Is there a name for this?
A paranoia that my entire acquaintance is in an agreement to act as if I am a normal person when really I have a serious defect: whether it's mental or social or I'm just an undesirable person.
I used to have this fear when I was a child and I thought my mom "hired" my friends; it has resurfaced after a recent traumatic experience. Is it just paranoia or is there a name for this?
Comment on DrBill100's post
Thank you. Your last sentence that my fears must be interpreted within a broader context, may I ask what you mean? Would it require interpretation between me and a professional? I don't really want to seek professional therapy, but more so I don't want to push people away because I'm afraid of them...
Thanks and sorry for asking more questions.
