Yes I believe it is. Anxiety is most often accompanied by low self-esteem. When one tends to worry alot about how they are precieved by others,one quite often is afraid that others will be able to read our thoughts. In which we may be judged. I assure you the only thing people can read of your thoughts are the ones you chose to reveal. Do not be anxious your thoughts are private and safe unless you choose to share them.
stay strong your thoughts are yours alone....vlbhopes

Hi Angie,
I agree that if you perceive others can read your mind it will make you anxious but it also occurs to me that this is a feature of some other conditions. There is a technical term known as 'thought broadcasting', which refers to what you seem to be suggesting. If it is making you distressed, and if it occurs in many situations, I think you should consider a visit to your doctor and let him or her work with you in order to disentangle what might be going on. If you'd like to share a bit more information with me in confidence, use my email contact.
