I've been feeling uneasy lately, wondering if someone can see me through my curtains when I'm changing clothes. Is there any kind of special device that could let neighbors or anyone else see through curtains?

While it’s theoretically possible for certain wavelengths (like X-rays) to pass through curtains, in practice, it’s highly unlikely that anyone would be using that kind of device on a regular basis. Most likely, if you feel like someone’s watching you, it’s just a paranoid thought. Trust me, it happens to a lot of people!
Sure, there are spy gadgets out there. But most folks won’t have access to that stuff! I remember those X-ray specs from comic books — they were a total joke. It’s fun to joke about, but as for real life? Nah, not happening!
It really depends on the curtains! If they're solid black-out ones, then no one can see anything. But if they aren't that thick and there's any light behind them, people might catch glimpses of movement. Some people even use aluminium foil on their windows if they're really worried — though that's pretty extreme!
If you’re often feeling like you’re being watched, it might be helpful to talk to someone about it. These feelings can sometimes indicate something deeper, and getting professional help could really assist in understanding those thoughts better.
Honestly, without any special equipment (which most people don't have), no one can see through your curtains. If they're regular or even blackout curtains, you're pretty safe. Just make sure they’re not backlit, as shadows can create an illusion that someone might see through them. Best to keep curtains pulled tight just to be sure!

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that.
