    As long as you wear your tin-foil hat, you should be safe.

    In my old room I had a small window that was behind me when I sat at the computer.
    Freaked me out a lot :)

    Looking at you from behind??? Do you have webcams set up behind you? Put Post-It Notes over them, lol. That's a low-tech way to stop that paranoia.

    Um, people can remote access your computer itself, and see whatever you're doing right in front of you. Oh nooo! And this can potentially happen anytime.

    Ah well. It's a computer security illiterate world.

    Geezus, I've got work to do in 4hrs, and oh no this site has become a fun random momentary addiction for me. Oh no!

    Actually, I have a scary story to share now.

    When I was young, I always used to play online games that made me forget everything for hours. Because our computer was in the study room, thats where i'd be.

    So I started playing at noon and ended up noticing it was dark around 11 at night. Right when I looked outside, I felt a hand on my left shoulder. I thought it was my dad, so I turned around. Of course, like in many ghost stories, there was nothing there. It scared me so much, I never use that computer anymore. Luckily I now have my own laptop, which I use on my own room.

    Sometimes I think someone's looking at me through the camera on the computer. haha.

    I do get scared when I'm alone though, especially if the light and/or TV isn't on.

    I used to use the desktop for my internet adventures and I used to get freaked out about it regardless of day or night. I still get paranoid on my laptop. There's a window next to me, two closets and a door and it always freaks me out. I'm not looking up anything bad, but I just want my privacy and alone time. It's normal.

    Look guys, I understand that this is spooky and all, and sometimes these paranoia type of feelings are just that, but this is the scary part, don't look over your shoulder right now because I'm standing right behind you!

    Now tell me did you look?

    You know when people get paranoid its usually because they have something to hide. Hmm, is there any other isitnormal topic that you would like to post?
