Paranoid? social events? groups of people? what are they thinking?

it is pretty easy for me to socialize with one person but when the group gets larger sometimes i have problems, for a solution to paranoia someone said "you would quit worrying about what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do" i wish this was true but i have felt things about people and through another person i found out what i felt about the person was all true. if they "seldom do" then what do people in general think about during a social event or in the course of a day say at their job? it would be a great relief to me if they were not bothered or offended by something i did or said. i myself think alot about other people. my question i guess is if people are not thinking about other people (maybe me) than what are they thinking about? Thanks for reading this
Answer:
I think that they usally think about their families, their past, their stuff , trying to have a good time. unless they r dangerous people then they want 2 misbehave and possibly be dangerous. nothing wrong with using your instincts. some r better off than u and can't understand why u aren't like them and some of them may imagine they r worse off than you or actually be and be into things that you aren't,which may be something u can't understand, and some may be around your level and want to help u with your hang-ups

This has nothing to do with paranoia. This presents as Social Anxiety Disorder and would be helped by either meds/o Cognitive Behavior Therapy or both. Good Luck.

I am not a mind reader and neither are you.I suppose they are thinking about anything just stuff.It is not always about you.Your friend is right it is true.It is only your perception what they are thinking.Sounds to me like you have an anxiety disorder.If you want to know what they are thinking why not ask them.It is a social setting.This is how people get to know one another.If you did or said something to offend someone then apologize.If you didn't forget it.You need more practice at this socializing thing.Read a book on the topic or go to some group therapy sessions,where there is no judgements.Check out the mental health in your area and see what workshops are available.
