I drive my car with its doors locked all the time. Depending on where you live, it seems to me that is a reasonable precaution!
Being "paranoid" can be a part of BPD or of many other emotional disorders. I think it is just an exaggeration of normal fears, which are not all unreasonable. It is a good thing if you can give yourself the permission to think that you deserve to be safe -- and then try to establish some understanding of what fears are reasonable now and what fears may stem from long-ago experiences.
