Being paranoid can be exhausting. It takes time to overcome. Start by training yourself to think a different way. Instead of thinking, 'they are laughing at me', think 'they don't matter. I'm happy as I am.'

Be confident. You know yourself better than anyone else, and that can take you a long way. However, you must be able to recognize an immediate problem and seek help if the problem gets too extreme.

Determine what thoughts cause these feelings for you and then decide if they are realistic or unrealistic. Stop focusing on the "what if's", and Maybes. Fixate your mind on what you know to be true

Everytime you have a negative thought, figure out 2 positive thoughts to go along with it. Keep a journal or talk to someone you trust with your thoughts, expressing emotion can decrease stress. If you kept a journal, re-read it weekly. You might be able to accept that many of your paranoid beliefs are unwarranted.

One time, I was walking home from my friends place around 10 pm in the dark. When we were walking back, someone was following us. Now, i am terrified of being alone at dark. But, if I take deep breaths and reassure myself that I am stronger than I was now, I can get through it.

Well, first it depends what you paranoid by. Then once you know what it is you can take steps to trying to break it. I would recommend doing this with a friend. They would help push you when you don't want to do it but they will understand and be able to comfort you!

ive learnt that by opening up to someone about it, addressing the paranoia, can help ease the feeling. Chart why you feel paranoid on a piece of paper, show your friends or family or both and ask them what they think about it

You cannot necessarily stop being paranoid; you just find ways to cope with the anxiety. Commonly, breathing exercises and filling out a daily planner/calendar can help ease the paranoia.

Try to think rationally, question yourself. Is this a rational thought? Is it a useful thought? I could be doing something else right now, you can try and distract yourself from these thoughts. From drawing or watching a series. Anything you like!
