If it were me that felt the way you do, I’d be interested in figuring out how it’s happening. I’ve heard that there are devices that can record you with video and audio and you wouldn’t know it with looking very closely at it. Things like electrical outlets, clocks, radios, extension cords, etc. basically if it plugs into something, it could be spying on you.
Of course your computer and your phone could be spying on you too. There are things called root kits that could be installed that can control your webcam and microphone without you knowing it. I’m sure if your internet service were to stop working for a day or two, you could determine if the problem is in your phone or not. Another thing you could try is building a small faraday cage to put your phone into to block all signals to and from it.
Of course using your computer or phone to research this stuff would probably tip off whomever is doing the spying. Either a burner phone that nobody knows about could help, or you could go to the library and use their computers (leaving your phone at home of course).
Be careful what you talk about to your friends. If anything, you could tell each of them a different story, and see which story gets back around to you by way of the people spying on you.
Don’t call unrecognized numbers back. They are likely spoofed anyway. Best to just not answer numbers you don’t recognize, unless you’re expecting a phone call from a business.
Best of luck to you. Be safe.
