Is this normal?

Is this normal?

I keep on seeing weird connections everywhere. Like messages only I can decipher that are meant for only me. It makes me think I'm under surveillance or something. Like the government is watching me for some reason.

For instance, I am growing more and more paranoid of Facebook and social media. I think about something and within a day, it pops up on my wall. Coincidence or not? The songs played on the Aria chart show... I think of a song and up it comes. You tube isn't much different either.

It's got me more than a little bit jumpy. I tried to tell the Mrs, but feel really stupid bringing it up in case it is something everyone experiences and it is just me being silly.

I have my webcam covered too @Fractured. I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one who does that!

I never answer questions that Facebook or Google ask, as I'm afraid of where it that information will go and who it will be passed onto.

Ok @Queenie - all this talk made me turn off my webcam in my laptop's settings - fixed. Facebook is a bit like "Hotel California" - "You can check out any time you like .. but you can never leave"
