Question:
what would you do if it wa evident this was happening? baring in mind you dont want to confront them or get angry or do anything that could ruin your own chances in life or get you into trouble.
but everytime you went out you felt threatend and intimidated by these groups of peeople. by the way they looked at you...gathered near you in shops, stood near you in close proximaty in shops or supermarkets...invading your space.remember its tough, because you cant lose it and go beserk because then you get yourself into trouble..but its infuriating because their actions and behaviour is very provocating.so because this is happening you feel your life is being controlled..
dont ask me why an unusual situation like this would happen,

As long as people were not laying their hands on me then I would pretend I was someone famous or really important that people knew but were so respectful of they wouldn't do or say ANYTHING that might offend me. I would be relaxed, smile, make brief friendly eye contact, give a head nod or two and go about my business secure in the knowledge that people like me so much they need to be near and want to be dear. Now that is a novel approach and is much easier than admitting to being schizophrenic and in need of meds. I don't know what your situation is for sure. You are describing someone who has feelings of paranoia as well as being somewhat delusional. You also describe a scenario where you have a person living in a strange culture and feeling very out of place and uncomfortable. Being a stranger in a strange place can put a person on guard and make them hypersensitive to what is going on around them. Depending on the situation and if it is temporary, permanant, real, or made up...need facts to provide solutions or suggestions.
I would go for a walk in the country. It happens like this sometimes.
Any Direction Home?
I would move out of Miami
sounds like you are having feelings of paranoia and need to get some counseling. That is what you, or anyone, should do in this situation. Unless you have a particularly shocking appearance, it is irrational to think that strangers on the street have any interest in you or gathering near you. People look at each other. That's what we do. Other people are interesting to look at. It doesn't mean that they feel ill will toward you or are even thinking about you at all. We have to look somewhere!
I would assume they are looking because they find me irresistably attractive. I have been burdened with this same thing for years. Everywhere I go men and women stare at me but I have learned to accept it.
you used the right word, provocating..that's what they're looking for, a provocation & want control through putting fear in you & to control you through fear.
I have been in a silimiar situation & I know how it destroys your happiness & takes away your freedom to do what you want.
The only way to deal with this is through self-control & re-claiming your own personal power. I use this affirmation which has been very helpful to me,
I claim my own personal power right now.
I think you should read about Bruce Lee quotes, they'd help you alot on undertanding & becoming strong.
Don't fear them, they're powerless over you & they're more scared than you but I think they're doing this becos they sense they can intimidate you. once you stop being intimidated by them, feeling safe , they'll stop.
can you join a kick-boxing or martial arts class? I strongly think this will help you alot. not only does it help one deal with anger but also helps to make you stronger, please do this, you won't regret it.
