How do you sign up for this parade?

I'm trying to figure out if I can ever be cured of my own paranoia.
Have they left that cabinet unlocked because they're trying to trick me?
Are they whispering because they know if gets to me?
Are they trying to get a reaction?
At least, one person I know is open about playing on my insecurities.
"I've been interrupting you deliberately." he told me.
Now, I take great comfort in knowing that he is doing it deliberately and I don't have to be paranoid about it.
But if I lose all my paranoia, then I won't suspect anything. Does that sound true?
I was thinking that by losing my paranoia, I would be losing my skepticism. I don't endorse skepticism as a major function of one's personality or psychological make up, because I think skeptics are sad people for the most part.
But it is healthy to have some degree of skepticism. I say this, because a large part of my life I have been very gullible. I've learnt my skepticism through the lessons of being gullible.
So, it's a trade off: skepticism vs gullibility.
But, an overdose of skepticism will shrivel your soul and may lead to paranoia.
So, paranoia, where are you leading me?
How do I unleash myself from you?
What everyone else is doing is not necessarily anything to do with me.
But, what if it is?
