How can I stop being paranoid?

Rationalize your fear, and tell yourself why it most likely won't happen. Also, resist checking and distract yourself.

You can't simply stop being paranoid. Allowing yourself to be scared is important. Don't hold back your feelings and let them build up. Take deep breaths, do what you need to feel safe.

Go to a psychiatrist. Just remember that it is not always what you think it is. Just like they say that life is not what it seems to be.

Use reality-checking techniques to ground yourself and help determine if you are in need of further assistance, and use whatever other coping skills you find helpful.

Talk to someone you trust and care about and whose opinions you usually respect, talk about your paranoia out loud to that person... sometimes it helps just hearing yourself say things out loud so you can actually hear yourself say it... and process what you've said and thought ... and it's great to be listened to and get some other perspective from a close friend or family member or therapist who doesn't struggle with paranoia.

It takes a lot of self control ,"You'd worry less what others thought of you when you realize how seldom they do."

sometimes by finding a hobby or a interest or even talking to someone about it, that can occupy our minds

This is a normal thing that the people around the world have to experience, the best way to stop being paranoid is to go to a therapist and believe that whatever you are paranoid about will not happen and it is not happening.

Sleep more probably. Maybe get professional help. Ask yourself, where did this feeling come from? Is it rational? If it really is not rational. Rationalize to yourself exactly why it doesn't make any sense to be paranoid. I wish the best of luck to you !!!
