No. to me it sounds like you are suffering from delusions and paranoia, please seek help for if this is left to manifest further you could end up with paranoid psychosis and that isn't the easiest thing to treat. pls see your doctor asap.

Mannie. I think you need some help. That is not what should be in your head. I am not a doctor so I will not diagnose you. You definitely are exhibiting some serious paranoia. Please see someone. Soon.

You need to see a psychiatrist, there is something probably in you past that is making you do these things, then again mabye not, but i think you might be able to work this out with help. here is a definition of Schizophrenia for you.

Schizophrenia (pronounced /ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfriːniə/), from the Greek roots skhizein (σχίζε ιν, "to split") and phrēn, phren- (φρήν, φρεν-; "mind") is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. Distortions in perception may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood,[1] with approximately 0.4–0.6%[2][3] of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists.
