Is it normal to be so paranoid

i am paranoid of cameras. i hate going out in public due to cameras, i feel like there are people watching and judging everything i do and laughing then sending out employees to walk by and see my reaction and if one smiles at me i think they are smiling at an inside joke they just came up with while watching in the camera room. this is debilitating my life and areas i go and or socialize in/at
is this normal?

    Just think about NASA technology and Google street view before you sleep. Youll feel better.

    It sounds like you have an anxiety disorder, a severe one. A lot of people have worries like the ones that you have. If you can afford it or can get your insurance to pay for it, I would seek therapy if I were you.

    Smoke a LOT of weed. You definitely won't have any paranoia then. Nope. None at all

        I was actually being sarcastic as a joke, but you're free to try whatever you like though.

    I know how you feel. There are times when I can't leave The house or function well in public because of this. I used to not be able to leave the door of The
    house open or walk in front of it, because I knew they were watching me. I'm now paranoid about other things.

    Paranoia could be cause over a number of things, like schizophrenia. How long have you had this?

      This has been going on for 3 years and got really bad during the second year, I sought help, got managable but this keeps comming back and so very easily gets into my head and races on an unreal level of being paranoid about everything.

        I've been paranoid since I was much younger. I used to be extremely paranoid about food and then it kept escalating. I have a therapist, but I don't know if he knows and everything with him is OCD accusations. My family have always told me that I "needed help", but yet they refuse to tell my doctor and keep turning a blind eye....

        For me, I honestly think it's schizophrenia and maybe it's the same for you? I suggest trying to get analyzed for it. If it's not that then I'm sure they'll manage to figure it out:)
