Hey Med
It's not remotely psychotic to think people are talking about you. Have you ever been in the presence of someone who, hearing voices, laughs innapropriately? In that situation we always think the laughter is directed at ourselves. My son, 4 at the time in that situation, said to the laughing one 'why are you laughing at me?', which was disarmingly honest. We mammalians are social and heirarchical (if only we were sloths) and naturally obsess about fitting into the group. Don't worry too much. Later on you will look at your photos from now and think that you used to look pretty good.
