My bf used to call me "stink" because I used to be so worried about me having bad hygiene/smelling...  I used to get paranoid that after I walked away from someone, they would laugh at me for me smelling bad... It was ridiculous at the time, but it made me very paranoid to the point where i would ask over and over, "do I smell?"...
So, I definetly get the paranoia thing... And like others, if someone addresses a group of people, majority of the time I automatically think it's about me... For example, at work they sent an email about people not using their badge when entering the building. I immediately started to wonder if the email was about me.
Just try to relax... If you know you get paranoid about things, ignore the obssessive thoughts...
