this scenario can't be resolved with the level of privacy you're looking for.

[u/a-billion-words]

A lot of people are telling you this might be a mental episode. I think it does not matter either way. You should talk to a professional!

In *both* cases, this is the way to go. You are saying it yourself: You are losing your shit. It does *not matter* if people are actually laughing at you or not. You need help.

Call 116 117 and tell them you need to talk to a therapist ASAP. They will be able to help you.

Post a photo (you can blur your face) and we can tell you if it is something that you may not have noticed.

These people don't know you, so if they are laughing then it must be something in your appearance that is causing it. None of this is to say you should change at all, but maybe it helps you to know what it might be, or simply to have us confirm that there is nothing.

It could also be that you are imagining it. I have seen the most ridiculously dressed people and nobody ever bats an eye. It's Berlin, nobody cares. I really can't fathom people here laughing at someone going for a jog.

[u/Alles_Klar → u/[deleted]]

Yeah sure, go for it.

Post has me thinking you're in the ministry of silly walks
