The only point of having a disorder is if it is actually impacting your life and you can't change it on your own.
The list is so subjective, that anybody could pick any of these things and apply them to themselves.
I think the real measure is, are they so extreme that they are ruining your life, and you can't control it?
For instance, if you had such a problem with shopping in stores that you couldn't go in and get food for yourself without freaking out then you'd probably need some kind of help for that. If you can go but you just really, really hate it then it's not much of a problem.
Hopefully, a doctor and/or therapist would be able to give you a course of treatment to get over that.

It is possible that you have any number of psychiatric disorders. If you really want to know, go to see a doctor, but you might just be a hypochondriac, like me. I've taken several actual tests for psychiatric disorders online, just for fun. I apparently had a lot of symptoms for many of them, so I went to the doctor. Apparently, I am just searching for something to blame my problems on, which is normal. The thing is, a lot of the symptoms are normal in people, just in moderate amounts, certain situations, or when not accompanied with other particular symtpoms on the list. Go see a doctor if you are really concerned. The money will be worth it to rest your mind if you are okay, or you might end up being diagnosed with something and then you will be able to get help.

You sound pretty normal. Not good, just normal. As regards the paranoia ; You only have to be right once, to make it all worthwhile.
