When I was younger, I used to get really afraid of some things. If my cat came in the room, suddenly I'd feel like she was going to hurt me. I'd watch her constantly.. when I tried to look away I'd be too overwhelmed by fear and just keep staring.
I was reminded of that tonight when I kept getting his creepy feeling that a dog in an ad was staring at me. After a bit I covered it up and then considering burning the dog out of the picture with a lighter, so I could know it was really gone.
I wonder if that's how paranoid schizophrenics feel? Not to suggest that I am in any way, but that slight impulse of terrified paranoia I get sometimes.. maybe it's similar to that?
