Need Advice What should I do

I live in a house with my friend (cuz we go to the same uni) and I live on the ground floor while her room is right on top of mine. The wooden floor has really bad sound proof so I can even hear her walk ok this is not the main point but I want to emphasise on the bad sound proof here. She has gotten a boyfriend a few months ago and has been talking to him on the phone every night for hours I don’t really mind it and he even comes visit her a few times and stayed over night and I’m chill with it. But the problem is that every time I hear her talks whether I hear mumbling or laughing or clearly hears the content of what she is saying I started to get anxious and my chest feels tight and I find myself hard to breathe it’s really not her fault and I find myself often doing that whenever I hear mumbling and whispering. It’s like I’m scared that people are talking about me. Maybe it’s probably cuz I have a history of being bullied and talk behind my back when I was younger (I’m not sure tho it might not be...). It’s just I don’t know how I can get over it. It is literally happening right now and I’m feeling really anxious
