How can I stop being paranoid?

You coul try to think you are not a mind reader: you'll never know what is in people's thoughts and often you are more worried about yourself than the other people, whos as you, are worried about themselves. Also you could have present your imagination can make you tricks, even more if you have a poor esteem, and the most of ideas you have are only ... Yours. Maybe you could try to see situations from the outside: like you were recording or filming the scene in wich you are, and then think how this really look, how this really is, judging if there is a truly reason to think you are being judging or in the center of the world or really in trouble, or is all in your mind. Expose yourself to your fears is sometimes the best way you can recognize there's is not so terrible as you thought, and with every little expose you'll feel stronger and free.

By facing our fears, coming to terms and confronting those things that are making us paranoid we can eventually cope and overcome them.

have faith that everything will work out. not always how you want it to. but how its meant to

Ask yourself some simple questions, use logic like "why is this something I'm so worried about" "how could this possibly go wrong" and then maybe you will calm down.

Take a step back, hypothetically of course, and think about the situation you are in. Try and find something to root yourself back into the present, and think about calming things, in the past this is something that has helped me a lot.

Keep yourself grounded, I know this world is very scary but keep saying things around you and use the grounding technique.

By trusting your present and learning to be in it.trying to learn how to trust is a really good kinda answer

Just take. A step back from what your doing and take a couple deep breaths go to a place you feel comfortable and sit down and relax

Something unconventional that works for me. I think of something as ridiculous & unlikely as whatever I'm worried about but something that's obviously ridiculous. It makes the 1st thing feel a lot more ridiculous too.

It depends on what you are paranoid about. Say it's something you had in a dream. If it involves someone you know, try to talk to them about what happened and how you feel.
