what does paranoia mean?

Question

my mother always seems to be annoyed with me but when i ask her what ive done wrong but she says i have done nothing wrong is this paranoia.

It means being neurotic and unreasonably suspicious of other people's motives.

Answer 2

It means that you are the physical incarnation of paranoia- if paranoia was a physical being, you're it Basically, she's saying you are so paranoid that if you looked it up in the dictionary you'd see a picture of yourself btw I'm not calling you paranoid, just answering your question.

Answer 3

Paranoia is a Greek compound word!
Paranoia = PARA + Noia (from NOUS and the suffix IA)
PARA, denotes away from, aside of, etc.
NOUS, is Mind
Suffix IA converts and gives the word a special meaning
Thus, PARANOIA is insanity, since paranoia is the condition away from logic!

Answer 4

No i wouldnt call this paranoia. If it was she would also say that she thinks you have done something wrong. I think its more that your mother gets easily irritated. i would say it is something with her hormones or maybe she has a burnout.
