I live in Japan , and I've been here for 5 month now. My problem is whenever I go outside I can't get it out of my head that people are watching what Im doing and making comments about me hence I get nervous and can't relax while outside. Had this problem in the last country I lived in but their wernt as many crowds around so it wasn't a big deal. But the day I landed in Japan the problem maximized, and it became very hard to walk aroud and do things normally while going outside.
When I watch Rozen Maiden and NHK ni youkoso the main character in both shows have the exact same problem.
I try to ignore it and try my best to leave it alone, but no matter what I can't get rid of it.
I don't really mind having this problem but I just wanted to know if anoymous has the same experience or someone that can explain what is behind all this?
the other day I was in a store I overheard two shibuya airheads pondering whether the kooky gaijin (me) wears boxers or briefs (ああ、やっぱりトランクスかｗｗｗｗ while I was going through the shelf) - so what?

I live in America and I sometimes (think?) I hear people talking about me.
But so what? I sometimes talk about other people, and I hear people talk about other people. It's a natural thing.
...or so, I tell myself.
Just curious, where did you live before?
How did go about living in Japan? Are you a resident there now?
You just reminded me go to watch NHK ni Youkoso ep 6.... still waiting for the manga beyond chapter 26.

The easiest way to stop caring so much about what people think of you is to realize how little they think about you.
I've had this same problem in the past, so I know how hard it is. How I cut this off was to just forcibly change my thoughts whenever I thought someone was talking about me. Keep telling yourself that you don't care what they think, and soon you will begin to think this way. Worrying about what others think is a complete waste of time, and it will never accomplish anything.
Also, I'm curious, how old are you and what brought you to Japan?
i also have this problem, my job requires me to work in an environment of alot of people. i walk through the crowd in my uniform and i instanly attract alot of eyes, its like im some form of entertainment so they dont get bored. while i work im always making sure that im doing any mistakes or worse drop something. im always lookimg forward never looking at them directly in the eyes. im always think about what they think of me, and it drives me crazy. i realised a few years ago that always think about what there saying and think makes you look awkward and stiff. so ii changed
