Any other NFs here who strongly dislike being watched ?
This is an issue I've been having since I was 16 or so (34 now). Whenever I catch someone gazing at me it makes me more uncomfortable than it probably should. I've read here and there of people a bit like me who'd wish to be invisible at times. When there's many people I also get a strong nagging sense of being watched, even when I'm not. I saw a psychiatrist years ago and he said I have a primal fear of being judged by others. Probably a very common fear also, but one that is very annoying to me and one I'll probably never fully get rid of. Compared to most people I think I'm ridiculously self-conscious/self-aware. I often wish I wasn't.
So...could this be an NF thing, or an INFx thing ?
