I have a staring problem

[Falkor]

Helleu,

So I have this serious problem. I am sitting in the kitchen right now, and my brother is in my eye-view. He is on the right in front of the table. I'm on the laptop and he is too. I keep on looking at him, while he is hugging the cat, playing games, keep on checking if ''he's attention is on me''. I feel like it's eating on me. I need to walk away and not sit where he can check me out. It frustrates me, I constantly need to look at him, stare at people in general, in public i mean, when they are in my sight. I constantly get distracted.

When I look at someone, i look and look away, but i keep repeating it, to check if their attention is on me, i can't just focus on what i'm doing, because my feelings are totally sky high to the top because they can observe me, it's my huge fear.

So, um, my bro just said ''Why are you looking at me so much, everyday?'' I told him, ''I'm sorry, it's something I can't help'' he said ''Stop it'' I said, ''I will try'' and it made me even more afraid of him, that he judges me on the fact that I do.... I realllyyy want to stop. How can I stop this friggin' problem? It's idiotic! I have OCD I think!!! It's not on purpose, it keeps haunting me that this TIC's are constantly happening....????

I met a girl from SAUK, who also has this problem so I know I'm not alone.. She also keeps staring at people, we sat in a restaurant together this saturday and we had a lovely time... Though, it was very funny that we both were so ''alert like guard dogs'' she was like a mirror to me, but it made me very happy to see that i'm not alone.. We even talked about it and had to laugh about our behaviour.. Though I thought pffff, it's so stupid, we both want to change this fact.... What is it, OCD? SAD? I don't understand...

Anybody has a conclusion, or a TIP please to NOT be so uncomfortable in people's sight???::

I also have this problem, constant the feeling everyone is watching you for some reason, When I walk or if Im on my bicycle and im passing someone by I can't stop starring at them, even when they passad by Im getting the urge to look behind my shoulders checking if they do the same, so I know if they look also behind there shoulders I probably must be weird, but 99% they don't do that, the brain is a complex thing to trick us believing everyone is looking while in fact they don't and even they did , they probably didn't care or think about you anyways..... You don't care or think about the other person you se passing by.... SocialPhobia is a weird kind of negative self narcisme all things are focused on you, while in fact nobody really cares or think about you except your parents

It's probably not the same thing, but I can't help but stare at girls I fancy.
