If this is the extent to your irrational thoughts, I think you're ok...
I think I've run people over when they cross behind my car (even when I'm going forwards)
I murder people in my mind daily. I see death, carnage and destruction around every corner. I worry and catastrophise. It's what I do. And it used to freak me out thinking I must be some kind of deranged loon but then I realised that they're just thoughts, they're not reality.
Do you think it's delusional or is it just simple anxiety ?
The kind of thoughts you're having re 'everybody talking about you' is a very common anxiety thought these days. The spy thing is a little funkier (depends on what you've been watching on tv) but you still have a long way to go before the peeps in the white suits come for ya.
