I do think they are the less-accurate forms of better words, because they carry such negative connotations. They are often used to wound and denegrate people.
Is it someone's fault if they are naive?...or paranoid? Or somewhere in-between?

Yeah it makes sense and I don't think it's necessarily anyone's fault that someone is naive, lots of people just grow up being that way. Now it may be due to past negative behaviors that cause someone to be paranoid though, that's my experience since I grew up naive but then became more aware .
