That is exactly what I was thinking about when I was writing this old post: http://www.sebastyne.net/2009/07/the-superficia... It is sooo funny, when people who dress to a sub culture's standards pretend to be “individuals” who “don't care what other people think about them” and be “different”.

One time, while watching a news show,I saw three teenagers all dressed like Madonna- in various stages of her career. There was the material girl, the girl with the coned boobies and the desperately sought Susan look. They had obviously put in a lot of effort. When the reporter asked me why they went for the look, they said- practically in unison,”Because we want to be different.”

It is one of those things that if you don't think a bit can fly right over your head.

LOL, I’m sure people aren’t obsessed about me! I’m just prone to obsessive thoughts on my own.

People mostly think my barbie dolls are interesting, but then I usually talk about my silkstones when anybody asks. I don’t buy a lot of playline – rarely enough for no one to notice.

It’s a bit different thing what I’m chasing after here, although closely related. To help you with your paranoia, I once read something that really kind of eased the occasional paranoia for me: “People are not nearly as obsessed about you as you are about yourself. Other people don’t spend nearly as much time thinking about you as you do.” It kind of puts it into a perspective, doesn’t it? We are always more important and interesting to ourselves than anyone else is to us, because it’s hard not to make your life revolve around yourself as you simply cannot get a moment’s peace of yourself.

What I’m after here is believing everyone is judging you by a stereotype, in the sense: “Oh I know he thinks I’m childish because I collect Barbie! I just know it! Oh, there, he said flat out he thinks I’m a kid at heart! I just knew it! That bastard!”

sometimes I am excessively paranoid about how people will perceive me, either due to me being what I can’t help being, to how I use my words and try to express/explain myself… sometimes I just think way too much than is healthy LOL (yeah, I do laugh a lot in real life) – most of the times I am oblivious when people give me funny looks – I actually don’t know if I am more odd when I am paranoid or when I am oblivious…

Am I? :p I wasn’t thinking of you when I wrote this, but if it fits, I may have nailed my point better than I thought. It does have a thing or two to do with the being weird -post, I have to admit.
