The more i've learned about history and politics, the more i distrust everyone around me. Im always checking to see if anyone's following me. I have covered/disconnected all cameras in my house that are connected to internet or phones, My location is always off, i try to hide or avoid getting photos taken or getting recognized, and avoid signing stuff.Also, i deleted all of my social media and all posts i have made except for whatsapp and gmail since i cannot work without them. I feel that there is always someone watching, and that they're trying to catch me. I have no concrete proof or evidence for any of this, i dont really know why im getting like this. Am i being paranoid?

some of those things, disconnecting cameras and turning off location are generally okay things that reduce digital footprint and make it so data collection is harder on you. keep in mind, using gmail, google scans all your emails so you will be included in their data. however, it is unlikely that you in particular are being singled out among the millions of people various governments may classify as dissidents. it can be normal to have those kinds of thoughts sometimes, but people you personally know are likely not out to get you. if this is causing significant disruption to your life and relationships, it may be good to check in with a professional.

it is somewhat affecting my personal life, since the country in which i live has a fairly queerphobic population, thus making me fear for my safety.

i am nevertheless going to consult my psychiatrist about it because im worried it might also be a sign of a mental illness i am predisposed to, although unlikely
