Big problem...... paranoid moment? Please help. ?

Question

Im a 17 year old teenager. I was at traffic lights on my own in my car. Another car pulled up behind and they were also teenagers. The car was ful of them. They were looking my way at the car laughing. I could see in my mirrors. We carried on driving up the streets for a while and they were behind. They were putting their heads out the window and shouting stuff. They were looking my way. I also saw one of them throw something. I saw in the mirrors. I felt so wierd. Why did they do this 2 me? Do i look like a ***** or something. I spent hours afterwards wondering things about it. I've been suffering for stuff like this for 2 years and i hate it. I just want to be a normal kid who doesn't get laughed at or threatened. Any help please please??

3 incidents occured 2 day. Another woman went passed and when she saw me she started laughing.

Alot of these incidents occur everytime i leave the house. I hate it. I feel like dying. I'm not even gonna say its paranoia because its not, its just me. Its not paranoia.

Answer 1

It's normal for kids to yell out windows at other cars and act stupid, it isn't that you look weird or like a wuss or anything, it's just dumb stuff kids do.  

I hate to tell you, but it does sound like paranoia, like it or not.  Mention your paranoia to your parents, since it's obviously really interfering with you.  Obsessing over it isn't normal, but what you are dealing with could be one of several disorders.

  

Answer 2

Unless you put on a clown costume every time you leave the house, it is unlikely that people are laughing at you.  I would definitely see a counselor / psychologist about this.

P.S.  Teenagers laugh at all kinds of stuff, and are not reliable indicators.

Answer 3

Some people feel the need to feed off of other people.  Do you stand out in any way? Are you different?  People feel insecure when people are different.  And for the other teenagers fallowing you they were just trying to get a rise out of you and they were being stupid.
