That's where I'm leaning. Obsession can lead to misinterpretations of reality. People really are talking, but the issue is the subject matter.
Obsession, not psychosis. Obsession can have a narcissistic flavor. Could be anything, really.
What to do, though.
I'd be leaning towards CBT and SSRI or even clonazepam.
I don't think you're over what happened in high school, because you're thinking about it in this context. What is most missing here, in my gut perception of this, is self reassurance. That you're okay, just the way you are. You can learn how to do that. At cognitive behavioural school, errrr, therapy.
