I worry a lot about what my friends really think of me.
I used to do this too, but I stopped. And you should to. If you start over analyzing things and question everyone and everything, you are going to have a habitual thought pattern of "he/she hates me or I annoy them". Sometimes you just have to take things as they are and not question them, as hard as that may be. If you can call someone a "friend" it is a safe bet to say that you don't annoy them generally.

I'm reminded of how I used to blow into a cup before I put anything in juuuust in case something unsavory had gotten into it. No, I don't recall ever having a bad experience with anything like that (I think my worry was spiders for some weird reason), but I did it anyway.

Anything else I can think of that I do is...somewhat justified (making sure ovens are off, that kind of thing).

I won't touch any food/drink that has reached an expiration or even a "best before" even if I've just spent all day watching people enjoy it without getting sick.

Whenever I walk past a dark room, I avoid looking into it. I don't know what I expect to see if I do but just the thought of looking into it makes me super paranoid. I also knock on wood whenever I make comments such as "it could be worse!" to avoid bad luck.

Expiration dates are really just premature estimates to make sure nobody has the right to complain about the product by the time it actually has a chance to become bad (;

- I don't like having my feet sticking out from my blanket.
- I don't like being out after dark by myself (even if it's in my backyard).
- I hate sleeping without a nightlight in my bedroom.
- I don't like sleeping without my snuggle blanket.
- I don't like leaving the house without a plushie of some sort.

I could go on forever... tbh. :|

Some events made me paranoid of losing things. I used to check my bags, pockets and everything I could whenever I thought I lost something, sometimes even forcing me to go downstairs and check my bag while I was sleeping. It has gotten a bit better, not only because I calmed down but also because I found ways to cope with it: keep everything in my pockets, keep stuff at the exact same place, check my pockets and bags before leaving the house.

There's some other paranoia concerning someone looming in the darkness of the bedrooms, but that has to do with a traumatic experience I'm more anxious than actually paranoid.

I check to see when people on Facebook were last online to see if they're ignoring me and I know it just makes it worse :/

This was something I had developed recently: I must have a dim light in my room every time I'm by myself at home. I also gotta have the door closed.

I once had a nightmare about a rapist coming to my room and get murdered on the spot. lol
