Hey, i'm posting this here because some people say it's a symptom of psychosis but can people listen to my thoughts? are there people out there who can hear them? I need to know. Its' been really upsetting me recently and i'm not sure whether its part of the 'illness' or reality??
Personally I don't think they can hear your thoughts and I would be tempted to give the professionals that say it is a part of psychosis the benefit of the doubt. (I am presuming it is professionals btw....if not then I think you need to get their opinion).
If it is upsetting you then that suggests to me it is something you do not want to continue, if that is the case then you should do anything you can to get rid of that symptom.
no one can read your thoughts hun, they might be able to 'read' your body language to guess what kind of mood your in but they can't tell why or how or what your thinking x
I worry about this too, but honestly, nobody can read our thoughts, they don't have the power to do that, they can only read their own thoughts, but they cannot read ours. I know you may look for signs that people can read our thoughts, or you may convince yourself they can, etc, but it really is not possible, honestly honey it isn't.
Do you see anyone for this?
It could be a sign of psychosis, or other illnesses, but in the end, you do need to speak to someone about this, it's the symptom that matters & needs to be treated, so whether it's x or y or z, you still need to focus on this symptom & get to the bottom of it & treat it & get through this.
I sometimes worry about this too, but nope. You can't hear anyone else's thoughts. People may be able to read from your body language what you may be thinking about something, say if you have a look of disgust on your face, but that's it :)
I tried to be perfect but nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I had this problem and its terrifying.However now that I am better I realise thats its impossible to read thoughts.Think about it .If you fancied someone and they didnt know ,how come ?if you hated someone and they didnt know ,how come?
It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.
nope - i mean sometimes we kind of display what we feel with our expressions, so people can tell, especially if they're intuitive, and sometimes those who know us really well know that something is up. but literally reading thoughts? nope. your thoughts are something no one has access to. makes me feel safe.
When i relapse i ALWAYS get this fear too that people can hear what i'm thinking. However, someone on here once told me that when i get this fear and there are people around, to sing songs in my head. In that way the people can only hear the songs if they can hear my thoughts. Or think of a nonsense word and repeat it over and over.
My shrink told me to try and think something really bad about people who were around me and see if they reacted, lol
It's a scary thought that people can hear your thoughts but as you get the right treatment this paranoia will slowly disappear. It did for me

I am currently:
Recently I have begun to think that it is possible because people keep on saying what's in my mind and what I'm thinking!!
It's driving me mad... A large majority of me knows it's not true, but there's that little niggling feeling that's telling me to be wary of what I think
Ive had some very weird experiences with this too people saing what I am thinking or spitting out my private info without me having told them anything
i dontknow what it is
there's being paranoid and theres stuff that actually happens ...i dont know what to think anymore i tried doubting and challenging but stuff kept happening at work and i had to leave some of the things these people were saying seemingly out of the blue were very personal and embarassing secrets i had told no one..and the lady saying them was somone i knew butnot that well to tel them to...she seemed bothered too at the time she just said ' sorry did i say something dumb again'...so she experienced it too..so it cant be all delusion.
make sure your not just being paranoid...and keep a journal
thats all i got...the rest..i just dont know..sorry
