I find that lately, I have become somewhat paranoid at work. Whenever my manager has a meeting in his office where he needs to close the door, I feel like he is talking to someone who is complaining about my work quality. Even when I know deep down that it's probably something else, I can't concentrate well until the meeting is over. Then I don't feel completely relaxed until either enough time has passed or I find out the meeting was about something totally different. Of course then I feel silly but very relieved. Also, I've gotten to the point where I don't want to be the first person in my office to leave for the day. We all go home around the same time but sometimes my office-mates will stick around a little longer. I feel like if I leave first it will give them an opportunity to discuss what a peculiar person I am (since I am quiet) which will lead to dislike. I usually try to stick around until at least two of them have left. It's funny, I really think I've improved on my SA issues but this is one area where I think I have gotten worse. Anybody else have this issue?
