I mean like people like parents/siblings/spouses/significant others/kids/roomates/housemates…
I mean, I have paranoia about other things too (such as germaphobia/mysophobia), but specifically on this issue of people snooping, is amongst one of my top fears, and I’m just curious if other have this similar fear/paranoia.
Like every time I wake up, I wonder if my parents or brother put some malware/spyware on my phone because they think its a funny prank or whatever.
Every time I enter my PIN for my phone, I always cover the screen before entering it in case my parents have cameras in the house. And even more so in public, I’d fear CCTV getting my PIN.
[No, I have not been diagnosed with schizophrenia, I don’t hallucinate or anything like that. (But I do have a diagnosis of depression.)]
[This is distinct from the common fears of government surveillance or whatever. That, strangely enough, I fear much less, since I’m just one in hundreds of millions of people that they would care about, so I’m not so worried about that.]
absolutely, can’t do anything embarrassing In case someone is watching, can’t freely use the web -they (parents) could check our router and see everything. Also I can’t be in any room of the house that isn’t mine, as they could be there, or be watching. I think they read my diaries, although I’ve hidden them. I stopped writing or, couldn’t write the truth in it anymore because I was afraid. Its never crossed my mind, they could’ve just installed something while I was sleeping, but that’s mostly because I just have my pohone with me at mostly all times.
maybe its just because most of this has happened, and my personal stuff never was safe and never will be. I can say, this has scarred me for life now, and these feelings won’t fade, as they have already migrated/taken over my whole day. Constant paranoia everywhere and irrational. I can’t do anything correctly anymore. I might actually die because of this but whatever
