I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I notice that more and more people are using the word "paranoid" when they simply mean "worried".

Usually this turns up in health communities. "I'm paranoid I may have so-and-so." No, you're not experiencing an irrational feeling of persecution, you're just worried, so just say that.

*sigh*
