Checking something multiple times to assure yourself that something is correct or safe because you are aware of the consequences of it being not safe or correct.
I triple checked that all the divers scuba tanks were fully open and that the gear looked correct because I have healthy paranoia.
I got healthy paranoia so proof read the document a few times before sending it off to the publisher.

When you stare at your phone while walking to ensure you don't miss any PokèStops
Joe: Stop putting your phone to your face
Joey: But I have to catch them all
Joe: It's bad for your eyes
Joey: I AM NOT MISSING ANY POKESTOPS
Joe: *thinks inside in his head* Someone had Pokèmon Paranoia

A mental condition where one parks and lives in fear that his/her car will be stolen or tampered with because he/she cannot remember whether or not the car was locked before leaving it.
"Dude, Transformers starts in 5 minutes we need to get our seats pronto!"
"I have to run back to my car and check that i locked it, sorry i have bad parking paranoia!"

The paranoia beast is a many-headed, many-horned, invisible beast that descends upon a group of stoners as they slide into mashedness and causes them all to suspect each other of pretty much anything. Repeated exposure to the paranoia beast causes long-term psychosis, and can lead to complete insanity, during which the victim is unable to trust anyone or anything, and is permanently haunted by the beast night and day, when every creak, every knock, every minute sound is the beast's footsteps.
Stoner 1: Is Kenny okay? He's got that strange look in his eyes....
Stoner 2: Looks like he's being visited by the Paranoia Beast. Give him a bit, he'll come round.
Kenny: (Growls)

The feeling you get when you switch or close an internet browser tab on a computer for a perfectly normal reason the moment another person walks by in view of the monitor. Typically inherited from repeated cases of having an individual ask "what were you looking at?"
My mom walked into my room the instant I closed Internet Explorer. I was only closing my Steam account, but I bet she thought I was browsing porn. It's probably just my Tab Paranoia.
When sitting anywhere but a car especially with your cellphone on silent. Every slight bump and jolt seems like it is vibrating. This is especially traumatic when you actually are waiting for some important call.
Dude 1: What the hell is that guy doing?
Dude 2: The one with torn clothes and wild eyes?
Dude 1: Yeah, he's pulling his cell from his pocket every twenty seconds.
Dude 2: Oh, that's just phone paranoia.
the state of being convinced communication services are down/blocked- especially if caused by none of your contacts seemingly ever being online.
"I haven't seen any of my contacts all week, even my inbox doesn't have any spam! I don't think this new software's working properly."
"Don't worry, the software's fine. It's just connection paranoia."
